A beautiful pre-release trailer which also includes a portion of the games (vocal) theme song, "Answers," by Susan Calloway:




OPEN BETA DETAILS

Operating Procedure
Schedule:
Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 19:00 (PDT)

*The Open Beta Test will be online continuously for 24 hours a day.
*Maintenance and any other announcements will be posted accordingly.

*Information on testing dates and times will also be posted on the official FINAL FANTASY XIV Twitter feed.

Log-in Capacity
During the initial stages of the beta test, the number of players allowed to be logged in at any given time will be limited, with capacity to gradually increase as adjustments are performed on server load. Should the maximum capacity already be reached when you attempt to log in, a message will appear indicating that the world is currently congested, and you will be asked to try again in a short while. At this time you will be placed on a waiting list in the order of attempted log-in time. To maintain your position on the waiting list, you must initiate the log-in procedure again within ten minutes of your first attempt.

Feedback Submission
While playing, testers who have been asked to submit opinions on anything at all regarding topics such as game balance issues, settings that you may have found difficult to understand, and features that you felt were inconvenient, unintuitive, or required further explanation are asked to use the feedback thread, and for those testers who have been assigned the task of reporting bugs are asked to use the bug report form.

Do you know if SE is gonna let beta applicants know if they're accepted on the 31st, or is it sooner?

Open Beta is Open Beta.. thats everybody and their momma. When it goes live, i'm sure they will post the Client DL for all to use.

Very nice trailer. I could see myself staring at the scenery more so than actually attacking or what not

usually there is a way to sign up for open beta you just have to sign up and your in but you have to sign up via code or other means

Do you think people from Beta Phase 3 are in automatically?

Yes we are, we still have access to the beta forums and all that.

[bd4]

if for some reason or another some of us cant get in the beta i plead to beat player new and old to explore the fatigue system so we can get a more hands on explanation and we can put that issue to rest or try to think of an effected way for SE to rectify its flaw(s)

Wow, that trailer is epic! When did Answers get announced as the games vocal theme? I'm loving it. It's got quite an emotional feel about it...kinda sad. The graphics are beautiful as ever, the gameplay is looking fluid, and the scenery stunning. It's a shame that I'm not going to be able to experience the Open Beta *sigh* I'll get over it.
