Just thought it might be nice for some to know.
FFXIV Beta to begin in one month
Our lovely translators have translated a recent Famitsu article from E3, where they interview Tanaka. Read the translated quote yourself. Since this interview was done the 16th June, we can expect the beta in early/middle July as long things go well.
Tanaka: The beta version we're showing at E3 is nearly complete and should be ready to be made public soon. Currently, we're still debugging. Once alpha tests finish this week and we return to Japan, we will begin preparations for the start of beta testing. It's not set in stone, but I think I'll need to make everyone wait for one more month.
