[moogling]

Final Fantasy XIV's 1st beta sign-up began at December 16th. As there were too much players rushed to apply for the beta keys, the official site was once forced to shut down. Anxious applicants sent various questions about the beta test and today Square Enix posted their answers.

According to Square Enix, the details and time schedule regarding the beta testing program for FINAL FANTASY XIV will be announced on the official site but not right now. And the beta is during the FFXIV development process to check and fix issues.

I've read the initial numbers for the beta will be quite small (whatever small is), though the questionnaire you have to answer says to me that they're looking for specific people, especially when they start asking if you've played FFXI, had beta experience and asking for system details >.>
