Let's say I buy a PS4, and a PS4 version of FFXIV. I register my account to the PS4 and join in the Beta with my main character.
Then what?
The progress in Beta is saved to my character right?
The Beta servers are wiped and progress is lost?
Not really clear.

Beta Info
Phase 1: February 22nd to March 3rd.
Phase 2: April 4th to April 7th.
Japanese Standard Time assumed for all dates.
The beta will be accessible for everyone with a PS4, and directly downloadable from PlayStation Store.
There will be a character wipe after phase 1.
Players who made their character in beta phase two will be able to bring this data to the retail version.
PS3 and PC players of FFXIV will be able to transfer character data to the PS4 (please note that this is only necessary for the beta — in the retail version, all players will play on the same servers).
Edited, Feb 13th 2014 12:15pm by WFOAssassin This still doesn't make any sense, sorry.
So I bring my character over and they wipe it at the end of Phase 1? I think not.
You can't transfer PC characters over in Phase 1? You can? It's a new server? What happens to my character on my actual server during this time? Is he gone? Saved somewhere else?
What if I progress on PS4 during Phase 1. Than go play on PC the next day? Will I have the progress? The server is separate? Will I have two copies of my main character during Phase 1? On different servers? Is Phase 1 just a snapshot of character progress that gets wiped?
I would like to buy a PS4 and play in Beta to give it a whirl but I'm not gonna play in phase 1 if that time is just wasted. Sounds to me like I should wait until Phase 2.
Than again, PS4's don't have solid state drives. Don't think I can go back to the load-ages.
