And if you are testing to provide feedback (right?) you would have to gain access to their site with an account so you can leave feedback on issues. Exactly how can you provide the dev team feedback as a tester if you just play without giving them your info...

If the game has no registration/application process, it has no way for you to save any progress on your account because it has no way to attribute it to a unique person. But hey, let's humor your claims.

Oh look, you need to register with this company called GamesCampus to even log in. They even show you an image of the login screen in one of their FAQ about having to reverify your account..

Which asks you for a User ID, forum nickname, password, and email.

Oh look, you can either sign in with Facebook (which has its own email built in), put in your birthdate (!) and email address, or sign in with an "Aeria" account. And how do you get an Aeria account? By putting in your email and birthdate.

OK, I'm not even going to waste my time checking the others then.




lemme quote what i said and bold the important part since ppl seem to have missed it:

"ok im confused, since when does one have to APPLY for an OPEN beta?"


of course you have to REGISTER for an mmo but apply? its an open beta.. why is there a deadline to APPLY? every other MMO if the open bet is in progress anyone can join in at ANY time download, register and play.. THIS game however doesnt seem to be the case instead you have to APPLY before a certain time (before the open beta has even started I might add) before you can participate in the oopen beta. Now oh wise one please tell me how THAT makes sense?

It's a deadline for being registered before Phase 4 opens up. If you miss the deadline, you have to wait until Phase 4 starts to register if you want to participate in Phase 4.

It doesn't really matter if every other MMO does things differently. This isn't such an onerous restriction that its going to drive people away from playing.

Hello everyone,
I have pre-ordered the game and I'm wondering where I get the beta code from?
I had a copy of FF13 and I have a members code which I have just registered.. I know that I am late..

So my question is; do I need to register as a beta tester by July 22nd, then wait until I get a beta code and then register that code by July 30th? (That's what it looks like I have to do, but just want to make sure)

I also have a square enix account from when I played FF11, but I haven't played since 2009 and have no idea what my passwords are. Will I have to make a new Square Enix account, and if I do, how do I do it?

It looks like a lot of people are confused, so I don't feel so bad...

Also, I have just applied to be a beta tester via the link in the OP as of July 20th.

Thanks.

Do you not read your announcements fully?

Quote:
Application Period:

Until Monday, July 22, 2013 (PDT)

* On the above date and time, the Beta Tester Application Site will be temporarily closed and will reopen when Beta Test phase 4(final Beta Test) begins.


Clearly they want the application page down for that in-between period for some reason. And there's plenty of possible reasons, ranging from because they feel like being asses to because the application form interacts with something internally that they will be working on during the period, so they'd rather turn it off instead of having it muck things up.

Oh ok well that whole part makes everything I said irrelevant now. I thought if you didnt register by the deadline then you couldnt get into the open beta AT ALL but since you can still register once the open beta has started then nvm now as THAT is completely normal
