WOOT!!! Check it out: http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/12179-new-ffxiv-trailer-open-beta-date-keep-your-b-name/

The Open Beta test has been dated for Aug 31st at 7pm PDT...10pm EDT...

As soon as we decide on a server, we will post a thread and blog post...according to the information we have gathered, your beta server is "suppose" to be the same server you play on at release... especially if you want to use your beta character's name and appearance at launch...

The details for the FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test are described below.

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 hread, and for those testers who have been assigned the task of reporting bugs are asked to use the bug report form.

When this opens up I would like to get as many people on as I can for some company videos I want to put together.
 
The Open Beta has been postponed due to critical bugs...

I will post the new times here when I find it.
 
I know, me too. :( Although this might work out better for me since I have to work tomorrow and Thursday. I'm guessing the Beta will be opened either Thursday or Friday.
 
Well, in kinda good news, either later today or tomorrow, they are opening up registrations for open beta...keep watching here: http://entry.ffxiv.com/

Email I got from SE:

The Open Beta now starts tonight (Sep. 1st) at 7pm PDT | 10pm EDT...

EDIT: With the Beta starting roughly 1.5 hours before I get off work...it might be until midnight EST before a server is chosen...however, if I can get Jon and some others to keep me updated via text messages, I might be able to update my twitter with the needed info and/or relay the info to Jon... So keep watching the 'Getting Started: Open Beta' thread and my twitter for information about our server and other stuff... :p (As soon as I get the chance, I will also post the information in this thread as well)
