As a Legacy members for Final Fantasy XIV, I received my beta invitation this morning. The wording in the email is more concrete than that which we've received before, and it leads me to believe that only Legacy members will be able to participate through the first two phases of the Beta Test as per the following note:
By the sounds of this, any non-Legacy applicants will be notified about acceptance before the beginning of the third phase, but not sooner. I'd be interested to hear if I've misinterpreted this information. If any non-Legacy members received an invite to phase one this morning, post about it.*Registration codes for service accounts that do not qualify as a Legacy member will be announced before the start of Beta Test phase 3.
