Naoki Yoshida, the producer of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, has announced in his 43th letter that phase 1 of the beta will start on 25 February.

I'm sorry for taking so long to put up this letter, but the news you've all been waiting for is finally here. Assuming no dastardly bugs or server errors slow us down, phase 1 of the beta test will begin on February 25!

The roadmap we released has the schedule set for mid-February, so the start is about a week late. However, the extra time has allowed us to prepare more system features and character options for testing. While you all enjoy the game, I hope you also provide us with tons of feedback like you did during the alpha test.

In the letter Yoshida also announced a new system that will be available from the start of the beta: Full Active Time Events (FATE for short). These events occur in non-instanced areas at random. Players can participate by simply being within proximity of the event, and there's no need to form parties. When they are over, players will be rewarded.

Also the behest system is back and improved and is now named the guildhest system. In the original version the behests are quests to defeat monsters which occur near certain aetheryte and aetherial gates.

Like in the alpha stage, phase 1 of the beta will be limited to areas around Gridania. Also a new dungeon for level 30 players will be available for testing.

Square Enix has released a new trailer today of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn called A New Beginning.

Square Enix has also opened beta tester application for the PC and PlayStation 3 version. Apply now if you are interested! North American testers can apply here, European here.

Square Enix has recently posted a new gameplay footage video on YouTube of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Unlike previous videos that showed the environments, this video shows the quests and combat system. Notice that both systems have been improved greatly compared to the original version.

At midnight today the original service of Final Fantasy XIV has come to an end. A massive meteor called Dalamud was summoned to crash the planet which will be the start of the in-game changes that will be coming soon. If you have played Final Fantasy XIV before your character data has been saved on 1 November and will be carried to A Realm Reborn.

With the end of the original game Square Enix has released a (awesome) CG trailer called the End of the Era.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is currently in closed alpha test and they are planning to open it to the public on 26 November.
