Square has stated that they will be doing a beta and that it will be longer than FFXI's beta. How long FFXI's beta was I have no idea, but I'm guessing that it was probably Japan only. There might have been a brief US PC beta, but that was about all I know.
Since they have said it is going to be a world wide release. I'm hoping that it will be a world wide beta test. I already registered at their official site hoping that any beta news gets emailed to me, because as much as I said I don't plan to play anymore MMOs after FFXI. They are doing something with FFXIV that just makes me really excited that I can't say no. Darn SE for having an interesting idea.
Seeing that they have a playable version even translated for Gamescom, I'm hoping that we might see a beta by late this year or early next year depending on their release window.
