Do legacy players get early access to AAR? I heard you don't even need to pre-order can any one verify this?

Correct. Legacy account holders get early access without any action taken.

1.0 players without a legacy account, however, do not. If you don't have a legacy account, early access is only through pre-order.

this isn't exactly surprising news, but it's official that they are announcing the beta phase 4 date in tomorrow's live letter. http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/08/07/start-date-for-final-fantasy-xiv-a-realm-reborns-open-beta-will-be-announced-tomorrow/

I watched that test broadcast. The one guy was wearing a scholar hat, but the other guy was wearing a summoner's horn that was like 4 feet long. There was also lots of Japanese stuff I didn't understand and lots of laughing about something.

+1

Does anybody know if the option to switch your character appearance will be phase 4, or the actual release? I don't want to excitedly click through menus logging into phase 4 and miss the opportunity lol.

I'm hoping all V1.0 characters will simply be given that potion that Ket posted. That way we can all change our appearance once, but we can do so at our leisure.

No clue, if otherwise.

Well, we won't know any dates/times until the live producer thingy tomorrow. It may not even start on Friday. I'm hoping it will, but we don't know for certain.

The permanent character design choices are actually at the official launch on the 27th. All your progress carries over from beta and early release, but you get to remake your character one final time at launch.

If they follow the path they had on previous phases of beta, it will start very early Friday morning. Something like 2AM EST I believe. Most likely it will be on whenever you decide to login Friday.
