My old SquareEnix account was deactivated due to a billing issue, I could only get an phase3 key, so I made a new throwaway account with an EU region to play phase3 beta.  I have since then bought the Digital CE for FFXIV and applied the code to my square account.  I'm wondering if Ill be able to play in phase4 at all since I have a pre-order key applied, or if I will need to apply for and get a Phase4 key once that opens up again.  Just not really sure what benefits I'll have for Phase4, if I'll have any at all

From what I have read, you will be able to play phase 4, but on the 17th, not the 16th.

You will be able to play on the 16th on your throw away account, because anyone who played phase 3 gets allowed in to 4 on the 16th.  Anyone who did not play phase 3 gets in from the 17th.

You may need to apply a beta key to your account you applied the CE to.  If so, Connor and I have some spares.

I would have a good read of the Lodestone posts and the FFXIV beta forums, there are some really good faq posts that tell you everything you can and can't do. I don't have time from work to link for you, but they are really easy to find!

If anyone else is able to link that would be great :)

The problem with the beta keys is they were region locked, so I ended up having to make a brand new account with a Euro location set in order to apply a key.  It seemed like the US region keys were hard to come by.  If you happen to have a phase3 beta key from the US region, I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands :)

I have an unused PS3 Beta key, but nothing for PC.  Its worthless anyway, because according to the instructions that came with the key, the Phase 3 keys expired July 13th.

You only need a Phase 3 key to start on the 16th, otherwise you'll start on the 17th.  I wouldn't worry about having to wait, though.

Also, you mentioned that you already applied your pre-order key?  Its been my understanding that they are not allowing entry for pre-order keys until the 19th.  That has me curious, but no, it won't affect your OB start date, the pre-order key is just for Early Start.

So to summarize: Everyone and anyone can play FFXIV:ARR Open Beta Phase 4, which starts on the 17th.  However all Phase 3 Closed Beta participants can start a day earlier, on the 16th.

So the 16th is like an Open Beta Head Start for Closed Beta players.  o.O

I applied my game key on one square enix site, which is linked to the actual account management?

 

 

This is my FFXIV:ARR digital CE registered to my account.

 

This is a list of my services from when I played FFXIV 1.0, and had my acount reactivated after Phase3.  I no longer remember my login details for my throwaway account i used in Phase3, since there was no way I could use it when the game launched.  I guess I'll just have to hope to get a beta key in Phase4 on the 17th, apply it and go from there.

Hm, a Dev posted that the entry system for pre-order keys would not be available until the 19th.  I'll have to check it out for myself, maybe find that post again and re-read it.
