Lucky!!! I would've loved to got into the beta
I'm really really excited! It's a week and a half away now until release! *SE fan squeal*
I bought Windows 7 and installed it on my iMac via Boot Camp and have run the FFXIV benchmark multiple times just to reassure myself I'll be able to play it.
Oh, and I preordered the collectors edition for the week-early access and that gorgeous notebook so I can parade my geekiness around school.

In regards to my character, as cliche for Japanese people as it may be, I have to be a Miqo'te:

I didn't get in the beta, but I got a chance to try it out on PAX last week, and my only problem is the battle system. It was.. kinda dull for a Final Fantasy MMO. (and I did play XI...well, at least once.). But the rest is okay, the cutscenes, the free roam, the character creation, etc.
Resuming, get if if you're sure of it. (meanwhile, I'll wait for Guild Wars 2 and FireFall. <3)

I like to give it a play, but my PC would never be able to run it so I'm waiting for the PS3 release instead. Hopefully there will be an open bata for it as well.
Also, whatever happened to the 360 version, was it true that Microsoft threw a fit saying that they had to use the Live servers and/or no cross platform play and as a result Squeenix just said "No, what's the point in an MMO that does let people play with one another, buzz off, you're not gonna pay us off this time either" resulting in it being canned?

I've heard about the 'clunky' feel of the combat system. Is it slow? I hope so because my motor dexterity almost doesn't exist...

Oh, and I'll definitely be trying Guild Wars 2 aswell. I used to be addicted to the first one
Well, I heard that the reason FFXI originally wasn't on the 360 was because SE didn't like the idea of players having to pay for Xbox live on top of the actual FFXI fees - I assume they didn't think anyone would bother. So it was decided that FFXI would only need Silver membership.
As for FFXIV... well, history repeats itself

I can only see it happening at least half a year after the PS3 version's release though.
