Dude, Defiled and Noc are gonna be the Roegedyn brothers again. Actually all character data like levels and stuff will carry over from 1.0 but you'll be able to reselect your race and recustomize your character. Not sure if I want to start fresh or carry my character over to have kind of a head start.
Here's the beta road map which gives a rough estimate of when the game will launch. Everyone with an FFXIV account will get in by at least phase 3. Phase 4 will be "open beta" and all character data will carry over to release.
Sounds about right. This weekend will be week 3 of phase 1. Then you have the 1-2 weeks of debug after this phase ends. So anywhere between 2-4 weeks until phase 2. We probably won't see release for another 3-4 months.
