No version 1.0 players get into beta as of Phase 3 (of 4).  Progress is saved from phase 4, and then you also get a 30 day trial after the official launch.

So technically you only get 1 month free, but considering all the time in 1.0 that was free and the beta access you are getting more of a deal than "30 days free" implies.

Older players (as in players over 40) get no special benefit either, on the off chance that is what you meant.

Correction Players of V1 with legacy status get in the beta starting tomorrow 2-25-13 (monday) and will play until launch then get a free month. Brta Phase 3 is open beta and PS3 beta , Phase 4 is also Open beta then launch then you get a free month to play .

Yeah but not all 1.0 characters are Legacy, there are exponentionally more who simply bought the first game.  Phase 3 is also not open beta, it is Closed.  From the Beta Roadmap:

PHASE 3
?Closed beta/NDA lifted
?Duration: 1–3 weeks
(subject to change)
?PlayStation 3 beta test begins

It is invite only, but all version 1.0 players will be invited.

Ahh Ok I hope i played long enough to get legacy.

To qualify for a legacy account you must have subscribed for at least 90 days before June 30th 2012. This includes a situation where you purchase a 90 day subscription on June 29th, you do not actually have to have used those 90 days yet. If you qualify for legacy status you will know about it via a logo in the character select screen.

Pretty sure it was Sept 30th. As I had only 2 months paid I believe then 3rd mid sept and I'm a legacy.

What's this 40 crap?  Senior Discounts don't kick in until 55!!

My understanding is that we get the first 30 days free like anybody else, after that, the only difference would be subscription price and a couple game features for Legacy players.

Considering the whole free year of playtime we got with 1.0, and discounted montly price for ARR, I'd feel guilty asking SE for anything else.

-holds the Collectors Edition- As long I don't have to buy the game again, I'm in. If I have to re-buy the game, I'm not touching this game cause of principal. :P

You're safe in that respect.  The new retail version should be free to download for anyone that originally bought the game.

If you log into your Square Enix Account, Select Service, Final Fantasy XIV, next to the buttons that say something and cancel service there should be a red logo next to it.  If that's there, you have legacy.
