Square Enix has announced that the first round of alpha tester acceptance notices has been sent out for Final Fantasy: A Realm Reborn. The first group will go to the Japanese region with other world zones to be added at a later date.

We have recently begun sending notification e-mails to players accepted as alpha testers for FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. For those who do not receive an acceptance notification this time, do not be disheartened! We are planning to augment the ranks of testers over time, and there will be more opportunities for you to join the fray.

Find out more about alpha testing on the Final Fantasy XIV site.
