Those looking to gain access to the Final Fantasy XIV beta with their purchase of FFXIII are unfortunately in for a bit of disappointment.
)
Previously, we reported on the translation of a few scans from Japanese magazine Shounen Jump that indicated there would be a FFXIV tie-in for customers who purchased first run copies of the game, with what was largely speculated to be access to the game's beta test.
We have now discovered that the "Campaign Code" included with Japanese first-run copies of FFXIII will simply be a "secret in game item". Players will be able to redeem the item for their FFXIV accounts once the code is inputted into a special site when the game goes live sometime next year.
Sorry, folks. No beta for you!
