Well...

I'm just going to go ahead and ask this, I am neive(sp?!?!) so please forgive me, but I have been confused. Currently, for FFXIV, is it currently on Alpha or Beta? Because I thought the Alpha stage was the gaming convention thing that happened in Germany, where we saw all those youtube videos, but everything was in German.

That's all!

It's suppose to be in Alpha now/soon, from those select few that got invites after VanaFest.
Beta will start after a relatively brief Alpha session.

Alpha will last for 2-4 hours a day for 5-7 days starting April first. Then they will reveal when beta starts.
