Does anyone know when they will be back up or was this it?
I hope they come back up because, other than a few minor issues such as the PS3 targeting during fates (some what got that figured out) and the issue with the TP (it just regens too fast outside of combat and the skills are so cheap) with my Gladiator, I didn't have a problem. I loved what I played and I am looking forward to launch but I didn't get enough time to try Pally which was my favorite class in FFXI.

They will come back that is 100% sure. The phase hasn't ended. They are doing it like phase 2 i guess and they open the beta every weekend. They were saying though that at phase 3 they will at some point have it on for longer periods of time.

Either way will suit me, I didn't even get the chance to change classes to see how that works.

Here is their layout for the testing schedule for phase 3 be mindful this will be subject to change. I wouldn't expect for the servers to stay online for a extended period roughly 3 weeks from today.
Quote:
Test 1 - June 14, 2013 (Friday), 2:00 a.m. to June 16, 2013 (Sunday), 2:00 a.m. (PDT) / June 14, 2013 (Friday), 9:00 to June 16, 2013 (Sunday), 9:00 (GMT)
Large-scale checks of core PlayStation 3 functions
Operation of multiple data centers
Checks for stability in light of increased content
Checks for increased server load due to battle system revisions
In addition to the establishment of regional data centers and the above test objectives, the first phase 3 test will place emphasis on world stability and functionality on the PlayStation 3.
Critical issues reported by players will be addressed immediately, or by the start of the second phase 3 test at the latest.
Test 2 - Schedule TBA
Transfer of character data from Version 1.0
Once the PlayStation 3 version has been confirmed stable in the course of Test 1, we will move on to Test 2 which will include character data transfers and the addition of worlds from Version 1.0.
Test 3 - Schedule TBA
Test of the Duty Finder player matching system
If there are no major problems with the transfer of character data from Version 1.0, all subsequent tests will include the Duty Finder. Although limited in functionality, large scale stress tests of the matching system will be conducted.
Final Test - Schedule TBA
Once all key objectives for beta test phase 3 are complete, a final test of the game engine will be conducted to ensure server stability. During this test, worlds are scheduled to remain online for several days.
Final adjustments in preparation for release will be made during beta test phase 3, and your feedback will be invaluable as we conduct the tests outlined above.
Certain circumstances may necessitate the change of test objectives and scheduling. Should any schedule changes be necessary, an announcement will be made.
We thank you for your participation in the beta test, and hope you enjoy the experience!

Beta forgives all, try and convince him you where doing a service to your fellow gamers by testing servers. Maybe you can even spin it to look less like you just forgot and really where doing something important.

I actually spent Friday/Saturday player off and on reach Lv.10 but I spent 80% of my time exploring the areas, playing with the settings on the games config with my TV's config and examining the character system (inventory/armor/abilities).
My PC can't run the game so in the end I'll have to get it on the PS3, my biggest concern with the PS3 version was the over all clutter I felt during battles. This target system was good for FFXI when there was only 1 (maybe 2) creatures to target, but when there are 5+ it's impossible to target the one you want currently. I'd like to see D-pad up/down for people and D-pad left/right for creatures.
and for some reason on the PS3 I kept seeing frames of animation missing from creatures and other players. I assume that is cause this version of the beta is not fully optimized. maybe in next weeks beta it will keep getting better and better.
I would love to play this on PC, maybe in the next 6 months I will get a gaming PC but if I want to play FFXIV 2 release the PS3 it will be. I guess in that since it's pretty amazing to have such an amazing title on that 6 year old system.
