I am not sure if anyone saw the news or not over on August 31st. I am guessing some did, but I thought I go ahead and bring it up. Though I will be hiding the details within Spoiler boxes. I am not sure if this will break the "Rules" or not, so gonna play it semi safe.
But how can i not tell you guys about this (at least the ones who /don't/ know).

Spoiler1) Open Beta Starts August 31st at 1900 PDT. Translation from Military time to Civilian time: 7pm PDT
2) Characters created in Open Beta will be transferable, at least by their names. I am not sure if the deta is as well, but hey, at least it is a /nice/ start! :cheer:
What they have to say:
Players will be able to transfer their character names from the FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test to the official release. As long as the Worlds selected in the open beta test and the official release are the same, the character name used in the open beta test will be usable in the official release.
If a different World is selected, the player will be unable to transfer the character name, and possibly unable to create a new character with that name.
Please note that only the character's name can be transferred. Other data such as physical levels and items cannot be transferred.
*Upon the transfer of player character name, both selection of the world and character name input need to be done properly. Please make sure to remember both the world you belonged to and the name of the character you used during the Open Beta Test.
*With the character name that has been determined to be improper by Square Enix, the transfer may not be done.
*After the open beta test has concluded, the character names still existing on the account will be transferrable.
Examples:
World in the Open Beta Test Character Name World in the Official Release
Transferrable AAA Ccc_Ddd AAA
Untransferrable AAA Ccc_Ddd BBB
*Even if a character name is untransferrable, as long as another player is not using the name, Ccc_Ddd will be usable in World BBB.
Also, off the spoiler.
They gave us a ton of list of Text Commands now (yay!)
Apparently some which are still in testing, a few of theses commands are (cause i have to note them)
/check - It returns!
/friendlist (/flist) - Yes, we do get one!
/emote (/em_ <message> - WOOT! Yes, works the same way that all /ems do.
/sit <subcommand>- This, one is awesome. This is what
THEY say (oh, we Roleplayers have been heard <3)
Certain emotes have special sitting equivalents. Also
sits your character in a chair if the chair is nearby.
>>Subcommands:
on Switch to a sitting position.
off Switch to standing position.
Toggle between sitting and standing when no subcommand is specified.
and ofcorse, all emotes are no / commands as well, like /poke, /admireself, all that fun stuff!
Ok, I'm done now, you may return to your normal broadcast. XD
