I'll just do a simple guide ( hope my memory of the steps is correct.)
1. Goto
https://www.facebook.com/PlayStation.DE/app_1840264550965572. "like" it
3. the page with the app will refresh, and click on the blue button will show u a beta code for pc, and a ps3 promo code to download the client in ps3(if it didnt show, refresh the page, and click on the blue button again.)
4. write down the code somewhere, click the link given at the bottom inside the app will bring you to the steps for activating the beta code.
5. brings you to a website in foreign language with 2 links, click the 1st link.
6. a new page with another 2 link, click top link. a light blue rectangle button.
7. bring you to the SE account page. click on creating a new account (if you do not possess an EU account), or login(if you have an EU account)
8. now it's pretty straight forward, put in email, id name, pass etc. address just simply a fake will do. *remember to select UK/united kingdom. then select british language or watever, can't remember bout this clearly. else your SE account manage page will kept showing the german language orz... had a hard time myself trying to change everything back to english*
9. go to the email you registered with the account, in your email, confirm the activation.
10. opens up a new page, key in the beta code you written down earlier.
11. then will ask you to confirm it's activated by login to your SE account, select service > FF14 > options > see whether beta ARR is enabled.
That's it, I hope my memory serves me right. Been doing that for 3 friends earlier. Hope will help those having trouble
EDIT: opps forgot to mention where to download the client. in step 5, the 2nd link is the beta forum link. click that link, inside the beta forum, look for "Getting Started" thread, then "Test Client Download", and look inside the "Windows" post
