Sorry it took me sometimes to browse through some of the pages but i realised it's more like a normal chat than FF XIV talks

I have some questions :

1) i was selected as a beta tester, and i played phase 1 and phase 2 beta test, then i stopped, now i wanna play for phase 4 or open beta, do i need to purchase the game first?if yes go 2), if no go 3)

2) If i buy from impulse megastore, how long will it take to get me the id registration? or is there any better way to get hold of the physical pack from KL? Or do i need to buy the code online if i want to play on phase 4?

3) If i don't have to buy the game yet, i can just play with my beta account on coming phase, then will my character be wiped after the phase 4?

4) Any website with most updated information for me to read for the game? such as races, skills, guides, tactics, etc.

5) Where do i read the latest FF XIV updated info such as when is the official launch, beta test timeframe, is the forum only place for us now?

Appreciate if there's no troll in this and sincere reply. thank you

how do i change my country in the account management, currently it's like this?
