To summarize a bit, this Beta is only for PSO2 JP players and registration will be between December 15th to January 4th. There's no exact date for the Beta but it will be taking place between late January to late February. A second Beta will also be taking place but its date and registration period is not yet available.
In addition, we now have the specs that will be required for PSO2 and NGS following that release.
