The Square Enix EU site has just been updated with two testing jobs that are almost certainly to be for Final Fantasy 14. Square Enix lists the following on their site:

Job Description

Game testing and proof-reading
Identifying and reporting linguistic errors and game defects
General tasks related to the quality assurance (QA) process

Skills Required

Excellent native-level French with a keen eye for mistakes
Good English communication skills

Pluses

Knowledge of MMORPG (Final Fantasy XI in particular)
Knowledge of role-playing and console games

Other Information

£7 per hour + overtime
Project-based (flexible duration, full- or part-time)
Starting Date: Beginning of June

Given that they are hiring users into their company to test the game in the near future we can only assume that the game is much further along completion than previous thought and thus general beta testing is just around the corner! This is significant news in the timeline of Final Fantasy 14 so be sure to keep checking back here for more.

Here is a link to the Square Enix page in question
