For people getting their beta invites, can you please state wither its PC or PS3 and if you are US or EU? Also, if you used the FF13 code in the beta registration.
No invite yet for me. I signed up for the PS3 beta, I played the game at launch (1.0) on PC, and used my FF13 PS3 code that I did not lose.
You played at launch so you are a Legacy member which means you probably have an account already. Log into your account and if it lets you in then download the client from the sub forum

Did they do anything to make combat more interesting than 'mash ability on cooldown'?
This is a completely different game from the first
Try this video not sure if it will confirm anything for you though
