(Note: The beta discs are all included in the same issue of the magazine, but the month this issue will be dated varied between January and March, depending on country of release.) The Xbox 360 beta version included all content from the Rise of the Zilart and Chains of Promathia expansions. It was not a beta test for any material from the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion. Hydra was shut down at 01:00 (PST), April 3, 2006. World Shifters were available on Hydra from March 24, 2006 to April 3, 2006 to allow beta testers to pick the server they will migrate to when they log into FFXI on April 20, 2006 or after with the official release of Final Fantasy XI for the Xbox 360. It is odd that Square-Enix used the English mistranslation of Syldra's name for the server. Syldra is only named Hydra on the PS1 version of FFV, and the name was even corrected in the English GBA version.
