TL;DR Summary:

There will be a final maintenance on November 1st. This maintenance is when they'll make the final save of your character data for A Realm Reborn. Anything at all you do after this date (exp, crafting, loot, etc) will be lost.

The servers will be taken offline on November 11th. They are however considering leaving them up if people desparately want them to, but because no data will be saved this is simply to allow the community to still interact.

Alpha testing for A Realm Reborn starts soon but will be sign-up (and initially Japan) only. This is because the test servers will only be online on certain days while they are in the office to oversee it. People in the Alpha will have to sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). There's no date for the Alpha other than "soon" -- it's likely the Alpha will be going on long before November 11th.

No specific date for Beta, he says "not until he's 100% happy" things are ready. If he starts Alpha soon though I imagine they intend to get it up around the same time servers go off. He doesn't really mention what Beta entails other than it's for "opening it to the big wide world" so I'm assuming that means "everyone gets in". I'd imagine by this point everyone's character data would have been transferred.

Oh and finally don't forget there's the Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Event in the early hours of Saturday morning. There's supposed to be some FFXIV stuff there.
