If you want to play but haven't bought a copy of XIV yet, or you have a buddy that wants to play, let me know and I can send my buddy pass code over.
Of course, you'll have to manage getting your own install if you don't already have a disc; Kennocha has the DVD .iso available on his patch server.
From what I heard on Eorzeapedia, Square has confirmed that trial accounts set up through a buddy pass only need to register a payment method to convert into a full account; they don't have to pay for an extra copy. Of course, they won't get any of the pre-order item bonuses, those are separate codes.
