Depends how you define 'recent'. I view the whole MMORPG genre as being a recent development, since it only really started picking up speed around 2000 onwards.

Still, it's an uncommon practice outside of MMORPGs to offer open betas. Of course FF isn't a commercial game, but we said we wanted it polished on the first release hence the beta is closed.
