The platform of your choosing when redeeming is the platform you'll get EA for, nothing else.

I can confirm this, as it is exactly what I did. I pre-ordered a PS3 copy from GameStop and used the EA code for my PC. The launcher has since had me agree to a couple new documents and made a small patch, letting me know to wait for EA or official launch to play.

If you're on the phase 4 client, you are good to go! (Currently ver. 2013.08.22.0000.0001)

EDIT: Lost my daily posting limit virginity with this post, see you guys tomorrow I guess. :(

If anyone is having problems or questions, skim through this thread as I think we've pretty much covered all the most common issues here.

lloged in with my brothers ps3 only account it did the same thing!!??

i swear to go SE said we can use ps3 on your pc account
this is bullshit
and the fact i cant make a new thread is fucking annyoing

also if i put EA code in (ps3) and choose PC option...it gives me a 22 digit code, which is my brothers and mine ps3 code combined....WTF IM SO OVER THIS BULLSHIT.



COOOOOOOL SONY IS GOING INTO MAINTENANCE CANT EVEN USE THE PS3 now

So do they allow you to link the ps3 early access to a SE account now? When I downloaded and started it yesterday I just got a page that said under maintenance and there was no way to tie it to an existing account from there.

This has been confirmed before several times.

You have to own a copy of the game for the platform you want to play on, so if you have 3 accounts and you want PC/PS3 access on all 3, you need 3 PC codes, and 3 PS3 codes. So yeah, their entire account structure is already set up to differentiate between PS3 and PC

1) Your Legacy 1.0 CE account should have EA.
2) Your CE PS3 should also have EA.

I'm guessing you have two separate SE accounts for each platform right? If so, you should be able to log on both platforms as long as your PS3 isn't linked to your existing PC account.

Yes, I was able to link my PS3's SEN account to my Legacy PC account earlier. Currently, there is maintenance being done on the SEN from 3PM-9:30PM EST. I'd imagine that after maintenance, those that had the errors earlier should be able to link their PS3 SEN account to their existing 1.0 SE account to gain EA.

Thanks Weks! :) I will give it a try later this evening when the Sony network maintenance is over.

Also if you are registering a PS3 code. @3pm pdt 8/22/13, PS3 Account Services are undergoing maintenance. looks like i won't be able to download ps3 till tomorrow. . . SE said they were gonna email me a code and instructions, but still have not received the email. good thing i printed off the code.

I called up gamestop and got a new preorder code due to the ps3 code error and it not being able to be used for pc ea. Used the new code and selected pc this time and got the 20 digit code and activated ea on pc just fine.

Cannot wait until Saturday! Also a quick heads up for those on PS3, make sure to start up the client and download the 1.8gb patch! That way you'll be ready to go!

apparently the psn maintenance is fixing the issue for peoples EU codes. hope so.

I think the important thing is to have Fun!!! Hope to see you in game !!! :)

I also think the game is awesome!!!!!!!!

Ugh I wish they would have let me know this earlier so I would have used the code on my pc instead of my ps3 >_<!

I had two so I used both. When I logged in and ran the launcher on my ps3 a few minutes ago it asked me to link my psn ID to my SE account. On the next screen where I wanted to confirm what service account it linked to it showed that I had the PC version already registered plus my mog cap and cait sith minion. Can't wait for Saturday!

Lucky -.-'

I dunno if this has been posted yet, kinda skimmed the thread. Found it on reddit and confirms what OP said.

It's like this, either way what ever you bought click the one you want on the preorder redemption page.

Or if you buy it straight off the PSN - It will just automatically give your account it tied to the PS Account you bought it on.

They've said that PS3 > PS3 PC > PC multiple times.

Legacy and redeemed PS3 preorder, Im ready to rock on both ends!

Ditto little one :p

I registered my PS3 early access code by chosing "PC" when registering it on the pre-order webpage.

http://preorder.eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/

Account looks like;

Client updated and says;
"Please wait until the start of the early access period or official launch to access the game."

I'm the same. :)

Non legacy v1.0 & PS3 preorder and redeemed on PS3.

Sadly when tried logging in PC, could not. But got PC code, used and now able to login PC side too.... whew, still prefer play more on PC.

What I'm gathering is that early access codes are not platform specific but can only be used for one version of the game.

-Registering via PS3 will mean PS3
-Registering via the webpage lets you choose PS3 or PC.

So if you screwed that up, you're out of luck and need another code?

I think is is the best bit of info we've had in the past few days, thanks Bayohne!

Thanks Bayohne,

Around 24 hours to go until early acces starts on 9:00am GMT!! We will rock and roll baby!

quick question i want to create a new service account so i can play x2 characters like one for me and one on playstation. would i have to create a new SE account or can i have x2 service on my account. Also have ps3 eA code so want to be careful lol

when i purchased the game it didnt say anything about a free month, i know its stupid to ask, but does the game come with a free month sub or is it after early access we start paying?

Hey guys, early access starts tomorrow, why I still can't find FFXIV to pre-order on EU PSN ? What's going on. I read people pre-ordered FFXIV on US PSN, why can't I do the same with EU PSN ?

Do I have to wait for launch to get the game on EU PSN ?

I still have a question!
I'm a Legacy player that bought the version 1.0 Collector's Edition, so I was already eligible to play 2.0 and Early Access included.
But I also bought the Pre-Order of the PS3 version, because I intend to play on both plataforms.
My question is: Do I have 2 different accounts now? I should have the 1.0 account and the PS3 account (New CD Key).
Is that correct?

Thanks! :)

Hello, I am a little confused with PS3 EA...

I have redeemed my code and the client is currently patching to everything works ( I have seen the bonus item list) so EA is working but when I had to choose the service I wanted EA on (that account had 2 FFXIV services) I saw that the one I wanted, Final Fantasy XIV Service account 2, gave me a option which is a character.

Option
Character name

Items
-xxxx
-xxxx

Does this mean the items will only be available on this character? It's a character I made after suffering from error 3102 so it's not my "main" and not on the right server...

Am I screwed? :(

I would like to know why I am not able to access the game it says on registered account - yet i was a beta tester. Why is this happening? I thought us who did the beta testing were able to play during early access can someone email me and let me know whats going on syrhottie78@yahoo.com

It does come with a free month. I'm guessing billing starts around 20th September?

To the poster above, Early Access is for pre-orders only. Participating in the beta has nothing to do with it.

The most simplest way for early access is now just sign up on the PSN store, and there is no hassle, If old player on ff11 or had the phase 4 set up this work awsome, simple as just buying it , just download the client and accept it. Then read, accept all the next, bang there, not much more, no issues or nothing else, were need to tap on your head or log into your account or call them up. Since feel like there still new after 11 years dealing with people signing up on there games.

No calling amazon or gamestop or nothing just there no codes nothing. Just limited to transfer the data on 2 ps3 so can no longer pass it on.

meatshield:You should be good, Since link to your ff14 account .

If got ff11 account or understand should be using the token, since if your cpu or you go to nerf google or any websearch, websites banner ads that fixed they steal the accounts. Like wow,diablo,ff11,xbox live, psn/

PC version is now updating, thank you!

I can't log in to the launcher with my legacy account, is this normal? It says, "No valid or active service account is available to play FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn". I've played since Beta of 1.0, Alpha of 2.0, and played during Open Beta. Should I be worried. My fiancee, who redeemed her pre-order code, is able to log in and patch.
