I suppose this was too obvious and therefore stumbled on. I had a look at my email which came at least a day later with the code, and it does say "Here is your early access code for the Windows PC version of the game". Apparently they are fixing people who chose PS3 so that they can play on PC, but they aren't doing it the other way around. Strange.

Also found it odd you wasted your first post (and perhaps only one for the day) to declare that you weren't going to bother reading the thread, but offer your abrupt input, lol. Well, anyway, I guess you're probably right. Thanks for pointing that out.

Correct. You should have EA on both platforms.

I know that I will only be able to play my character on PS3 for EA. However, when full release hits, will I be able to play my character on the PC? We will have 2 separate copies of the CE of the game. 1 is PS3, the other PC. Is my service account platform locked? Just curious. I'd love to play on the laptop without having to purchase a digital PC license since we already shelled out for 2 copies...

Yes, unfortunately it's platform locked. You will need to purchase a PC version and link your PS3 SEN account to it in order to be able to play on either platform.

Thanks for the kind and succinct response with a link. Above and beyond!

It's a shame the response is what I was afraid of... Thanks again!!!

It's the same thing with the game registration code: the account that registers the PS3 code will only be able to play on the PS3
unless in the future you buy a PC version and add it to that account.

Same thing for your wife: if she registers PC version, she can only log on PC after official launch

I really dont see why they separated the version(other that forcing you to buy the same game twice)since you cant even play on both at same time

My account is an old Version 1.0 account that I registered in June 2011. I've been playing beta and as I had the old game, I don't have to buy another. So do I get access to early access, or not? It now says I have no valid account, but when I go into account details, the status of my account is registered. I dont think I get early access, but can I play on Monday? Is there anything I have to do?

There are two ways to gain Early Access:
1) Legacy status 1.0 account
2) Obtaining a pre-order code by either purchasing a PS3 Digital Download, PS3 Standard Edition, or PS3 Collector's Edition. You would then need to link your PS3's SEN account to your existing non-Legacy 1.0 account.

If you'd rather not spend the extra money to gain EA, then you'd have to simply wait till official launch on Tuesday, August 27th.

Well, you win SE. I payed $30 for my early access code because I didn't qualify for "Legacy" status even though I have been a member of FFXIV since launch of 1.0. Well played.

You could always cancel that order before they ship it.

Can't cancel digital downloads. I don't want to anyway. I just want to make a stink about it because it's stupid. That's all.

Still can't get my PC client to update. PS3 client all downloaded and ready to go. SE Members account and PSN account linked. Not sure why it keeps telling me to wait until Mog Station is up :(

And yes, it's linked to the right account. Only have the 1.0 CE that Account management shows being registered on 09/11/2010.

can any1 help with issue
im a ff14 1.0 se player non legacy i played in phase 4 n had 0 issues.
decided 2 buy the ps3 copy of the game 4 early access.
ps3 client is currently downloading
however i am unable 2 update my pc phase 4 client n get the message (no valid or active service account is available)
i thought early access on my account would allow me 2 play on pc as well as ps3 as i own both copies of the game.(pc is the 1.0 copy)
so i check my account info on the square enix website n on my profile page it only has the ps3 game registered ( final fantasy 14 ps3 registered 24/08/2013)
no mention of early access at all is that what its supposed to look like ?
logged in2 square enix account management n check my currently registered products n it only has ff14 1.0 registered in 2011 no mention of ps3 copy i just registered today n again no early access info.
both accounts have the exact same log in details,they are the same account.
im really confused any help ?

When I linked my PS3's SEN account to my existing 1.0 SE account, I had already fully downloaded and updated the PS3 client before hand. I think that you need to update your PS3's client first, then link it to your 1.0 SE account, giving it EA. See my earlier post: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post1035624

thank you weks , you have cleared up alot here.
just double checking
1, i wait till my ps3 downloads the whole client
2, on my pc i log into the square enix website ( the square enix webiste ? or the square account management one ? as they seem seperate)
3, i log into the ps3 client and link it with the account my pc ff14 1.0 version is on.
4, i now have early access on pc aswell and will be able to update the pc phase 4 client to the full game version.

is this correct ?

I preordered the PS3 version, registered the code and selected PC for the platform. I will be playing the PC version when EA starts.

Hmm... I think I may have screwed up on this.

I pre-ordered the PS3 CE so I could get the items (I'd already purchased the 1.0 CE and had to get the PS3 one, etc).

When I applied the code, I applied it for PS3 - which seemed logical to me since that's the version I'd purchased, and the whole ordeal was based on not being able to add a second CE code to my existing account...

I applied the code, received the new code from SE (which was 12 characters long, not the 20 as reported by PC pre-orders). I logged into my Playstation Network account and applied it there (once I found where to do so, which wasn't easy). So, now the PSN account registers that I have the pre-order access, items and all this.

I linked my PSN account to my SE account, so that should be set.

Only now when I log into my SE account, while it shows that I'm registered for ARR (which happened once I successfully submitted the code from my pre-order), it says nothing anyhwhere about the Cait Sith or other pre-order bonus being applied.

So... I have no idea if it should say that, if I'm looking in the wrong place (there's so many different places to login, leading to different info...).. or what...

Did I screw something up? If so, is there a way to rectify it?

I don't understand why this process is so convoluted lol.

Registering the EA to a platform will only give EA access to that platform not both

So, I have CE from 1.0 with a legacy character but no legacy account. I preordered the PS3 version and received my EA code and downloaded my PS3 client. I also participated in all of the beta phases including the last one. During the last one, I redid my legacy character, received the 3102 on my legacy character and created a new character so I could play on a different server while they sorted the 3102 out. Now that I'm trying to get the PS3 version setup, it asks me to confirm my options and my legacy character isn't showing up in the confirmation dialogue, only my new character I made while I was having the 3102 problems is showing up. Anyone else having this problem? :confused:

Also, I'm going to be able to play in EA on both PC and PS3 correct?

Weird thing is, I see my legacy character when I'm logged in here. WTF, lol.

<---Look, there he is!

My old legacy character (before I renamed and changed sexes) shows up when I login to lodestone though. So confused.

So down the road when I get a new PS3 (currently don't have a working one), and log in, I'll be able to log in with my current account (from 1.0, etc), I'll have the pre-order items on that one... But if I log into that same account on PC... they won't be there?

They're bound to the platform, not to the account?

Oh, I get early access regardless, as I'm a Legacy player (blah blah blah).. I'm all setup and ready to go on the PC setup.

I'm just concerned about getting the bonus items heh.

why do I get this message when trying to login to early access. I have been playing FF14 since 1.0, I need to log in tell me what I need to do.

No valid or active service account is available to play FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

Proper registration through the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station is required.

* Users participating in early access must also complete registration by August 30, 2013. Using the code enclosed with your package, please complete registration through the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station.
