I have been playing FFXIV on the PC since launch. My husband now wants to try and I am having issues accessing the "demo" that I downloaded for him off the PSN store. It keeps telling me that he needs to purchase it to play. Can someone walk me through this please? I made a SE account for him but they want a redemption code, and when we purchased the "demo" the emailed receipt didn't come with anything. I am so confused...
Which region PSN store did you download the free trial from? If its from the NA store, you have to launch the game within your US PSN account. I had the same problem when i tried to launch the game using my PSN Asia account, where it asked me to key in a code.
You just have to switch back to the profile/account(US/JP/Asia/EU PSN?) that you originally downloaded the free trial from.
It should all be US because I don't even know how to change all that. It all installed on his account but there is a lock on it and it will direct us right to the PSN Store to buy the full game.
Bump still looking for help =[
Nevermind for those who are looking for the solution to the lock on their ps4 free trial demo, after talking to a psn rep all you have to do is restore your licenses for the games in your settings. After we did that the lock disappeared and I was able to access the demo. Everything is working fine now.
Sorry i couldn't be much of a help. Nice to see that its working for you now, hope your hubby enjoys the game 8)
