(SG)How can I obtain a PS4 copy of FFXIV:ARR?

Hi,

I have looked through the forum and could not find an answer so I decided to open a thread. I've been trying to get a PS4 copy but wasn't able to find one in any shop. I managed to book one from Qisahn, but found out it was an R1 copy. The guy there helped me check if I could play on an EU account with the NA copy and came across this thread:

I figured I should give it a try, but ended up I couldn't register the code since the registration key format was different. I have also tried to buy the game off PS Store but was not able to. The site would require me to log in, then redirect me to the SGD-EN site which says the site is invalid.

I considered getting the PS3 version then upgrade the version online, but the upgrading period is over.

Really hope someone can help me with my predicament. Currently I am playing on PC version but hoping I could get the PS4 version.

Have you tried purchasing it on the PSN Store? Although in that case it would be a digital download version instead of a physical copy, it's still better than nothing.

Another alternative is to try SE's European store which sells the game as well, but again I'm not sure if they sell digital only versions or physical editions (the only time I used it was for a digital download).

I don't see any links that allows me to get the digital download for PS4. Only offers PC download or physical copy for PS4..

I'm in the US, so don't have direct experience with trying to register though an EU account, but going by how it's listed on the box, I don't think it matters for PS4. I got the boxed versions for both PS3 and PS4. The box for the PS3 version labels the region as "1", but the box for PS4 labels the region as "ALL". I don't think there is such a thing as a Region 1 PS4 copy.

(In fact, every PS4 game I have lists "ALL" for the region, and I remember hearing back when PS4 was first coming out that it doesn't really do regions like earlier console generations do. I don't remember where I heard that, so can't vouch for certain whether that was solid info or a rumor, but seeing "ALL" listed on all the games seems to support it.)

Where did you try to register it? With the PC version being registered through Mog Station, I've heard other people going from PC to PS3/4 trying to go there for the console versions as well, which won't work. PS3 and PS4 versions are registered on the console itself, through Sony's PlayStation Store. (Go to the PlayStation Store from your PS4 console, and select "Redeem Codes".)

I'm not sure what you mean by "site" since it's not something you do on the web. (It requires an internet connection of course, and you have to be logged into the PlayStation Network, but it's from the built in software of the console and no browser involved, so it's not like a website.) Go on your PS4 and enter the PlayStation Store from there.

That's because console downloads have to be done on the console. You can't download console versions from a website because you can't download them on a computer.

Link your EU PSN account to your mogstation account. Then register the game through PSN.

Everything is done on the PSN and PS4. You shouldn't be using the mogstation at all.

SE doesn't sell the game to SEA countries so you won't find the game on the SG PSN store. You can't even register a mogstation account under any SEA countries. Don't ask me why SE decided to entirely ignore an entire region and not allow them to buy or register an account properly. There is absolutely no sense in that but they still do it.

Make a UK email address. Then make a UK psn account. The downside would be that you have to order UK psn wallet codes and that you can't play the game on your excising account. I used to have a NOrth American Xbox account to benefit from the NA features that were not released in the Eu till this day. Can't confirm if it still works. If not you'll have to tinker with a proxy but that gives lagg in it's turn.

I tried to register in Playstation Store on my console, but I got notified that the code was invalid. I then tried to access SEN's website to register the game(figured, I could do it through PC which would link the game to my system so that I could start playing) but it appears that EU registration key starts with letters and final characters are numbers, while my NA key is an alphanumeric jumble.

Since I cannot use the copy I bought, I thought I would get a digital version off the UK Playstation Store site. Figured after paying for the digital copy, I would be given a code for me to input at the Playstation Store on my console which would start the download. Like getting a timecard from a retail store for the code to input on my console.

Are you using an EU PSN account?

The game should be available straight from the PSN Store on your console, not involving any websites at all.
