I know that come April we will be able to upgrade, but will this special upgrade have to be done within a certain amount of time?
That is, will i lose the chance to upgrade for free if i dont upgrade before May? (just an example)

If it doesn't get answered directly here, make sure to ask it in the thread for the upcoming Live Producer Letter, or try Reddit even as there is a SE Community Rep that posts there.

If the upgrade is done through PSN and re-calibrated for the PS4 from the PS3, then I wouldn't think so. None of the other upgrades are timed. Its kinda hard to say for sure since FFXIV's actual service is first party and PSN distribution is 3rd Party in relation. So really it depends on where the upgrade is from. If the upgrade is from the use of the PSN's system to upgrade a PS3 game to a PS4 game, then I can see it being free with no time limit as MMOs are Free to Play by PSN's standards. If the service needs the upgrade is through SE, then maybe there is a time limit.

bump for an answer.
im a ps3 player that will eventually get a ps4 but im a little gun shy about buying consoles when they first come out (issues, light of death, etc.). would be nice to know if i upgrade after a year that the option for a free transfer is still viable. -

It seems to be a "Transfer service" so it should be around in 1 year and longer i don't really know
Please be aware that after transferring to the PlayStation®4 you will be unable to play the PlayStation®3 version using your existing copy
Cause of this and not knowing if or when my ps4 might fail, I'll just get a ps4 version i wanted to get the CE from gamestop not the online store...
I want to know if someone does the free upgrade/transfer how would they be able to play on ps3 again buy another ps3 game/code or something? -

I hope that they will give us some detailed information for this. I mean, im sure it's as simple as downloading the fullscale PS4 app, linking it with your SE account, and deleting the PS3 one, but i wanna be sure before i accidentally kill Shyzune.

There are already some details in SE's PS4 Beta Test Overview article. It sounds like people should be using the same Sony account for both PS3 and PS4.
As for the PS3 to PS4 transfer, I agree more clarification is needed about whether it will be offered after the one-time April 11 transfer. I can see people playing on a PS3 now and not buying a PS4 until after that transfer date.
But to repeat and be clear, the transfer service is only for if you have only a PS3 registration before, and only want a PS4 registration after. (The capability to play on PS3 goes away with the transfer.) If you want both options for login, SE says to buy a PS4 copy of the game and add its registration to your existing service account. -
