PS4 pre-order question and PS4 ver. question

I was wondering if my Wife was to pre-order FFXIV ARR PS4 ver. would she be able to use the pre-order bonus on her existing FFXIV account? I am buying my Wife the PS4 next month, also I heard that the PS4 is supposed to play FFXIV at the equivalent of max PC settings, is that true? right now her best PC handles 1280x720 but not at max settings.

I would like to know as well, thinking about getting a PS4 next weekend in Okinawa, tired of playing on my Macbook Pro, will I be stuck on the loading screen all day like PS3 players?

* Users who pre-ordered the Windows® or PlayStation®3 version of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn and received the Cait Sith doll minion and Moogle Cap bonus items will not receive additional bonuses for pre-ordering the PlayStation®4 version.

If you have already received a pre-order bonus you cannot get another one unless you want to make a new account all together.

well she didn't pre order the ps3/pc ver. she just upgraded to the collectors so that means if she pre orders the ps4 ver. she can get the pre order bonus (mog hat,cait sith minon) if i read and understand it correctly?

Close, but no cigar. Runs at 720p and still has a few effects turned off.

Moheeheeko info is wrong.

PS4 version is 1080p native resolution with unlocked framerate to a maximum of 60 FPS.

As I mentioned so far the quality of the visuals of the PS4 version will be basically like maximum settings on PC. The processing of the shadows is slightly different, so it’s not a complete equivalent, but the frame rate reaches 60 FPS.

As I understand it, correct.

As a side note, I believe what they're referring to is that if you pre-ordered the PS3/PC and have already applied the code for Cait Sith/Moogle Hat, using a PS4 pre-order code does not grant you anything extra.

it looks similar to max settings but it does have Occlusion Culling turned on, which leads to very annoying popins

well she never had the ps3 preorder so no codes was ever gotten we want to know if she preorders can she add the bonus from preording the ps4 ver to her existing account?

Also thanks to all who are answering about the ps4 ver vs pc. questions.

I can't see why she wouldn't be able to. My wife used my PS3 pre-order code to get her Cait Sith when the game was first released. I can't imagine why the PS4 would be any different.

Hello guys,

I saw this thread and figured to just throw in my question here as it is somewhat related.

1. For anyone who has experienced cancelling orders from Square Enix Store, can you share your experience particularly on what type of "cancellation confirmation" you received and how long did it take for the entire process to complete? I cancelled my FFXIV CE (PS4) a few hours ago and all I got was a "Thank you for submitting your request." message that has the same font colour as the background. If I was not paying attention to detail, I would think I never got any messages.

2. Today is March 18, and the PS4 version release of FFXIV ARR is on April 14, this gives me plenty of time to cancel the order as I am sure this is not yet en route. Since I cancelled today, is this an "automatic" cancelled transaction?

3. I tried calling SE Support number: 1-858-790-7529. Waited for around 15 minutes - no answer. Is the queue that bad?

Thanks in advance!

PS4 pre-order code?

My husband preordered the game for the ps4 from gamestop, but there was no preorder code on his receipt. He went back to the store and was told that there was no preorder codes to be given. So how does this work? Where will we get the code so he can get his Cait Sith doll (cuz that's what he really wants out of it)?
