PS3-PS4 transfer

Apologies if this has been posted.
Have any of you had success with using the PS3-PS4 transfer button?
I did it about a hour or so ago, did all steps and it said it was saved successfully.
However logged in to the PS4 moments ago, and yes my character is there but my hotbars i had set up along with macros and gear sets are not.
I had it set up so perfectly on PS3 :(
And yes i did transfer to PS4 from moggle station.
I am sort of dissapointed about this :(
Will remake them if i remember correctly

You need to get on the PS3 launcher screen and on the bottom right there is an option that says PS3 > PS4, that will transfer your hotbar and macros over to the PS4. You will have to select the same option on the PS4 launcher screen to upload your hotbar and macros.

Now are PS4 owners able to play the game now? Or do we have to wait until the 14th for the official launch?

If you upgrade it from PS3 version to PS4 version or preordered it.
If not, then you need to wait until the 14th

Hi Maero,

Please give this article on the Lodestone a read and it will explain how you transfer that data over. :)
(Short answer: That data (hotbars/macros/etc) is saved locally on the PS3 harddrive and must be transferred between systems manually using the new feature built into the launcher!)

oh i have used the button to transfer when on the PS3. Thanks for the reply
And Bayohne thank you for the reply as well as taking time to read my concern
I will look again but fairly certain i did not see a transfer character data option

Well see I have it for the PS3, and I know I get a free upgrade to PS4. I can start playing the full game on PS4 now? I just do the upgrade thing and I'm all set?

Some people are having problems with their upgrade codes not working. I know mine doesn't work and SE only gives you a generic response about it.

I forgot to transfer my data before I upgraded my license. I didn't think time travel was possible till now I've bent sent back to August 2013. Connection error 2002 for the last 45 mins I'm sure I'll get to enjoy the ps4 version in a few days. Cuz I'm getting pretty sick of having to log back into the launcher every 30 seconds. Gotta love launch day

It's a new button added to the launcher (where you enter your username/pass, etc.) in the bottom right corner :)

The upgrade code given from Mog Station will only produce an error if you already have downloaded the FFXIV: ARR software, and thus do not need it.
If you're receiving the error, you already have the software it is trying to download for you. More information can be found here.

Yep, that is correct! Upgrading from PS3 to PS4 will grant you early access (which is live right now) and you can continue playing as normal!

Hmm... well when I try to play the software it tells me to input some code. "Cannot launch Final Fantasy XIV: A Real Reborn. Please register the promotion code included with your package or download."

Edit: I wasn't in the PS4 beta but I don't think that should matter based on what I heard.

I'm having the same problem. When I try to launch the game it tells me to put the code in.
When I put the code in ( from the Mog sta ) it says it has been used already. I'm getting the same error code as all of ya.
Bayonne the link you are leaving above is not helping, sorry.
I followed the steps to upgrade from the ps3 to the 4. I did not participate in the beta. Can this be the problem?
Do I wait till Monday when the transfer is supposed to happen?

anyone knows if the ps4 version is 60 frame cap/1080p?

its 60 unlocked and is 1080.

I have the same problem on one of my service accounts it says to enter the promo code that came with the game and for me I did and psn took it. Said everything was fine and downloaded the software. Go to launce same issue. Goes to launch the game and keeps giving me the same error. Can play on pc fine. Cannot play on ps4 on one of my service accounts. I opened a ticket with SE and was told they do not work on this sort of problem via email and was asked to call. I called and was told this is not something they can fix over the phone. lol

The code is just to download the software, so pay that no mind for now. It will not grant you play rights.

Just to confirm: You have registered a PS3 copy of FFXIV, went to the Mog Station, did the upgrade, and tried to play and are getting the error? Are you on the correct PSN account that you registered your FFXIV on?

Ignore the Beta 2 - have you already downloaded the FFXIV: ARR game from the PS4 PlayStation Store? Lots of people downloaded it because it was free, so if you have, that's why you'll get a "this has been used" error (because you already have it). If you upgraded from PS3 on Mog Station, then are you using the correct PSN account? It must be the same as you used on PS3, for it to recognize you have the rights to play.

Edit: Nvm, found it.

You should work for SE. You just helped me figure out my own stupidity. I have two e-mails that look identical except for the last mail.com and I was using the wrong one. It seems fine now and is preparing the first-time setup. I thank you for helping!

Is there any way to use more than one account on the PS4, without buying the game yet again? I hope I'm just being stupid and overlooking something. Surely they wouldn't lock it to a single account, that's ridiculous.

Thx Ainiwaffles ( luv the name! ) I did have a different PSN account on my ps4. I started a second user on my ps4 and added the old account.
I'm loading as I type this. Thx again!!! Ya should work for SE. I did not see that you must keep the PSN account you started with anywhere in the SE instructions to upgrade ( good onya mate! )
Nanaya: do what I did. Second user, add your old PSN account to it and save it. You will have two accounts, two users. But it's working for me. Good luck.

A bit off topic but I was wondering: to get the additional items of the PS4 collector's edition version (wind up moogle, fat choco) is the ONLY WAY to register the code directly from within the PS4 menus?
I do own a copy of FFXIV for PS4, but I do not own a PS4 yet (gonna buy it later this year) but I wanted to use the codes already on my account :(

I have a quick question , when i but the digital version on psn on pS4 tomorrow , will i get thé 30days free ?

I see that you played already since 2011
If you have a CE account you get the new CE items automatic
If you have a normal account you can upgrade it in the Mogstation to a CE account.

Have you relog? Once you relog you should have 2 letter in your moogle mail.

Thanks for your reply Felis but there has been a misunderstanding ^^
I do own a PC 1.0 CE edition, a PS3 ARR CE edition and I also do own a PS4 CE edition.
The PS4 CE edition has all the items of the past version PLUS two additional ones.
I'm interested in these 2 additional ones and that's why I was asking if the only way to register that code is FROM WITHIN the PS4 or if I can do it somewhere else (on the web, for instance).
Why? Simple, I currently do not own a PS4 (console) and I'm not gonna buy one until the end of the year, while instead I currently play FFXIV on the PC and would love to get those 2 additional items already ^^

You don't even need the ps4 CE to get those as long as you already had either the pc or PS3 CE already. Everyone with a previous CE will get the new ps4 CE bonuses without needing to purchase the ps4 version.

This is what I did.... played the beta on ps4 sunday. Loved iit so much I went and borrowed a ps3 went to game stop traded in a bunch of old stuff.. bought a 50 dollar pan card... downloaded the game. Not realizing I could a upgraded to CE for 10 more.(on psn. Store) so I linked the 30 days free with my beta version. Then upgraded on the mog station for 20 bucks to a CE account.... got me items :) then when the early access to ps4 went live Friday I switched. I already had ff downloaded on ps4 so when I went to enter the code it said it was alreadyb used... then my common sense kicked in after 5 min of freaking out :) and thought wait Ita just a download... my square Enix account is what activates ps4 use. Hope this story helps any new readers

That's all good, but if your using a PS Vita with a different account you can't add or change psn on Vita can you? My ps4 account is same as my vita, but ps3 has different psn for ff14.. soo how do I fix? When logging in it says account is linked to a different psn.
