PSN Technicial Difficulties

When is it going to be resolved and when can I get logged into the PS4? I want to play so badly. Please let me know

You're in the very wrong place, its a Playstation issue not SE. You need to ask that over at the Playstation forum.

I'm having the same issue with the launcher. I tried loading several other games which booted up just fine. I'm getting a black screen after selecting it from the menu on PS4.

This is another page that you can use to find out more info... has links to their twitter and such:

They show it has been down most of the day so far, but starting to come up in some areas in the last few minutes.

I'm logged into psn right now, the only problem I'm having is loading this game specifically. Every other game is working just fine.

Well, I just did a connection test, and when it logged me out it didn't sign me back in on PS4. Strangely enough I can log in on PS3 and access everything but online gaming...

What I'm wondering is how they took ps4 down but the ps3 servers are still working. Just tried logging in there and it worked. Also got on Destiny to make sure it was working. Don't have this game on PS3 or I'd try it :(

I played for a bit in the afternoon on the 24th. But the password page has been inaccessible for all of Christmas day. This problem was allll day! I think PSN and S/E could say a bit more about the prospects of a solution. Maybe these big companies are scrunching their shoulders thinking, "hope our services will work tomorrow, maybe not." That's what it seems like anyways.
I hope the criminals involved are found and sued for damages. The defacement of Sony and Microsoft, as well as the companies connected to them on Christmas. Do not pass go, jail.

brutal, woke up this morning for work, logged in, it worked. Came home later and my power save function on the PS4 had logged me out.. try to re-log, it's blocked again. My virtual plants are gonna die!! Which is a funny thing to be concerned about, but for realz, this sucks.

I understand PSN is down and all, which is is annoying because of the hackers.

Why is PS3 & PS4 required to be signed on PSN account in order for us to start up FFXIV? Can't Square just patch this and let us just open up the game on PS3 or PS4 and just let us do our usual login process. I don't see why we need be on PSN in order for us to launch the game and and allow to login to our accounts and play the game.

If someone can explain this, it would be greatly appreciated because I am thinking of just switching to pc ver. or just quit the game in general for this issue.

Thanks and Regards,

Licensing issue between SE and Sony. People had similar issues with the PS2 ad DNAS for FFXI back in the day. Nothing new for people that played that game on console, but I can see how it could be frustrating for new people to SE's online offerings. Sony has had a lot of issues since PS4 launched, it's not just FFXIV that has been impacted. Then these circle-jerks that want to attack the networks are just making it worse. It's even impacting other services that happen to be depending on the same network hubs as well.

Best bet if you want to avoid it all-together is to go the PC route... but some may not want (or can't) afford the investment. If it is an option though, may be worth considering.

Is there a by pass to play FFXIV on PS4 with PSN being down?

Ya stayed logged in and keep a eye on the forms if you see or hear about the PSN going down, don't log out... if not it may be fine.. iv been logged in XIV for 2days now on my PS4.... and I'm not logging out till ppl can get back on ^^

Even if the PSN go down you wont get kicked off game, as long as you're power and Net stay on lol

Oh my, now when I fail to connect to PSN i get a new message, "Sony Entertainment Network is currently undergoing maintenance." instead of a bunch of troubleshooting nonsense.
