I would rather get the Xpac on steam so I can have the CD key on hand somewhere besides my email, Will they put it on steam for pre order or Launch.

It's very likely, which'll be around the same time other retailer sites have it for sale.
Yeah Main reason for wanting steam edition, CD key in case something goes wrong
Better if not only exp , but 2 in 1 also (with bit higher price is fine too) to upgrade from ps3 to pc .
I'll never understand why people will choose to buy a game through Steam when it is available steam free.
For example because it is 3 times cheaper there, than directly from SE? It costs 19.99 euro on SE store, but just about 7 euro (converted from local currency) on steam.
I have a question. If I have game bought from SE, and I want to purchase expansion on steam, will I be able to use my existing character there?
Oh the expansion will be on "steam" alright. With everyone hammering the login server, errors and whatnot, players will be in steaming rage. Did i do this right? :cool:
From my understanding of other games, if you buy the game prime separate from an expansion and such, they won't work at all. The Sims being an example. I know someone that bought the main game and then bought one of the expansions separate on Steam and they couldn't use the expansion with the main game. I don't know about MMOs though.
That's going to be based on how FFXIV does expansions. For example, World of Warcraft installs ALL the game content, including expansions, whether you own them or not. If FFXIV does the same thing, then all you are purchasing on Steam is a license to play, and the game data is going to be installed regardless of where you get it.
If on the other hand, they do it like FFXI, where the data for each expansion was installed only after you purchased it, then it would not work...at least not right off the bat. Some clever moving around of files could allow it too.
The expansion will NOT be sold on Steam. PS3 limitations and gives PC players an advantage. Please look forward to it.
