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.
Will the new expansion be on steam?

It's very likely, which'll be around the same time other retailer sites have it for sale.

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.

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:

02-20-2015, 09:01 PMFailiaFrom 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.Quote:

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.Quote:

The expansion will NOT be sold on Steam. PS3 limitations and gives PC players an advantage. Please look forward to it.
