And to add, if you don't already own a PS4 copy of the base game you'll need that too.

if you only buy 1 heavensward you will only be able to access those areas on the pc or console which u brought, you only need to buy 1 collectors edition tho so can just buy a cheap standard edition for the other platform

Greetings,

I am sure there are still questions pertaining to Heavensward. We’re currently preparing to announce additional information through our special Heavensward site.

Additionally, as mentioned in the topics, we’ll be broadcasting the Letter from the Producer LIVE Special Edition on March 14, 2015 at 3:00 a.m. (PDT).

During the broadcast we’ll be introducing the Heavensward packages, as well as answering various questions.

Please look forward to it!

I know a picture is worth a 1000 words they say but; I really do like to be able to understand the meaning behind the pictures and not have anyone there to translate to English till later hurts more than it helps. If anything I can very much appreciate why there isn't a translator there right away but what has been done in the past is a community manager post the question and answers in pseudo real time. Are we getting that this time around to go by? Much obliged Grekumah thanks for your hard work on the community team.

I hope you will CLEARLY say how to play Heavensward on 2 or more platforms at the Live Letter (since i Play both PC and PS4), if I have to buy two versions, I'll definitively going PS4 physical and PC digital, but I'm still hoping for one license for all systems...

This. This right here is the question I want answered the most. Me and my partner both play the game and switch between the PC and PS4 version. We're really hoping that we don't have to buy 4 copies of the expansion.

Well the lodestone says the live letter will be in japanese only so not sure how much we will learn from that. 5am for me in japanese. Well at least by time I wake up someone will have translated the info by then.

ITT: SE Rep provides a HUGE reason that live letters should be live translated... Then ignored the NA/EU concern that needed info is going to be delivered at the same time, in the same detail, as their JP counterparts.

I wouldn't be worried about that. Access to heavensward is an unlock attached to your account, it's not something you download. They would have to go out of their way to make it so that it wasn't available on multiple platforms at once, and they just aren't going to do that.

Why?

The live letter's contents are translated live by the community and then later by the community managers who post here (presumably after verifying that their translation is accurate).

Getting the same information a few hours earlier doesn't change what the information is or what you can do with it in this context.

Well then, it's not a "live" letter provided by SE themselves for the majority of the player base, is it? SE should just call it like it is. It is a letter aimed only at the Japanese player base.

If you and your partner just use one PC and one PS4 between you then you only need one copy for your PC and one copy for your PS4. As long as you load the game, anyone can log into it.

And actually I have one copy and I loaded it on three PC's that I was using.

Wrong, every PS4 license tie to a single PSN users, so you cannot use 2 different Square Enix Account on same PS4 (only master profile can activate FF14 accordingly to some friend experience)

This. I have 5(? I think..) copies of FFXIV. My GF and I play on PS3, PS4, and PC. I didn't buy her a copy on the PS3, and if I accidentally launch FFXIV on her PS3 account we get an error that she has not registered FFXIV on the account yet.

That being said, I'm under the impression that whoever posted you need a copy per platform, is most likely wrong. I believe that the expansion will register much like a CE. Once it's on the account, it's unlocked. Otherwise you run into weird situations such as : I buy the Physical CE for heavensward on PS4. I race change to Au Ra, and log out in the Dravnian Hinterlands.

I log out on the PS4.

I log in on my PC.

What just happened? I'm unable to log in with that character on PC anymore? It restores my character data to what it was before I race changed and puts me back in whatever zone I was in at the time of the character data save?

I would see more problems coming out of that than the extra cash they get from double charging. I could be wrong . . . I've been meaning to verify what FFXI did. Somebody previously stated in an old thread that FFXI worked the way I'm suggesting. when I was on FFXI it was PS2 only so I'm not sure.

Which means that History, and precedence, tells me that this person is most likely completely incorrect.

Similar to how we have done Letters from the Producer LIVE in the past, we will be covering the information discussed during the show on the forums in English. Please keep your eye on the Dev Tracker for an official thread.

I'm confused by your answer. Does this mean you'll be posting the information real time as the event occurs or after the event has conclude as has been done in the past?

I have to admit I don't actually know about ps3 or ps4. But if you need to buy a physical copy of the game for each person in your household that plays on ps4, that would suck.

The previous ones seemed to take a few weeks to get translated...

The special edition of the Letter from the Producer LIVE is focused entirely on revealing information on the different Heavensward packages available, pre-order bonuses and Collector’s Edition details. We’ll be gathering some questions and answering them during the show, but the vast majority of the show is focused on that content. We’ll be posting translated information about what’s being discussed as it happens, and the presentation shown will feature English text. Afterwards, we’ll go through the gathered Q&A and translate and post the relevant ones.

Hope that clears it up!

why cant we get a live translation? maybe a rep per region who translates per language. It really sucks we have to wait a month to get he videos with sub titles. Im sure other countrys would love this too. if reinhart could do it why cant someone paid by SE do it? seems kinda silly.
