Can Link PS3 to Service account now (UK)

Just linked my pre-order PS3 client with my 1.0 characters service account. All went smoothly and all items correctly registered. Also there is another 1827MB Download for PS3 which is quite a lot. I'm sure PC updater will get this in a bit.

Can confirm this, I'm already downloading the extra bit.

Good to hear, when it asks you to link to a service account is it just the service account name or is there any other indication of items already on those service accounts.?As a way to differentiate between multiple service accounts.

I think the last time I tried to link my service account, it just made a second service account. Hoping this doesn't cause any issues down the road. I have little reason to believe it will.

EDIT: Can't post any more today.

Not to be cynical, but how do you all know it's working? When I applied my PS3 beta code in phase 4, it listed all my 1.0 items and accounts yet it still created a second service account. Not saying I don't believe you all, just curious as to what indications that it went through correctly.

Short answer yes.

Works just like applying the PC code; Shows what's already applied to every service account. (CE, Legacy etc)

I would like to know if my ps3 and legacy accounts are on the same service account but I don't see any way to check

It asks you to link accounts then you put in your service account Username, password and one time password if you have one. Then for me it showed my service account called FFXIV and all the serviced and items currently registered to it, which included legacy items, collectors edition 1.0 and 2.0 items. Then just clicked next and it shows its going to add moogle cap and cait sith minion and early access for pc and ps3.

Just linked my PS3 account to my 1.0 Legacy account. Worked perfectly. Really happy, now my 1.0 char will get the Moogle hat. :D

I too have successfully linked my PS3 pre-order to my Legacy PC account with no problems.

I just linked my account as well, is there any way to add a second service account to a psn id though? I have 2 accounts and it is just grayed out when I try to change my username.

All done smoothly! Definately the most stress free part of the whole preorder experience! thank you OP for highlighting this.

If it is like during the beta4:
1. start the launcher on the PS3
2. Login to your SE account
3. Choose the service account you want to use with your PSN account
4. gratulation, your FF XIV service account and your PSN account are now linked together

I think that was only during the beta phases.

I think the PS3 early access code is linked to your PSN account and not your service account. So when you link the PSN account with a service account they are locked to each other, or so I assume. No clue how PS3 retail codes will work (If it's a PSN code or an SE code).

I can't download the patch it seems. When I log in it says that I don't have service or a validation -_-

Can confirm I just linked my preorder stuff to my phase 4 character account and I'm not legacy

Yep I also linked my accounts earlier today, very smooth.

Anyone perhaps know if we have access to login via the PC for Early Access now our accounts are linked? When I try it says no valid service account via the PC launcher.

Thanks for the heads up, I was able to link my PS3 early access client to my legacy 1.0 account without problem.

The PS3 client is now updating with a 1827mb patch :)

I'm getting the same thing with my NA account. I am positive that I linked the two also as it added items to my account. We should be able to as the community team told us that it was possible after linking the accounts. Bumping for an answer hopefully.

account linked to my ps3 as well squeeeeeeeee

Bit worried cause I just linked the pre-order items to a new service account. Basically I went to link the 2 and it showed the character I created while NA/EU servers were down so I went to create new to see if it would list my levelled character, pressed next thinking it wouldn't end the process and it created a new service account. I don't mind about the items cause I didn't really care for them anyway however I do want to play during Early Access. Do you think it'll work seeing as the early access is linked to my PSN ID or does it link to both PSN and service account?

Thanks for this, I was able to do the same in the NA region.

Has anyone been able to successfully log in (and not get the screen that says no valid account) with their PC account after linking their PS3 account with early access?

You can only link one PSN account to your SE account. You'll need to create another PSN account if you want to link a second SE account.

Please note that only one Sony Entertainment Network account can be linked to a Square Enix account, which allows up to eight service accounts.

Working here as well. Although a random character I made on another server was showing under option rather than my main, probably doesn't matter just interesting.

I just linked my account but there was no 1.8gb file to download? Just said i couldn't play till early access.

same as above, linked account, showed all my subscriptions on the service account i wanted, then went straight to cannot play till early access or release.

also, anyone know if you can check your services through your actual account, i remember seeing services like alpha, beta access on my account, but now i dont see any of those, and havent for a while, not just since beta finished.

When I went to link my account on ps3, under the option for character it had another character that wasn't my main, anyway to change it so its my main, or maybe it doesn't matter? Just want to make sure I do it right and not like lock my main out of EA.

Those of you saying it didn't update, were you launching from the Beta 4 client? If so, there wouldn't be an update. The 1.8GB is the update you had to apply before that beta.

No I downloaded the full client yesterday with my pre-order code, ive never played PS3 beta. The extra 1.8GB download appeared today after account linking was complete.

Linked the PS3 Account to my 1.0 CE legacy Se Account (what a name) and got the 1.86gb update. It listed the FFXIV PC version CE and every item like the behemoth thing etc. But not the PS3 version only PC (which i dont mind because im gonna be on PC) but this sort of shows that it does not matter because as long as it is in your SE Account you can play on whichever you want just not at the same time.

Just successfully linked my SE Service Account to my PSN account (NA Region). I only had one service account so I didn't have any confusion on which one to pick, which always seems to wind up being a plus in these situations X3

Can't create a thread as my level isn't high enough (fantastic way to prevent troll threads so I don't mind) but wanted to let people know that if you are on PS3 and your service account doesn't list your main character, do NOT create a new service account. There are surprisingly little steps to create a new one and there is no "finish" button simply a "next" button that finalises it and prevents you from playing early access on your main. Had to call SE and they seem to be working on switching the 2 over but hopefully it wont take too long and go into early access. You can still apply the game code to your beta service account on official launch but to switch pre-order codes isn't very easy at all!

It says no valid account... what is wrong?

Edit: can anyone help please?

Same here! A little worried but as they are all under the same account and bonus items apply to all account characters, I think it should be okay. They might just show the last character that was created there.

I hastily redeemed the PC pre-order code instead of the PS3, so I'll have to wait until my CE arrives >.>

Just asking though, as I do not want to make mistakes on this matter (and deal with it swiftly without headaches when the time arrives lol).

Is the PS3 pre-order code 12 Digits ? Do you input it in the 'Redeem Codes' in the PS Store ?
How does it ask you to link your 1.0 account ? Do you simply put your 1.0 ID and Password to link it?

I'm asking these because I'm guessing the CE Code will work similar to the pre-order code.

I'll be keeping tabs on this thread for the day my CE code arrives xD

Thanks and sorry for the amount of newbie-like questions I asked. /bow
