Guys be aware! For early access...

[Kirito]

A thing is not clear for me: I will play from the PC, my friend will play on PS3... Can he create the character on the same server of mine and play together?

yes you can as long as there is room on server

Soo there is no way to confirm you have done the pre order steps right or that it took. I have gotten no emails after doing my 20 digit code process. Cant create a new thread due to this lame message New thread cannot be created due to either you have reached to your daily limit or your main character's level is not high enough.

you cannot check normally. We won't be able to check till the release date. The only way to see it is if you add another permanent option to your account. So you would need another preorder code and try to add it to you account.

I want to know How to check my EA was register complete to my account.
Who know please tell me.
Thank you very much.

If you can log in to the game launcher and download the game, you probably have early access. People with 1.0 accounts but without early access say they cannot log in, that's why I think only people with early access can log in. So that is how you can check for now.

Here's a crappy photo of the PS3 registration process as requested: http://i.imgur.com/lPKoAOA.jpg

Their system clearly differentiates between PS3 and PC. Don't count on being able to log in to PC early access if you only have PS3 early access and vice versa.

So long as registration is not closed for the server, yes. Everyone plays on the same servers regardless of platform.

This is the impression i was given and is why i decided to pre-order the ps3 collectors edition instead of the PC version.

I thought this as well, but I don't remember them explicitly saying it and I saw the two permanent options for preorder and have the console names. If you are legacy and registered the ps3 code then there will of course be no problem but if you only have one early access code and you are not legacy then there might be an issue. I am just saying for what I observed and every permanent option in our SE account has a purpose. If they have a permanent option called "final fantasy xiv a realm reborn preorder PC" or "final fantasy xiv a realm reborn preorder ps3" with the in game items below them, there must be some sort of purpose or they would just call them "final fantasy xiv a realm reborn preorder"

[Kirito]

So you're saying that if I redeemed my EA code from my ps3 order yet have my PC client updated (launcher update is ready today for those who haven't checked) and link my psn I'd to my SE account...I could participate in EA on either system?

If you are legacy, which you probably are. Then yes.

Do you have proof?

The burden of proof is on you, Kirito.

Can't believe I have to do this...

Will I be able to play the Windows version and the PlayStation 3 version with a single service account?

Yes, you can play the Windows version and the PlayStation 3 version with the same service account. However, you will need to purchase a copy of both versions and register the registration codes accordingly.
* Please note that you cannot play both versions simultaneously if you register both products under the same service account. If you wish to play simultaneously, please be sure to register them under different service accounts.

Omg!!! I can't wait.

So will we need to buy a pc and a ps3 copy for the official release of the game if we want to play on both? Or will I only have to buy one copy since I already have both clients installed?

[Nayto]

Yup can confirm it. Won't allow me to even update PC client anymore.

If your a 1.0 or legacy player all you need to do is buy the Ps3 version. If not, then the answer is yes (even though you installed the client, you technically haven't payed for it's service yet (The actual game))

I am sorry but they are referring to the release version and to service account. Service accounts are the area where you keep your permanent options. They say you need to register both versions of the full game because you need a pc permanent option and a ps3 permanent option. They have to be able to work on the same service account for a player to use his character on ps3 and on pc. You can have a service account but without the ps3 permanent option, you cannot log into your character.
