On the PC version yes, on the ps3 version, it's a preorder from psn sotre, so no, but it clearly says early access here "PlayStation Network" > "Account Management" > "Transaction Management" > "Services List"

Can you put in a PS3 preorder code into the Preorder code website? The reason I'm asking that is because maybe that's what you need to do. The people who put in their preorder codes in that site aren't getting that "No Account" message on the platforms that they put them in on, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ordering via SEN/PSN you don't get a code to enter.

Yeah i know, but the digital pre order for ps3 don't have the code, because it's bundled to the order, so i think it's and error between sony and SE, we have to wait until the psn Maintenance end.

I wouldn't count on it. My buddy just did the exact same thing as me (both preordered through PSN) and he got the please wait for early access message whereas I got the No service account message. Both pre orderred through PSN both have early access in our service list both checked at the exact same time

To be clear, when you pre-order the game from a retailer, you get an 18-digit pre-order code. You enter this code in the pre-order website and if you are claiming a PC pre-order, you get a 20-digit code to apply in your Square-Enix account management website. If you are claiming a PS3 pre-order, you get a 12-digit code to redeem via the playstation network.

When you redeem the PSN code, it downloads the FFXIV:ARR client. Upon running the client for the first time, it forces you to setup an account. You may either link your PSN account to an existing Square-Enix account (as most 1.0 people will be doing), or you can create a new account.

Given this quote: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...l=1#post996799

It seems pretty obvious that most 1.0 non-legacy people who own a PS3, and who want early access, will purchase a PS3 version to obtain that early access, and will want to be able to play on either platform, as promised.

That makes is just as obvious that having it NOT work on either platform is a breach of trust, and tantamount to false advertising. The continued silence of the Square-Enix company only makes the matter worse, since we can only speculate if this is an intentional decision, or a fault in their system.
