Early Access & Account issues (PS3)

[Riougenkaku]

PSN is up

code still doesnt work....

ahh this is frustrating...

[sschafi1]

Just tried my code again as well. Still not working. C'mon SE, at least give us PS3 users some sort of update.

Even their Twitter account has been silent since yesterday

This is whats going on
The point that most people are making is that, this isn't occuring even after we link the accounts. I've launched the PS3 version, gone through the whole linking process, watched as the mog cap and cait sith minion was manually added to my 1.0 service account that included the Windows version, the windows beta, and the PS3 beta, and yet I still can only log into the Ps3 version and not the PC version. Using the same credentials for each version, I get a completely different message(wait until EA or no active service account).


A MONTH AGO:

player asked:
Let's say I bought the old game, and never received Legacy status. If I want to get early access on the PC, all I have to do is pre-order a copy of the new version right? If I buy the PS3 version instead, does that mean I have to play on PS3 during the early access period?

MOD hvinire responded:

As long as you pre-order, the PS3 version can be linked to your pre-existing FFXIV account to play early on the PC version.

This will also allow you to play on either the PS3 or PC with the same service account. However, you won't be able to log in with both at the same time. As long as this isn't a problem, you should be fine purchasing the PS3 version.

this is why i bought ps3 ea so i could play my 1.0 on pc at ea

MAKE IT HAPPEN SE
your mod said so.

You are right on. This is pretty bogus. But honestly, at this point, after every error number and bad code and waiting on hold to talk to SE and ticket numbers, I'm just glad to be set up to play on something! I'd settle for bootlegging it to a 3rd generation iPod at this point.

I now have 3 emails from SE confirming that I registered my pre-order code, each one giving me a broken key. The code in each of the emails is the same.

Two of my address are from El Segundo, CA and one is from London, but all the codes are the same. The code originally came from the email with the London address.

Now, the PSN is done with maintenance... and my codes still don't work. I sent in a ticket last night, but I'm about to give up hope that customer service will be able to help me before Saturday, due to the sheer amount of people having trouble. I'm happy I'll have the CE, and the game will launch on Tuesday, but I really wanted to play this weekend, when I have more time to devote.

It makes me sad about all these errors with codes. The game is amazing and is going to be tarnished with people's frustration about getting into phase 4 and early access.

I've made this post on the other thread too but I'll post it here too anyways.
I came across this workaround. Has anyone given this a try?
I'm planning to give it a go once I get back home from work.

So here's my question: If I do this and it's successful, does that mean that after the official release I can go back to my old PSN account to play or am I stuck playing on the EU account forever????

According to the instructions, you are going back to whatever original account you normally use.
This is running under the assumption that the account binding process happens when you launch the client, not when you put in the redemption code and download it.
Basically IF this works, you will be able to use your NA account.
