[NA] [PS3 Version] Version Update Issue (Aug. 15)
Right now we are experiencing technical difficulties on North American PlayStation®3 version where an error message saying "No valid service account is available to play FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn." when players press the login button on the launcher and they are unable to complete the version update.

We are currently addressing this issue with a cooperation of Sony Computer Entertainment and new updates will follow as additional information becomes available.

Please note that this issue is only occurring on the North American PlayStation®3 version. The Windows version, and Japanese/European PlayStation®3 version, are unaffected.

We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.


Apparently the PS3's game servers weren't available yet, and therefore nobody could link their PSN accounts with their SE accounts.

Should also note that the Playstation servers will be down for maintenance in half an hour.
That was for the issue before beta phase 4 begins (Aug 15) and that issue was solved.
Ther're nothing to do with that announcement now.
