Guys be aware! For early access...

[Weks]

How do you do this? Link there accounts?

Open up the game on PS3 and log in to the FFXIV service account you want to link your PSN to. It should then prompt you to link up. Follow the instructions and your PS3's SEN should be linked to your existing 1.0 account.

Here's what I did on PS3:

• I entered my redeemed PS3 pre-order code in the Playstion Store. I downloaded the FFXIV client and installed it.
• I used Internet Search and entered square-enix.com. Clicked on the SE Global link and selected my region language, which was NA (US).
• I logged into my SE service account and entered my email (that I registered with my Legacy account) and password. Go back to the FFXIV game and login.
• Read and follow the instructions. It will link your SEN account to your SE account. Next, you can link the optional pre-order digital items to your existing service account too!

Doing this will allow you to play on either platform during EA, but not both at the same time.

Is legacy only if you paid for some monthly time during 1.0?

Legacy is if you paid for three months during the legacy time frame. Go to https://secure.square-enix.com/accou...n?cont=account

Then go to services. Go to ff14 and see if there is a legacy icon next to your service account. If you don't see it, then you are not legacy. In which case, you must preorder right now to get early access. Be careful where you preorder because you might not get the preorder codes from some sellers this late.

Hi all, has it been confirmed whether or not someone with two service accounts under the same master ID that BOTH HAVE ACCESS TO PS3 will be allowed to choose either 1 or 2 to log on like it is on PC?

If you are a 1.0 player (legacy or not legacy), as long as you register you a preorder code on your account, you will be able to play on any console during early access.

If you are not a 1.0 player and only register a ps3 early access code to two services accounts, you will only be able to log into the ps3 version. In this case the only way to play on pc too is to get another early access code and select the pc platform and apply it to the service account you wish to use during early access.

Open up the game on PS3 and log in to the FFXIV service account you want to link your PSN to. It should then prompt you to link up. Follow the instructions and your PS3's SEN should be linked to your existing 1.0 account.

Here's what I did:

• I entered my redeemed PS3 pre-order code in the Playstion Store. I downloaded the FFXIV client and installed it.
• I used Internet Search and entered square-enix.com. Clicked on the SE Global link and selected my region language, which was NA (US).

• Read and follow the instructions. It will link your SEN account to your SE account. Next, you can link the optional pre-order digital items to your existing service account too!

Doing this will allow you to play on either platform during EA, but not both at the same time.

For Step 3 I am assuming you went back into ps3. Started the ff14 arr game and logged in from there. If you log into the square-enix website and log in from the website, you will not be able to link service account. You can switch language or region like you did though.

[mindful]

You just need to have the code from the ps3 version of the game and the code from the pc version of the game and you can play the game on both systems. Yet your are unable to play the same main account on the main account at the same time, if make 2 different psn accounts and/or pc accounts and/or square accounts then you can duel box or what ever, they want the money. It how people have been trio boxes on the ps2,xbox,and pc at same time on ff11. And this version of the game is to fast to duel boxes anyways so there going take the month fees. Square would be stupid not to.

Greetings,

Version 1.0 account holders that have redeemed a PS3 pre-order code for early access on their account are now eligible to play on the PC version as well!

I Posted a problem, but after reopened the launcher 30 times it randomly started working, so nvm

I was getting that same thing on my pc client even though I thought I already had the ps3 one linked to my account since I linked it in phase 4. But after going back to my ps3 today and updating the client it asked me to link it again for official service. As soon as I did that I switched back to my pc and launched it and it went straight to the patch download and now just says please wait until early access.

As a 1.0 non legacy I am set up on ps3 and pc for early access. FYI I used my preorder early access code on ps3 not pc since I already had the pc version.

I'm a Legacy Member and I was able to patch up the game well on my PC but on PS3 I get an error when use my Legacy Account. PS3 says: No valid or active service account is available to play FFXIV: A Realm Reborn.

So means I need to buy the PS3 Version to be able to play on both platforms?

Good point I fixed by first post to reflect this.

Good question. All we were promised that if we used the early access code and where from 1.0, we would be able to play on any console. No legacy member was explicitly given a ps3 code for early access so giving them access to play on the ps3 version without giving them the ps3 version probably will make the devs to have to give our more codes to every legacy player. That is probably a big hassle especially this late so they probably won't do that. The pc version on the other hand is relatively easy to find, and posted in numerous places.

So yes you need to buy the ps3 version to get early access. I recommend the psn version since it is instant download and you still get preorder items...

Do I have to re-download the client after I put my 12 digit early access code in? From what I've read it's the same client, I just need to update or log in to the phase 4 client after I put the early access code in and it links it up.

Is this correct? Because I really don't want to re-download the client again if there is no reason to.

It was stated in a previous clarification to this issue that in order to play on both PC and PS3 you would need to buy the game for both platforms. Now here's the tricky part.

IF you are a 1.0 member (you're already eligible for the PC version) now, I know quite a few that has pre-ordered the new game too on top of their original 1.0 account, what I think is going down is that:
- Should you have 2 accounts (an 1.0 and an ARR) you get to use both PC and PS3 version during Early Access instead of just the ARR version (provided you register it for PS3?).

Whether I'd count on the above.. Not a chance, it's just how I read their statement.. Honestly, it's confusing me the more I think about it..

Hi all, has it been confirmed whether or not someone with two service accounts under the same master ID that BOTH HAVE ACCESS TO PS3 will be allowed to choose either 1 or 2 to log on like it is on PC?

No, you'll be banned for trying this , kthxbai. I'm kidding - of course you can select whichever Service Account you want to use provided that you've of course linked the product-key to that account .
