I should be able to play on any platform I like.

it's funny actually, with FFXI after you registered a code you could play on any console/pc as long as you had the client installed. i thought ARR would be like this too so since i got the PS3 version i didn't think i'd have to "add platform" an i could give my code away... i was wrong :x

Yet PC users will be getting the new build for free! XD

It's a cruel world :P

I had similar thoughts... wishing I could just download the client on PS3 and play.

But can't you just download the PC client without need to purchase it?? So someone who buys the PS3 version can play both versions, right?

Nope they ask for a PC registration key when you try to set it up.

one message for you

If the PS4 was going to be your console of choice to play FFXIV on, you should of waited for that release instead of buying it now. no one told you to buy it right now. its like if I buy a hot dog somewhere and a few hrs later I get hungry again, do you really think this new hot dog place is going to give me this one for free? its the same exact thing and all but the answer is no. kids demanding stuff these days.....

Yeah let me sit on my ass until some time in 2014.... Anyways this isn't about my console of choice, its about being able to play on any platform I like when I purchase the game learn to read.

Players who bought it on PS3 will be able to play it on PS4 for free. Not sure what the complaint is about?

lolwut?

Source?

Well I always assumed that meant PS3 players wouldn't have to purchase the PS4 copy, what else could it mean?

It could mean exactly what it says? That PS3 users will be able to transfer their character data to the PS4 version?

I don't understand this thread... It has not been specified if you have to buy the PS4 version yet and you are already upset that you have to buy it... If you though you had to buy the PS4 version... you could have WAITED and just bough the Ps3 or PC version, or hey even better you might decide you wont like the game and then you WON'T have to buy the PS4 version. As I see it NO ONE is putting a gun to any of us to play this or any console GAME. And If you feel entitled to get the PS4 version for free... Why don't contact SE after they release the game and then complain directly to them instead of making a thread and just acting angry at other players point of view on your OWN situation?

If people have a PS3 and a PS Vita, they would need to buy the games for both systems if they want to play on both. This is not something that's going to change. Different system requires you to buy a different version of the game. I would hope that SE offers a discounted price for the PS4 version if you already own the PS3 version, but I'm not holding my breath.

FOR ALL YOU COMPLAINING

I bought both PS3 and PC!

When I applied PC version, I got 30 days free, bringing my total to 33 days left (at the time).

The next day my PS3 version arrived at ShameStop. When I went to apply it, I was given 30 more days free time, extending my playtime to 63 days.

Worst comes to worst, you pay 30 bucks to play on PS4, and you get 30 more days free subscription. There are rumors you can "upgrade" to PS4 version for free or for 10$. Both numbers have been thrown about for months. We don't know yet, but I mean, 30 $ to play on a higher end platform and 30 more days free...
