Expansion Question

[Shougun]

I imagine that you would need to buy the Sony version, unless SE worked out a good contract, as I doubt they'll see it as just a patch especially since it is being sold as a separate piece. Also SE may just have an agreement to pay per content update (regardless of delivery)... perhaps they wouldn't care how it is sold then. It isn't known, but I have faith Sony is getting something and if I had to make a plan without having more information I'd work it around Sony.

Hopefully SE can do something that isn't complicated or annoying as buying the expansion twice.

The answer is probably yes because you have to buy 2 copies of the game if you want to play in pc and ps4

[Katsaria]

If it operates anything like XI then yes you will have to purchase it on both systems.

Never had to do this with XI. Owned two accounts and only ever bought for the PS2. Once activated there, it let me log in and patch on the PC with only buying one copy, even expansions.

[Zplinter]

Technically speaking what they can do it if they want you to buy a copy for both: You buy the pc upgrade and your ps4 will not have access to the toons that have been "used" in the new areas. I am NOT saying that they are, but it is a fairly simple coding to have it not even display "enhanced" toons on a non-"enhanced" client.

We understand that there are plenty of questions that have gone unanswered about Heavensward. And believe us, we want to tell everyone these hot scoops, but they may end up becoming fired scoops. ^.^;

As some of you may know, Yoshi-P will be giving a presentation about Heavensward at PAX East on March 7th. Without giving too many details away, I recommend tuning in or catching the news about Heavensward at PAX East. You may just have some of your Heavensward-related questions answered.

Heavensward HYPE!

Why do I get the feeling that means yes, you have to buy it again for each system...

[Felis]

There is no indication that the new classes are restricted to 3.0 areas.

Not to 3.0 areas, but to the 3.0 expansion. One requirement for the new classes is having 3.0 registered to the account. The same with Au Ra.

So if someone play on PC and PS4, buy 3.0 for PC, change the character with Fantasia to Au Ra, start to level up astrologian, explore the new zones and switch to PS4 because the brother want to be on the PC, what would happen?


I think the expansion registry key will be multi-platform

Can you ask him to answer the if I play on PS4 and PC question do I have to buy 2 copies that the OP asked? Because we need to know soon to pre order since games often sell out here a lot or you can't buy it if you didn't pre order.
