I'm new to the forums so I apologize if this question has already been answered somewhere else. I have been looking for some detailed information on the difference between the upgrade campaign from PS3 to PS4 versus the transferring of PS3 save data? On the page regarding the upgrade it says that participation in the upgrade is not required to transfer PS3 save data (link here: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...e/ps4/upgrade/).
This seems vague to me and since I don't see any real way of contacting Square Enix with respect to it, perhaps someone here could clarify that for me. I'd like to know the following:
1. If I am not able to get a PS4 before the free upgrade campaign deadline, will I be able to upgrade afterwards by paying a fee?
2. If I buy a PS4 version of FFXIV on disc, can I then use the transfer save data function to continue my PS3 game on PS4 with my original characters and with all their items, gear and accomplishments in tact?
