You have to realize the key difference here. Actual software client has absolutely ZERO connection with the Steam client - you can launch FF14 without Steam at all.
What you're buying on Steam is a product key. You never used the Steam key with your account, you just used Steam to download the client.
Actual game is identical between Steam and a download elsewhere. What matters here are the product keys, which are separated into Steam and non-Steam ones.
I guess I need some clarification here as I'm in the same boat as Vvardenmarrn..

I played in 1.0. I now play through Steam (I bought a copy on Steam when it was insanely cheap)
I'm guessing I'm OK if I wait to preorder Heavensward through Steam no?
