We have to buy Heavensward twice? for different platforms?

[ScarecrowJames]

Recall again. Most of FFXI expansion's data was on the disc, which mean you had to have a disc for the expansion you wanted for each platform you used. Now a days, the data come with the patch, but everyone wants a cut of the profit from selling you a copy.

Not quite, for pc buying the console version was all you would need and FFXI gave the expansions for download for free as long as it was registered to your account. As for consoles as long as you had registration you could use the expansion but you needed it installed from the disc that much is true. I have bought heavensward ps4 and have access for it on another account(I pay for my brothers account). I was expecting I could just use the disc seeing how my account has access to it for pc but that is not the case. As expansions are now also tied to platforms unlike how FFXI was.

Its not a big deal but took me by surprise. I wonder If I log off on pc in Ishgard can i log back on through PS4. I wonder what will happen.
