    Man.......... thats so shit.

    I would be up for buying the PS4 version because its on a different format or w/e but I'm quite shocked thats the case for the same format. I just think if a family of three kids wants to play and play together or w/e you have to buy the same game 3 times. Just seems a bit much but oh well...

    Thanks for the quick reply

    To make this more understandable...

    When you "purchase" an MMO... ANY MMO. You are not purchasing the game. You are purchasing a service account. Anyone can download FFXIV, but you have to have a valid service account to play it. This is not unlike any other MMO whether it is a subscription based game like XIV or WoW, or a buy to play game such as Guild Wars 2, Black Desert or Elder Scrolls or even a Free to Play game such as Blade & Soul. You purchase the account, you do not purchase the game. So in order to have 3 kids play the game at the same time, you will need 3 accounts. If you want to use the service together with your significant other you must both have service accounts. This is the same across the entire marketplace. This is both a fundamental bottom-line financial requirement as well as an in-game economic requirement.

    I will admit that I truly wish that SE would go back to the way XI worked (buy it on console, login on anything). But that ship saled with Sony's requirements and SE's need to make money on the product.
