Please allow Steam License holders to buy a standalone PC License.

I got the game as a gift in 2014, but at the time I didn't have a good PC to run it.

I linked the account in an e-mail that I no longer have access to.

I removed the game from my Steam library, bought it again, but got the same Key (Steam only offers one key per account); So I had to create another Steam account, buy the game again through it and use the code provided for this account in my FFXIV.

When this new Steam account linkin goes into effect, will I have to use the Base Game Key/ARR, or Endwalker? I don't think they specified. I'm afraid this will give me problems. The kind that makes me lose my 8-year-old account.

As far as I know, you'll have to be logged into the steam account linked to the FFXIV account to be able to login to the FFXIV account. This isn't anything new, its just coming up again ( with the recent announcement ). So if you've had no problems thus far you should be ok.

I hope so... Only my base game/ARR key aren't the same as my main Steam account. I didnt problems with Stormblood, Shadowbringers and Endwalker because they give different keys.

I was ok with this line: "a Steam version service account will be prompted to perform a one-time link of their Steam account to their Square Enix account. From then on, the Square Enix account will need to match the Steam account that launches the FINAL FANTASY XIV software"

But this one, worried me: "To link accounts, the Steam account must possess a FINAL FANTASY XIV license that matches that found on the target Square Enix account/FINAL FANTASY XIV service account (e.g., the Free Trial version or the full game version)."

Only my expansions were registred from my main Steam account, but the ARR one I got from another.

This is the part that really needs more information. It's unclear if they are actually going to line up the CD keys or not (is there any way to even see what code was registered to your SE account???). Or is it just checking to see if the Steam and target SE account simply have the full or free trial version of the game present.

This seems sloppily and hastily written. I'm hoping they aren't going to be running a CD check when it doesn't seem like its possible to confirm what CD key was applied on mog station (but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong if there's a way to find what was registered).

I know its easy to find the keys themselves on Steam, I'm talking about mog station specifically.

its the same way the SE launcher after you launch the game through steam knows whether or not you have access to the current expansion or not when you log in and can level up higher or create that new class, which makes me wonder, why does it sound like we are going to have to put in the keys AGAIN if this is already implemented? i dont know about you guys but i already have OTP as well, and i have steam guard(for what thats worth) so why, are they going this far with all of this? couldnt they just tell users to get OTP and if steam strongly suggest steam guard or 2fa or something?

or is the real goal for this to make is so you have to log in yourself once 6.1 hits for housing? is all of it going to be lottery? if so that doesnt make sense anyway, if not then maybe it does
