Moving From JP to SEA with Steam Acc.

how goes fixing the region issue ?

[hagare]

Man, that Steam version just seems like a booby trap for unsuspecting new players. It's terrible that people can get region locked out of a game that they they have already put time and money into.

Tbh, the steam version does have it's advantages such as regional pricing.
The problem is, not everyone can access the steam version.
Such as many things, it all depends on location location location.
And honestly for things like this, I feel like it's easier to get a console and add the console version to the service account.
It's better than other solution of making a new account in a windows account.
You have to buy a console version, but at least that way you don't lose your character.

I have the console version up to Shadowbringers but need to use JP PSN id since FFXIV also not available in Indonesia. But ofc if they allowed PC user can have both Windows and Steam version at same time even tho i need to repurchase the game with all the expansions then it would've been better option

is your console version the same service account as your steam version?
if it is, the easiest path for you is play on console.

while i can't give you any advice on how to transfer your account, i would like to bring up what you said here:

I am aware that my condition should be more became my priority right now, but this game really make me smile, i've found friend, best friend during my game time, they even give lotsa support every time i have hard time irl or when i'm dealing with my sickness. So it will hurt me more if i'm not able to see them sometimes later ingame, maybe im not able to play as much as before, but being able to see them, of course after having my condition became better will really make me happy.

while yes, your health is important, it is also important to take care of your mental health. entertainment and other things are important as well. enjoying life is never something to be ashamed of as long as you are not hurting yourself or others. you needn't make an excuse on why you wish to continue playing a game that makes you happy. i hope your health gets better, and i hope you are able to fix the region issue. i really wish it wasn't so set in stone. SE really needs to make it possible to flex it occasionally.

good luck, if you find a way, keep us posted c:

Thank you so much for your kind words... i still have hope that i can access this game from console, and yes i will update this thread if there if i can find a way to keep play via steam version ^^

Then I assume you already have a JPN PSN account.
If so, updating and playing in the console is your easiest solution.
I don't play with steam, so I don't really have the know how for that side of the problem.
And since it's already mid November, I hope your medical condition is already being cared for.
Take care and get well.

I have Steam Account, and recently the game has been removed from steam store for my steam region ("This item is currently unavailable in your region" error)

But I still able to use all Mog Station services, and pay services there with steam account wallet, and install and play the game from steam (but not visit the store page)

Maybe its not Steam, maybe its SE blocks something from ur way?
