PS3 and PC servers

[Kirito]

Ok, now I got it. Thanks. Time to have her apply for the PS3 beta now!

You both will automatically get into the pc beta. In fact that mails are going to start coming out though out this week and next week. Since the beta is on the 25. If you are planning to apply ps3 then yes you should do so. Especially if you have the the ff13 members code, since you'll get priority over those who did not register with that code. Also if you already applied for ps3 beta back in 1.0 and played the pc beta instead, your application for ps3 beta will still be reviewed and you won't need to apply for ps3 beta. If you do apply just make sure that you both like "ps3 and pc" button to assure you do get your pc beta codes although you should get them no matter what. But just as an extra precaution.

Yes, but you may need to start over on a new server if you have an existing player.

This is only half true. Existing players can play with new players (PC or PS3) as long as the new player chooses the same server that the existing player's character can access.


All existing characters (at launch) can access servers A,B,C,D, and E.
All newly created characters can access servers A,B,C,D,E,F, and G.

New players can choose the alternate servers so they can experience a game with no established playerbase or economy, so that they can be on the same table with other new characters.

I think what Meat was referring to was if all space in one server has reached it maxed capacity due to how many existing players returned then new characters couldn't register in it for a while.

Yeah i wasn't sure if new can join existing off the start or if they will make then wait a bit.

Yes, but you may need to start over on a new server if you have an existing player.

Starting accounts are allow to enter old worlds with 1.0 players. But 1.0 players with level up chars are not allow to enter the new world made for starting players.

But that up to the limit on the world but i'm sure they always be open worlds that new players can make there char on.

Although you can make a new character on the new character only servers if you wish.

There's one thing you need to understand about the PS3-

The registration code included with the PS3 version needs to be registered to your original PC account in order to play the same account on both platforms. In other words, odds are you'd need 2 copies of the PS3 version in order to play 2 different accounts on both platforms. They do this to insure you actually own a copy of the software for the platform you're playing on to combat piracy (which in this case, it sort of works because its account based not disc or software based)

They haven't mentioned anything since they were first talking about the ps3 version, so it may be that this is changing (though i doubt it) but this is how it was originally planned. This is something a rep should probably clear the air on.
