FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Purchase Questions

[Hvinire]

And even more questions still! Continue to provide us your feedback and let us know if there are still concerns or queries you have about this process.

Let's say I make two accounts, one with the Windows Version and one with the PS3 version. Can I play my PC account on my PS3 without buying another copy for the PS3 version right?

When you register the Windows or PS3 version to an account, you're authorizing that account to log in from the corresponding platform. Registration codes from both the Windows and PS3 versions are required to log in to both platforms with 1 service account.

For the Windows version, is the installation disc going to be Blu-ray or DVD?

The installation disc will be a DVD.

Let's say I bought Version 1.0 when it first came out, but it was so long ago I don't remember if I registered the code I got or not, and I cannot find the package today. Would I run into any concerns buying the packaged or downloadable version of FFXIV:ARR?

If you log into your Square Enix account you can confirm if you have FFXIV service account.
If you have not played the game and are looking to start fresh, there should be no problems in purchasing the packaged or downloadable version of the game.

Let's say I have a code for the Garlond Goggles that I never used, but would I be able to use it?

If you still have the unused Garlond Goggle code, it can be registered to your account after the official start of service. Also, all characters created on your service account will receive the item.

Let's say I have the collector's edition from FFXIV Version 1.0, so I know I'll get the digital collector's edition items for FFXIV:ARR. I also have Legacy status so I know I get early access.

However, I also want the Cait Sith doll and the mog cap, so I'm considering pre-ordering the standard edition. If I don't have a PS3 would I need to pre-order the Windows version to use the code?

Yes. In order to obtain the pre-order items, you would need to register a pre-order code from the Windows version to your account.

Can I get the coeurl mount if I purchase the standard edition?

There are no plans to make the collector's edition items available outside of purchasing the collector's edition. This also applies to pre-order bonus items.

Are the sale date and start of service on different days?

They are both planned for August 27, 2013.

Let's say I purchased Version 1.0, and I want to get the pre-order bonus items, the collector's edition bonus items, and I also want to get all the physical goods that come with the collector's edition package. Would I be alright in just pre-ordering the collector's edition?

Unfortunately, you would need the additional digital upgrade.
Changing the status of a current Windows service account must be done through a digital upgrade. Your current service account cannot be overwritten with a new registration code from the collector's edition.

Let's say I want to play with my family and we'll need several accounts, but we don't need a lot of boxes sitting around the house. Is it possible to purchase just the registration code?

Yes, you would only need to purchase the downloadable version.
