Question about PS3 & PC options.

A square enix account is a container for all square enix online game accounts you posess. It can be used to pay for any/all of them at once.

A Square enix account is intended to be posessed by one person, however. Bear this in mind as contests/events held by the community team generally only allow one entry/participant per Square Enix account, and you can not split off service accounts from an SE account once they've been created. So, if you have a friend or significant other, they need to create their own SE account. SE accounts are not intended to be shared.

The Square Enix account is just an account where you registered yourself pretty much. You link your serials from games and whatever to this. A service account could be called your subscription I guess. In some cases some people have multiple subscriptions and end up with multiple service accounts under the same SE account. Keeps you from having to remember multiple logins.

See this is where it gets tricky on if it would work or not for you because it depends what you did.

If you linked your ps3 to your SE account but created a NEW service account you could use them both at the same time paying the sub on 2 service accounts. You would not have access to your pc's characters on ps3 though. But if you linked it to an existing service account in order to play the same character on both pc and ps3 then yea you need another box...

Okay. Thanks for clarifying that for me. I guess, I should just hope the PS4 version is much much improved then.
