PS3 to PS4

[Legend_]

I'm waiting on PS4 too I'm thinking it will be digital. Probably the same way people just upgrade from PS3 to PS4 with Call of Duty and Battlefield

It will be digital. Heck even if you bought the physical PS3 version you wind up playing on the Digital version. Since the code that came with physical edition gave you access to the digital edition not just flagging your account for PS3 access. It was added to your download list.

The easiest way would be that they change the Download to PS3/PS4(kind of like they do now for psp/vita titles). Then you can just go to your download list on the PS4 and download it. But since they said you would lose PS3 if you take the free PS4 access. So probably then have to go to your mog account and select to turn your PS3 access license into a PS4 one.

Also they recently said they might do PS4 CE, so depending on what comes with it, might be worth it for you just to buy a new PS4 CE then deal with upgrading.

The Live Letter this weekend will be about the PS4 version?

What if you upgrade for free but later buy the PS4 game could you ever go back and play on ps3 if you ever need too?

But i'm thinking about getting CE for PS4 missed it last time for PS3 and 2 new in-game items

Why would you buy the PS4 version after the upgrade? just buy the PS3 version again.
For CE, you can upgrade your standard account into a CE account for around 20$

That does bring up a good point. If I do alot of traveling and would rather go with my PS3 can i buy the PS4 version and play on both?

I wait eagerly for information if there will be an import option for the files that are stored on your PS3 locally. I lost my configuration file once thanks to one of the dozen PS3 freezes FF14ARR caused. To my surprise, I found out that the data contained information about all my characters (skills and items), changes I had made to the UI settings and also each macro I custom made. I thought this kind of information is stored on their server but it is actually stored locally on your PS3. It took me over 2 hours to redo everything and wasn't a pleasant experience.

So my big question is, can I copy the config file from PS3 over to PS4 so I can just continue to play or will the interface be so different that an import is no option and everybody has to setup everything from scratch.

maybe with PSN+ if the format of the save file is compatible with PS4

Snip.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the PS4 version would be more PC like. I don't think we'll have a real answer until the beta begins. I don't have a PS4 as of yet, I started on the PS3 but play on the PC now. Maybe they could do something for Plus.
