FF14ARR on Steam! And some unanswered questions...

Important
The NA version of FINAL FANTASY® XIV: A Realm Reborn™ will require a North American Square Enix Account to play.

A Square Enix Account without any previous Windows version of FFXIV registered, may receive 30 days of free game time.

Monthly subscription required to play.


You can use your current account. I am not sure where people are getting an ideas that they have to register a new account. Just wait till an expansion comes out and buy it on steam. Then you have your game on steam without spending extra cash.

I just noticed that too. They edited the page quick. (Though mine says European and other regions of course)

Yeah they do but really just use a touch of common sense on these things. I own a few mmos that didn't come out on steam at release. I just buy the xpac on steam and use my current account. Never had an issue with being forced to make a new account.

The Steam community page is already full of cancer.

Ugh

You're not kidding, holy crap that community page is horrific to read.

A SE rep response on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen..._steam/cfi891z

Hehe, good try. But we have hundred of games were once added to steam, they gave us steam keys to register it.

So... If SE wanted to do it, they coud do it. Of course maybe with some kind of compensation to steam, but surely a very little one, contrary to what they want us to belief, server space and traffic come at a very low price.

And I'm not sure if Steam really woud want a compensation. I mean.. if you use steam to play those games, they have more chances of having you buy one from them, so letting you do it directly it's some kind of marketing action

Question, if I buy the game on Steam now, will the 30 days be added to my current game time? Here in the UK, a month is £8.99 and the game on Steam is £9.99... I don't mind paying the £1 for convenience!

Hello Steam users!
I just want to say welcome. Welcome, and, please, play tank. Tank is the best job in the game. Please play it.
Please.
Please?

The 30 days of time will not be added to your account that has an existing ffxiv account on it already.

So basically, if you want the free month you'd have to make a fresh new account. It won't be added to your existing one.

Oh dear lord the steam community.. They are actually making a petition.. to remove sub fees.. LOL..!!
