PSN is down

[Felis]

I really wish they could make it so that you don't have to log onto psn to play. I mean, for ps3 users, it shouldn't be a big deal. For ps4 users, they could just use a check method where when you log in, it checks when your psn plus expires and place a marker and then allow you to log in until the marked date, updating each login with psn up.

Then have a say backup function for if the psn is down, to have it so that we don't need the psn to be up. Like have it so that normally it works how it already works, but when psn goes down, have it so that it switches to a backup system.

You don't need PSN Plus to play FF XIV.
You only need to be log in to your PSN accont before you can log in to the SE servers (the PSN account and the SE service account are linked together).
