    Buying 2 Collectors Edition License

    Hi All,

    Just wondering if I purchase a PS4 Collectors Edition and a Windows Collectors Edition. will I be able to get both rewards in just 1 account?

    I will only use it in one account and 1 character.

    Thanks for the replies!

    I don't see why you would get 2 of anything... You would only be able to have one minion, one griffon and even if you could get 2 helms, why? They're likely not tradeable and you'd only be spending the extra money for what?

    And you get the same rewards on every character you make. I know, I have 7

    ohh understood. Thanks for you help! .

    and about the licenses . if example a friend came in and wanted to play his account it wont affect my license right? basically the license is an account bound thing not more of a desktop & PS4 bound thing right?

    Im quite worried about the reformat issues and all that for PS4 and PC.

    Thanks again!

    Yes, licenses go by account, and yes, playing at a different IP than normal may cause your account to be temporarily locked due to suspicious activity I've heard.

    Just wanted to add that it's a bit different between PC and PS3/PS4. For the PC version, which account you use is based on just the username/password you log into the game itself with. But for PS3/PS4, it's also important which PSN account you're logged into through Sony. When at a friend's house, on their PS4, you'll have to log out of their PSN account and log back in with your own before starting the game. Only once you're logged into your own PSN account will your FFXIV username/password be accepted.

    Licences (which version(s) of the game you've purchased) are tied to your account. They're always tied to your SE account (and as mentioned, they're also tied to your PSN account in the case of PS3 or PS4 versions).

    Those licences are only good for a particular type of platform. For instance, a friend who only has the PS3 version of the game cannot come and play the PC version on your computer, because his account will only accept PS3 access. The same goes for someone who only has the PC version of the game trying to play on PS3 or PS4. It won't work.

    They are not, however, completely tied to a specific platform. If you have the PC version, you should be able to play from any PC. If you have the PS4 version, you should be able to play from any PS4 (provided that you log into the correct PSN account). Etc.
