Expansion Question

[Turin]

Technically speaking, I feel like it will be a challenge to require players to buy both.

It was easy with the base game because you either can play on PS4 or you cant. However, with the expansion, what if you log out in a new zone as a Machinist on PC and then attempt to log in on your PS4. They can't simply deny you the ability to log in, but then what? Auto switch to a different class? What if your inventory and armory chest are full? What happens to the gear? The issues really compound when it comes to this.

They would most likely move you to your home city if your home point is in a 3.0 area. Class/Job should remain the same. There is no indication that the new classes are restricted to 3.0 areas.

There is no indication that the new classes are restricted to 3.0 areas.

Not to 3.0 areas, but to the 3.0 expansion. One requirement for the new classes is having 3.0 registered to the account. The same with Au Ra.

So if someone play on PC and PS4, buy 3.0 for PC, change the character with Fantasia to Au Ra, start to level up astrologian, explore the new zones and switch to PS4 because the brother want to be on the PC, what would happen?


I think the expansion registry key will be multi-platform

Technically speaking what they can do it if they want you to buy a copy for both: You buy the pc upgrade and your ps4 will not have access to the toons that have been "used" in the new areas. I am NOT saying that they are, but it is a fairly simple coding to have it not even display "enhanced" toons on a non-"enhanced" client.
