If you and your partner just use one PC and one PS4 between you then you only need one copy for your PC and one copy for your PS4. As long as you load the game, anyone can log into it.

And actually I have one copy and I loaded it on three PC's that I was using.

This. I have 5(? I think..) copies of FFXIV. My GF and I play on PS3, PS4, and PC. I didn't buy her a copy on the PS3, and if I accidentally launch FFXIV on her PS3 account we get an error that she has not registered FFXIV on the account yet.

That being said, I'm under the impression that whoever posted you need a copy per platform, is most likely wrong. I believe that the expansion will register much like a CE. Once it's on the account, it's unlocked. Otherwise you run into weird situations such as : I buy the Physical CE for heavensward on PS4. I race change to Au Ra, and log out in the Dravnian Hinterlands.

I log out on the PS4.

I log in on my PC.

What just happened? I'm unable to log in with that character on PC anymore? It restores my character data to what it was before I race changed and puts me back in whatever zone I was in at the time of the character data save?

I would see more problems coming out of that than the extra cash they get from double charging. I could be wrong . . . I've been meaning to verify what FFXI did. Somebody previously stated in an old thread that FFXI worked the way I'm suggesting. when I was on FFXI it was PS2 only so I'm not sure.

Which means that History, and precedence, tells me that this person is most likely completely incorrect.
