How do I Unlink my characters from steam version of ffxiv?

[Tommyhawk]

I bought a regular version (non steam) of ffxiv cause steam is being more of a hinderance than anything in regards to ffxiv.

I activated the key on to my moogle account and now have ffxiv acct 1 ( steam version) and ffxiv acct 2 (non steam version) under the moogle station


My character is under ffxiv acct 1 (steam version)

I wish to connect my character to ffxiv acct 2 (non steam version)

Anyone know how this is possible?

I would like to know this as well. And also, how can I be sure if my account is linked to Steam or not?

Sorry, but to the best of my knowledge, you can't. I've heard of tech support moving over subscriptions that were added to the wrong account by mistake (after jumping through a lot of hoops), but never anyone actually moving a character to another account. You could contact customer services and ask them (these are user forums so you won't get an official answer here), but I don't think you'll get good news based on everything I've read from other people in the past. I hope I'm wrong though...

Curious as to what your Steam related problems are though? I have my main account as normal PC download (originally a 1.0 account) and a 2nd account on the same service account which was from Steam and hardly notice the difference. The non-steam one takes payment automatically every 6 months and the Steam one I just pay via Steam Wallet when it runs out (I think I can actually set up auto billing, I just haven't bothered).

I would like to know this as well. And also, how can I be sure if my account is linked to Steam or not?

Basically if you bought the game through Steam, then it is the Steam version. Also if you log into the Mogstation ( https://secure.square-enix.com/accou...vc/mogstation/ ) on the opening page if you have a Steam account it'll show about the Steam wallet as shown in my screenshot below:

This is confusing me a bit too, because I brought the game, though my original download was from the FFXIV site iirc, through Steam, but mine doesn't look like that. Mine has two faces where the feather should be and I don't have to pay my sub through steam.

So I'm unsure if it's flagged as a steam account or not. I'd presume it would be still, but if there's a way I can leave Steam without losing my characters, I would love to find out.

If I have to start a new character, so be it. But with most of my crafting classes at level 50, I can't say I relish the idea of starting again.

The feather bit (assuming looking same place) is just that I recruited someone. I believe the two faces icon you're describing means you were recruited by someone.

The bit to look for is that circle "Subscription Payment Steam Wallet". Only Steam versions of FFXIV have that option. If you have it, you have the Steam version. If you don't have it, you don't have the Steam version.

Thanks for the reply. As it is, I recruited someone else so I figure the symbol there is unimportant.

I have the option of paying by steam wallet so it definitely is then. Oh well, I'll just have to deal with it.
