Can we please have a way to unlink our accounts from steam?

Nope, the steam version of ARR can only be upgraded with a steam version of Heavensward

Yes, to upgrade the steam basic you need steam heavensward.
I mean to register PC basic to the Steam basic (buying PC version) and then upgrade the PC basic with PC Heavensward

whoaaa... does this mean that I cannot order any preorders from outside sources other than directly from steam?
Because my friend already did, is he out of luck?

I haven't ordered mine yet, but as far as I know, steam doesn't have pre-order/early access available yet, hope they get it out soon

You would need the basic game for the other platform. PC and steam don't count as the same platform, how I understand it.

There is never a way to migrate chars. You just put the registration key to your already existing SE account to the same service account as your FF account (don't create a new service account) and you can just login to your account with the new client.

Should be the same for Steam.

I'm an idiot who re-purchased the game just to use it on Steam and I regret.

why it's so hard to buy expansion packs? if it continues like this I'll ask for a way to get away from Steam too.

To get your account off Steam you just need to get a copy of the game for a different medium, register it to your account and never use Steam again. You don't have to start over at all, your character is tied to the account, not the particular install you're using. Yes, it sucks that you will have to probably buy the game again, but it's not the end of the world.

For those who don't use steam it would help to know what platform tag Steam users have

This are the platform tags on my account:


Win for nomal PC version and PS4

Do steam users have the Win tag, even if they haven't registered the normal PC version in the past, or have they another tag?
If another tag, then it should be really no problem to register the normal PC version to the account.

Steam users have the Win tag.
