This is really confusing me especially for a multi platform MMO. I want to start out by saying that I understand the that there is a "PC" and "Steam" version of this game that are the same game just different Applications. And if I could go back a week ago I would have not registered for the Steam free trail.

I have created an account registered for the Steam 14 day free trial, logged in, created my character and have been playing ever since. I found out yesterday that SE is having a sale on some of their games FF14 bundle happens to be one of them. So I purchased the game downloaded their launcher (which took as long as demo) and when I finally get to login it turns out that my character/account is still linked to "Steam". When I try to enter registration code it will not over ride the FREE TRAIL.

So my question is there anyway to cancel the "free trail" and convert my character/account back to being a stand alone unsubscribed account? Or switch it from Steam to PC? Short of creating a new account (which I am tempted to do) is there any way around this?
