Im currently finding a way for me and my sis to play ffxiv without additional game time card like can we play together on 1 se acct if i buy the additional service acct.?

If you want to play together, you would need to pay 2 subscriptions. You could not play on the same SE account at the same time.

I've never tried myself, but I suspect there's no special benefit to having two service accounts associated with the same Square account and that any additional accounts would each need their own separate purchases for games, expansions, and game time.

I believe the intended purpose is for one single player to have multiple platforms registered. I just play on Windows. But if I wanted to also play on PlayStation, I would need to use this additional service account option in order to play my same character via PlayStation as well.

Your sister should have her own separate Square account.

If you and your sister want to play the game together, you'll both have to have your own FFXIV account, you'll both have to have the game (and expansion) registered under your own accounts, and you'll both have to pay the subscription fee.

You wouldn't need a separate service account for that. You'd just need to purchase another copy of the game and register it under your existing service account.

Another service account is essentially no different than another SE account, with it's own purchases and subscription fees, and its own characters. The only real difference is that by putting the two service accounts under the same SE account, you can login to the MogStation once and configure both of them. (I guess some people who have multiple accounts just for themselves prefer it that way so they don't have to keep track of separate login info for each, though that seems to me like a rather minor benefit.)
