What to buy to upgrade account to current?

[Phaeton]

Hey guys,

First let me say I have been searching for hours but can't find an answer, and between the Square-Enix site, the FFXIV site, the FFXIV store, the Mog Station, The Lodestone and the Forums, I kinda feel like I'm trying to navigate a maze with both eyes tied behind my back. Holy confusing.

Here's the situation. I bought the Collector's Edition of the original game when it first came out. I think I played about 3 weeks before all my friends had stopped and all the bugs and problems had worn even me down. Now I am looking to get back into the game. I know it was rereleased and now has two expansions. I got my account all figured out, got the game installed and have run around a bit. Now I want to get my account upgraded to current.

On the Mog Station it shows I have the CE of A Realm Reborn and that's it. If i click the BUY link beside Heavensward it takes me to the FFXIV store, which as far as I can tell doesn't have Heavensward listed as a solo purchase anywhere. It seems like the best option would be to go with the FINAL FANTASY® XIV ONLINE COMPLETE EDITION [PC DOWNLOAD], since it says it includes the base game and both expansions. What I don't know is if I can use this with my current existing account, as I already have a Realm Reborn account.

Anyone able to give me some advice/direction on the best way to get up to current?

Thanks!

The Stormblood expansion includes Heavensward. So really all you need is the Stormblood expansion. You can get it in regular or collector edition, that's up to you, but you can always upgrade regular to collectors later on the Mogstation if you wanted anyway.

Ahh, that's the piece of the puzzle I was missing! Thanks for responding, you're a lifesaver!
