PETITION: Regarding FINAL FANTASY XIV Steam Version (Mar. 8)

[Dualgunner]

What's SE's fault is not letting me apply my PC license to my account because I applied Steam to it before. Getting the game on Steam was a mistake, 100%, I just have no way of reversing this mistake without uprooting myself entirely.

I'm really interested in your PC specs, tbh.

Same, that sounds more like a support thread issue than steam, since if you're not using the steam launcher, you're just connecting directly. Post in the support thread and put your specs / pc diag in for people to see what's going on. 3rd party apps/mods etc.

Ignore it lol, they're not reading the thread anyways, and that's a throwaway account given 1st post, they're not willing to post from their main, which says enough.

I see that a lot in this thread specifically. :eyes:

And your point being... Given how the authentication works with ESO and how things regularly go down, why wouldn't people want a way to escape? Notice how many of us are even willing to REBUY THE GAME AND EXPANSIONS, but we can't without losing our current characters. Tell us again how that's our fault. Yeah, we can accept buying from Steam was a mistake, but how is it our fault that SE refuse to let us put this right without starting with an entire new account (thus losing all our character progress, pre-order bonuses, event items like Yo-Kai that we absolutely cannot get back, etc). All we're asking for is a way to access the game without having to start over. Even if that means rebuying the game and giving SE more money.

Nothing but fishing for likes and replies.

It was postponed till April or later due to a bug that was discovered. Yall can calm down for the time being now.

I would argue with a postponing we should still keep the issue present in hopes before the implementation they can explain a little more in detail to hopefully quell the fears of it needing to be connected to Steam authentication the whole time like ESO did. I also hope it would give them time to seriously think about separating the Windows and Steam versions like ESO did for players who no longer want to be trapped by the steam version after said changes.

This thread definitely needs to stay on page 1!
This issue is too important to risk being overlooked and go down

Signed.
S-E, if you read this post, I’d gladly (and I think most players with this issue agree) pay for the Windows version + expacs and even some form of account transfer fee if absolutely needed. So please allow us to buy both stream and the win version.
