Moving From JP to SEA with Steam Acc.

[Valcrist_Atreides]

As the title said, i've been spent last 6 years here in Japan and one day after trying the Free Trial because of the Yokai Watch Collabo (one of my fav shows), immediately fall in love with the game.

Since i live in Japan when i tried the game i make a JP SE account and purchasing the game through Steam which is on my home country acc. (Indonesia), but since i live here, changed the store to JP store for the convenience. Long story short my job is here need to stop because my medical condition need me to return to Indonesia for intensive treatment maybe around November this year.

I just found out that the full game not available in Steam Store in Indonesia. I try to ask at Steam Discussion about this thing and one user said that as long as i keep my store in JP store i still can buy next expansion and even mog item with Steam Wallet as long as i keep my Steam Store in JP region.

Thing is when i look some of community FB group there lot connection issue and sometimes need vpn to just update the game client and i knew Steam hate vpn.

I am aware that my condition should be more became my priority right now, but this game really make me smile, i've found friend, best friend during my game time, they even give lotsa support every time i have hard time irl or when i'm dealing with my sickness. So it will hurt me more if i'm not able to see them sometimes later ingame, maybe im not able to play as much as before, but being able to see them, of course after having my condition became better will really make me happy.

Thank you so much for your kind words. If only they allowed Steam user to purchase windows version too, or if the game itself available in my home country. But for now i hope that the tips from Steam Discussion group will work.

no problem like i say if you are still having issues with this problem put in a ticket you are in the regions were they actually care about customer service so if you put in a ticket like i say they may be able to transfer your steam licence to a windows licence instead
but also you said that it is not on the steam store in Indonesia are you even able to have a windows version of ffxiv in Indonesia ?

[Valcrist_Atreides]

I think they wont be able to account trf even tho windows and steam actually use same launcher.

The Free Trial is available in Indonesia but not full game, i can still purchase the windows version but wont be able to use my character on steam, since need to make new account for that.

Again best solution i have is to keep my Steam Store in Japan to be able to purchase. I find a thread with similiar problem with me,

sadly the OP still not responding to my question about their Steam Store status, but it seems they revert their store region preferences to Indonesia, well mainly bcs of regional pricing.

many games have let people transfer accounts across im not sure if they will or will not but asking them would give you that answere by not asking them they cant help

so either way i would ask them they might be able to fix the issue you dont know until you try

Ah, yes, i havent tried yet but after searching and reading.some old threads in this forum i find that even SE unable to transferring steam license to pc windows under same SE Account. The only option is buy a PS or Mac Version if i want to use my current account.

I dont mind buying PC windows version again if they allowrd me to use my current account but apparently its not possible. I find this old thread and replied by Tech Support

easier to get than the steam version.

Man, that Steam version just seems like a booby trap for unsuspecting new players. It's terrible that people can get region locked out of a game that they they have already put time and money into.
