Will we ever be able to own ff14 for Windows AND Steam? :(

[PoyoYoyo]

Yes, no? why?

[DixieBellOCE]

Oh hiya poyo \o/

would break the agreement with steam if they sold both versions to a single account, Steam would drop XIV from the store.

[ryouma17]

you can indeed own both version

you just cant play both versions with the same account

[Jin-]

They don't want you to take advantage of the multiple sales on both sites and Steam wallet. Purely a business decision.

no. you really dont.

May I ask, what is it about the Steam version that you want it over the Windows version? I guess maybe if you use Steam a lot and want the convenience of it in your list. I don't see how it would be much different.

I want steam so i can play on my steam deck, i wanna do it the legit way and not by installing apps or anything to do it.

You can run FF XIV on the steamdeck without having the game on steam and it's quite the same. It's still "legit", steamdeck is a portable PC after all.
Thought I agree the performance are not quite the same...

I'm on Steam and... Yeah I join the others, it isn't great to be forced to log in Steam every time you want to open XIV.
You'll also lose flexibility and family won't be allowed to access your games while you're in XIV.

The steamdeck also have problems with physical keyboard that aren't QWERTY.

no. you really dont.
