Early Access & Account issues (PS3)

[NyneAlexander]

the issue is a ton of us were given EU PSN codes the same way PC users were given EU PC codes. Except PC got a fix and PS3 did not.

Val can you take a picture of the error you get when you log into the NA client on ps3?

Hey guys, hey! For starters, I'm exhausted. Sat in 2+ hrs for chat support only for them to Disconnect me when it was my turn.

Talked with vendor and Square Enix support, no success. I did however get 5 emails with the same EU PSN code.

So, I figured fine I'll try it since I have a working EU account.

Code worked fine on my EU PSN account, downloaded client, am currently installing it. I got the error Vakim got when running the P4 client I had already installed. I'm currently installing the new client I got from redeeming my EU code.

It's at 50% right now. Hopefully it works, and I can at least link this to my SE-account and play on the PC (don't really care for the PS3 version.)

This has been one giant mess for me since P4.

TL;DR
I'm trying the EU trick. Wish me luck.

I just noticed that while I was readying the client on my PS3, I accidently created another FFXIV service account. One was created on 14th of June and I used to create my beta 4 character (FFXIV 1) and the other was created yesterday to register my early access code (FFXIV 2).

I'm under the impression that I have my beta 4 character under FINAL FANTASY XIV 1 and my early access benefits under FINAL FANTASY XIV 2. So, when the early access comes Saturday, I'm thinking I'm stuck with an account with no early access goodies or one with no character.

Can anyone confirm this? Is there any way I can remedy this?

Welps, it seems the PSN client is ID tied.

I opened up the freshly downloaded and installed client I got from redeeming my EU PSN code on my EU PSN ID. I got the same error, and it asking me to re-enter my code (which doesn't work on my US PSN ID.)

So I switched over to my EU PSN ID and launched the client, it worked fine. I'm going through the setup to see if I can bind the info to my SE Service Account...

HOWEVER, if this works, for PS3 users I get the feeling they'd have to use their EU PSN IDs to launch the client. Going to test it now...

Good luck but I will wait and see if SE will fix this I can only see linking a Eu account to my Na account might make for more issues down the road. If I miss out on EA ok but I want my mog and cat items. Since I know they can be redeem from now till December there is still hope I will get my items. Just I have a feeling you are turning you account into an eu account that could be an issue come sub time.
