Early Access & Account issues (PS3)

[AccelaDropp]

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.

I think you are misunderstanding - you are only using the EU account to gain access to the client that is available in the PSN store. So far, it appears that the client is language/region universal. After downloading the client, you switch back to your playstations US profile and launch the client. From here you log in using the square enix account you used when registering your pre-order early access promo code

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.

Assuming this works then this link is correct: http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...ps3_psn_codes/ - the top part worked for me

What is the the PC fix?

Open IE or Chrome (doesn't work with firefox). Delete cookies and dump browser cache.

Go to preorder site. Sign in up top. Make sure all links are USA links.

Enter code. You should get a different code back. This only works for pc. (probably because SE controls the PC codes whereas they get the PS3 codes from sony)

Got the same error Valkim Did. It's asking me to register using the promotion code I used. =[

Looking through the SE-Service Account options, there is no obvious way to change my region which clearly states "Americas."

So at this point, I don't know what to do outside of wait for SE to respond to my tickets (and not just close them without a response.)

For anyone not sure what I did:
US PSN ID couldn't claim the code that the pre-order site gave me.
Opening the P4 client prompt me to enter the 12-digit code, of course my code didn't work.

Switched to my EU PSN ID. I was able to claim the 12-digit code and downloaded a new client.

I switched back to my US PSN ID, and the new client wouldn't load (asked me to enter 12-digit code, which again didn't work.)

Swapped back to EU PSN ID, ran new client it opened up fine, accpeted EULA, then asked for my SE-Service Account info. I entered it in and got a nice new Error:
"This region is different. Please log into a region where you registered your Square Enix Account."

Back to trying to get the client to run from my US PSN ID. Oh god this has been such a pain. Guess I'll be missing Early Access at this rate, and now I got a code I have no idea what to do with haha.

Just to confirm - you did register the code with your existing, P4 beta client login?

No, the code wouldn't work. Steps of how it happened:

Register code from GMG (my "PC" code) and get a PSN code.
PSN code doesn't work on US PSN. d'oh.
I launched the P4 beta client on my US PSN ID and it prompts me for a code, I enter the only 12-digit code I got and it says invalid. I cry.

Brain storm, try claiming ID with EU PSN ID, jump through hoops, now client is region locked. I cry some more.
