Guys be aware! For early access...

I was getting that same thing on my pc client even though I thought I already had the ps3 one linked to my account since I linked it in phase 4. But after going back to my ps3 today and updating the client it asked me to link it again for official service. As soon as I did that I switched back to my pc and launched it and it went straight to the patch download and now just says please wait until early access.

As a 1.0 non legacy I am set up on ps3 and pc for early access. FYI I used my preorder early access code on ps3 not pc since I already had the pc version.

I'm a Legacy Member and I was able to patch up the game well on my PC but on PS3 I get an error when use my Legacy Account. PS3 says: No valid or active service account is available to play FFXIV: A Realm Reborn.

So means I need to buy the PS3 Version to be able to play on both platforms?

Good point I fixed by first post to reflect this.

Good question. All we were promised that if we used the early access code and where from 1.0, we would be able to play on any console. No legacy member was explicitly given a ps3 code for early access so giving them access to play on the ps3 version without giving them the ps3 version probably will make the devs to have to give our more codes to every legacy player. That is probably a big hassle especially this late so they probably won't do that. The pc version on the other hand is relatively easy to find, and posted in numerous places.

So yes you need to buy the ps3 version to get early access. I recommend the psn version since it is instant download and you still get preorder items...

It was stated in a previous clarification to this issue that in order to play on both PC and PS3 you would need to buy the game for both platforms. Now here's the tricky part.

IF you are a 1.0 member (you're already eligible for the PC version) now, I know quite a few that has pre-ordered the new game too on top of their original 1.0 account, what I think is going down is that:
- Should you have 2 accounts (an 1.0 and an ARR) you get to use both PC and PS3 version during Early Access instead of just the ARR version (provided you register it for PS3?).

Whether I'd count on the above.. Not a chance, it's just how I read their statement.. Honestly, it's confusing me the more I think about it..

Hi all, has it been confirmed whether or not someone with two service accounts under the same master ID that BOTH HAVE ACCESS TO PS3 will be allowed to choose either 1 or 2 to log on like it is on PC?

No, you'll be banned for trying this , kthxbai. I'm kidding - of course you can select whichever Service Account you want to use provided that you've of course linked the product-key to that account .

Update: Just bought the PS3 Collectors Edition, registered the early access code I got by email and I was able to patch the PS3 version too. So now I can use both platforms.
