PS3 and PC

I know you can use the same account on both systems nearly seamlessly, but to purchase both?

Yes, you need to purchase both if you want to play on both. When PS4 comes out, you will need to purchase that version as well.

This was the same in FFXI. Not sure why you are expressing surprise. It was the same for Everquest. It's the same for any game, really. For example, even if you bought a cross platform game, say FFXIII, on a 360, you would need to buy another copy if you want to play it on the PS3. It's the same idea. Not sure what is hard to understand here.

yes you need to buy a PC and PS3 version, the reason why is cause the game need to be activated with a code or key if not everyone download FF14 and signing with you SE account and play for free on ps3 or pc remember this is not a F2P game.

Ok here is a question that is along these lines. Say I buy two copies for PC (one for myself and one for my wife) would I then need to buy two copies for the PS3 or would just 1 copy suffice (assuming we are up to date with our subs)?

if you can unlink your SE account and add another account in the ps3 version prabably yes cause you already activated your copy on the ps3 version!!

just give them a call and ask them tomorrow

Thank you for your help.

You would need to purchase the PC copy as well to play between both platforms.

This actually makes sense to me. Considering that buying both versions amounts to what a game is at retail anyway. Digital download one of the copies and you're golden. I plan on doing this.

Like Pyrolinkx mentioned, does anyone know if we get extra 30 days for activating both? I can wait to activate the ps3 copy till the first month is over if that's what needs to be done for extra 30days.

No, the 30 day trial period is based on account and not the game. It's only available for new accounts so even if you add a new game onto your account to link them, you won't get an additional 30 days.

Well that sucks, thanks for information though :/
