Will the P4 client work for the official release? (NOT early access)

[LeoniraAmbertail]

As the title says, I'm just curious wether or not the P4 client will work for the official release of the game, for us 1.0 players that did not purchase a new copy.

If not, any idea where can I get the official release client so I and my friends can prepare for launch?

I can't seem to find any information about this anywhere other than posts saying that the P4 client will work for early access...

Yes you can, says so on the page/email you got your preorder code from

Well as I said, I did not preorder it since I am a 1.0 player and do not need to repurchase the game.
Hence I did not receive a preorder e-mail.

But this is good to know! thanks for the replies everyone. ^^

"Early access" is literally the same thing as launch; it's the same client, might well be the same patch version depending on when any emergency fixes go live, same assets, everything. Saturday is the "real" launch day for ARR, the 27th is just when it goes formally on sale in shops. For all intents and purposes, the game launches in ~27 hours.

So yes, there's no difference between the client for either EA or release. And the Phase 4 beta client is the same for both. You don't need to reinstall.
