I've heard the same, but was hoping for different news.

That means SE didn't really refund my money. They gave it to PSN to hold for me, so I am forced to buy another product when I wanted to apply those funds specifically to FFXIV.
Is there any way to get official word on this? Have they made an announcement? The only other game I'm remotely interested in is Diablo 3, but all I really want to do is play XIV.
