hey, is anyone else having the problem of registering (via the PSN after DLing & installing) and not receiving a confirmation code by email?
I input my username & password, birth date, security question, get to a screen that says it's going to email me the confirmation code (I confirmed I put my email in correctly), tells me the code is only good for an hour (wut), and I never receive it. I check my inbox & spam/junk folder and no luck.
I tried Google but only ended up with people having issues when the game launched back in August and the issue appeared to be massive web traffic.:/
I guess that could be the case again, but could it really be as bad as it was upon re-launch?

Hmm, I will probably jump on this tonight.
Yeah, I ended up pullling the trigger on, Ni No Kuni, FFXIV, Catherine and Dungeon Defenders.

why not buy it for $10 now, try it for a month (free), then upgrade to the PS4 version for free in April if you like it?
Beats waiting and paying $59.99 for the PS4 version, no?

Luckily, I picked that one yesterday. Still trying to get my bearings. I'm only lvl. 4.
Make a US PSN account! It's really easy, use a fake address, and buy PSN credit from Amazon. There is genuinely no downside.

I don't have my PS3 anymore, otherwise I probably would. I dunno, maybe I'll just buy and sit on it, $10 bucks is a pretty good deal.
The $10 that came with my PS4 is burning a hole in my digital wallet, I might just put it towards Persona 4 for Vita. I'm feeling the need for some RPG goodness.
Good news for people who want sales on other platforms.
FFXIV is coming to Steam!

I love this game so much. So much fan service and throwbacks to the IP's legacy. It's already a solid game and there's a lot for you to sink your teeth into. The thought of spending the next decade carving myself a little niche in this beautifully realised FF world gives me warm fuzzies. I can't wait for player housing and all that they will bring to the game...and chocobo raising...and racing..and the golden saucer...and all the other things they've said will come.

Ok I just downloaded this on PS3. Do I have to go activate anything in order to get my free PS4 version? I would like to save my free month for the PS4 version if I can.
I wonder why its taking so long. Isn't porting to ps4 easy? Like asking a girl out level of ease?

Hmm, think I'm going to hold off until they add some form of PvP. I know they did talk about adding a "world versus world" type pvp at the 6 month mark. I'll wait until then. For now Guild Wars 2 will hold my interest.

Send a /tell out to Maple Cookie, Strawberry Shortcake, Capell Percipere, or Xarielle Randgris to get an invite to the GAF Free Company.

And go here to sign up.
The first PvP Content is called "Wolves' Den" and is a 4v4 arena based mode. It's coming in the 2.1 update on the 17th. Pretty sure they have plans to expand it to 8v8 and add more related PvP content.
Open PvP Areas has been discussed but I dont think there's a timeline in place. Maybe by the time Version 2.2 is around the corner we will be hearing more. I don't know if there are any plans for an equivalent of GW2's world vs world PvP.

So it appears that I can purchase both the Regular and CE PS3 version, and this has gotten me thinking.
Assuming I want everything linked to only one account, does this mean I can purchase both versions now with the idea of updating one of those to the PS4 version and then still retain one to use on the PS3?
I know this is a silly question but I just bought the CE version, so grabbing the Regular version would give me an additional 30 days for $10 and could allow me to still play on the PS3 after the PS4 comes out.

Damn thing auto subbed me again. Swear to god I turned it off. This game wants me to keep playing and I don't even want to play it.

Bought, enjoyed my time with the beta but was waiting for the ps4 version so this was a steal.
Sorry I haven't had a chance to read through this thread yet... but could someone please answer these questions for me?
1) Is there an extra monthly fee to play this, and if so how much is it per month?
2) Can I transfer this game/license from the PS3 version to the PS4 version when I buy a PS4, say, a year from now?
2a) If I can do this, do I have to be an active subscriber at the time I do the transfer? In other words, if I play on PS3 for a month, then stop subscribing for 10 months, am I still eligible for a transfer if I resubscribe later?
2b) If I can do this, can I just buy this now for for $10, never play it, and then when I get a PS4 a year from now transfer and start my 30-day free trial then? In other words, when does the clock start ticking on the free trial?
2c) If I can do this, do I get to keep my characters/stats/equipment, etc.?
Thanks... hopefully this wasn't too confusing.

1) Yes, 12.99$/month.
2) Yes.
2a) I don't see why not.
2b) Probably. It surely was that way for PC codes, we'd need a report from someone if the free month starts ticking from buy, install, or whatever event.
2c) Yes. The servers are the same, you just need to 'unlock' platforms you can use your account on.

When you register the key to your square account
OK, cool. So then I could conceivably buy this, wait until it comes out for PS4, initiate everything at that point, and then I'll have FFXIV for PS4 + 30 days all for only $10?
Yes

Somehow I also picked Ultros because I like the word... Perfect!
Yup! I was wondering the same thing and people say if you own the CE items, they apply to your account and work on the PC version too. So I don't see why they wouldn't on PS4 and vice-versa.

Is the 30-days game time valid if you already have a PC account and used the PC 30-days. too?

The 30 days stack. If you buy on PC and PS3 you get a total of 60 days.
This should be in the OP! Fantastic deal!
If I cannot wait till April and and start play now on PS3 what would be the fee to upgrade from PS3 to PS4? $10? Like the other games that had the PS3 to PS4 upgrade feature?
Square is giving free upgrades from the PS3 to PS4 version. The only caveat is that after you upgrade you'll no longer be able to play the PS3 version.
I have the PS3 CE and have just bought an additional standard code so that I can upgrade that to PS4 and still be able to play on my PS3. Basically if you buy two codes you'll be able to upgrade one to the PS4 version and be able to play the game on both systems, or you can buy one and upgrade to PS4 later to just play on the PS4.
Sweet! Thanks for the quick reply. This info should also be in the OP.

Bought the CE yesterday, but as others have said i don't plan to touch the PS3 version, i'll wait instead for the PS4 version release.
I have some questions:
1) How "gimped" are PS3 players compared to PC players? Is there a FF14 equivalent version of Windower from FFXI. Because it was a night and day difference between PS2 and PC users on FFXI and I would actively try to avoid playing with PS2 players.
2) I watched a video difference and PS3 version suffers from low textures (expected) but some nasty pop-up / character loading. Does this affect gameplay in any way? (and I assume this will be fixed with PS4)
I don't have a PC anymore (switched to Mac), so if I'm going to invest my time into FF14, I want to make sure I'm not behind PC users.

I'd imagine draw distance, FPS, and pop-in are the biggest factors, which will hopefully be fixed in the PS4 version. Playing the PS3 version atm, and no feeling of being gimped on my end. Control-wise, the only annoyance is targeting with a controller, which SE have covered by allowing on-the-fly target group switching, so you can switch between allies/enemies/npcs with a button combo to avoid having to cycle through every object on the field with the dpad.
You aren't being held back but it is harder to be good with a ps3 vs a pc that's true. It can still be done though.
