    PS3 -> PS4 Upgrade question

    I searched and couldn't find an answer to this and as much as I usually don't have problems with the Mogstation I want to know if I'm missing something.

    I am currently taking a break from 14 but recently got a PS4. Do I have to re-sub to take advantage of the free upgrade or am I missing something on the Mogstation where I can just get a code? Frankly I don't really plan on playing on the PS4 at all but I feel like a fool if I don't take advantage of the free upgrade.

    If someone could point me specifically (step-by-step this shit, assume I'm retarded) to where I should be finding the upgrade button that would be awesome.

    Edit: I don't have enough posts to reply here.

    I do play on PC which is why this isn't a huge priority.

    And thanks for the link.

    You are indeed a fool if you don't take advantage of the PS3 -> PS4 upgrade. There's no reason anyone should be playing on a PS3 unless they are too poor to afford a PS4 or a mid tier PC.

    I don't have a PS4 yet but I feel like I should totally upgrade my account while it's still free. I play on PC 99.9% of the time anyway but if it'll save me some coin. . .

    I did and I don't have a PS4 yet either. You can register the PSN code online even if you don't have a PS4. A good thing considering the code expires on 3/31.

    There's still no way to migrate macros between PC and PlayStation, right?

    None and it probably won't happen. I just played on my PS4 next to my laptop and made as close a change as possible.

    You could migrate macros between PS2, 360, and PC in XI.
    This isn't rocket science, SE.

    The inability to migrate macros is literally the only thing keeping me from buying PS4 ARR. My macro page is damn near full and I'm not taking the better part of a day to retype all that by hand.

    Is it not possible to PM yourself all your macros (or use some online notepad service)
    Login to FFXIV via PS4
    Launch browser
    Navigate to site with macros
    Right click copy, go into FFXIV, paste? (Ctrl+v if it takes keyboard commands)

    That's a lot of work lol, seems simpler just to re-type everything on PS4.

    Very sorry for necro-bumping this old thread...but I'm on the verge of crying (ok not quite) since I can't figure out a little issue:

    I bought the PS3 version of FFXIV a while back and used my 30 free days, I also bought the PS4 version (I'm a collector) and was just about to upgrade right now, but I noticed that you need the disc in the PS4 at all times. So I googled a bit, and found a solution but it doesn't quite work.

    http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen..._without_disc/

    Basically, when I delete FFXIV off my PS4, it disappears from my library. So I tried to eject the disc while installing and even though it gives me the option to download it at that point...it refers me to a different app (Netflix in this case).

    Does anyone have any idea what I can do? Worst case scenario I might have to buy the digital collector's edition...however annoying that is.

    I don't buy PS4 games on disk but

    Can you download it from there?

    https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-...00010000000000

    PS link points to canada store, so if you're not in canadaland you might need to try the US store

    Sadly, no. If you register the physical version of FFXIV on PS4 on the PSN Store (for your 30 day free period), it doesn't allow you to download a digital version...

    Update: I found a solution! I downloaded the trial version on PSN, and it works with my account. I'll come back in two weeks to confirm it still works, just in case, though. Either way, thanks for your help!
