Callin Fafnir there at the end. That forest/swampy area at the end reminiscent of Dragon's Aery.

From Bayohne (so I guess I was actually wrong):

The Square Enix Europe store will continue to add new options for FFXIV: ARR in the coming days (including the physical versions!) so please stay tuned! Alternatively, there are retailers that are currently taking pre-orders for those as well!

Looks identical to me.

That is actually really surprising, but awesome as well.

Our page does say "packaging may vary from final release" but the only differences I see are the book cover (I like ours better), and they appear to get a Blu-ray case for Waning along with a standard-ed game case inside (like how the 1.0 CE is packaged), whereas the NA packaging shows a special CE cover for the game case, no separate case for Waning.

Also *maybe* (but unlikely) different art on the keyfobs.

**Gokulo** · 2013-05-23 12:25

They should give something else instead of Token now that they released the software. What do I need 3rd Token for!

That's not a plushie, it's a minion. The Moogle Cap and Cait Sith minion are bonuses to anyone who pre-orders ARR.

Did anyone see that you can multibox with only one account now, I just woke up maybe i'm reading this wrong:

Will I be able to play more than one character at the same time?

Yes, but it depends on what platform you would like to play on.
If you wish to play multiple characters at the same time, please refer to the explanations below and ensure you have a copy of the game and registration code for each character you wish to play simultaneously.

■ Windows only: To play three characters simultaneously
- A Square Enix account
- A copy of the Windows version
- Two registration codes obtained from the product or the "FINAL FANTASY XIV Service Center"
*You can register up to eight registration codes per Square Enix account.
*The "FINAL FANTASY XIV Service Center" website will be available after the game is launched. Please note that the website can only be accessed by those who purchased FINAL FANTASY XIV and registered a service account.

■ Windows + PlayStation 3: To play a character from each a version simultaneously
- A Square Enix account
- A copy of the Windows version
- A copy of the PlayStation 3 version
*You can register up to eight registration codes per Square Enix account.
*Please create separate service accounts for the Windows version and the PlayStation 3 version of FINAL FANTASY XIV. You will not be able to play at the same time if you register the codes under the same service account.

■PlayStation 3 only: To play three characters simultaneously
Unfortunately, you cannot play multiple characters in this situation.

Please click here if you wish to play with your friends and family using multiple accounts. Also, please visit this page if you have pre-ordered the PlayStation 3 version of FINAL FANTASYXIV: A Realm Reborn.

Yeah, this is some seriously interesting info. I wonder if they fall under one subscription (that would be almost too good, lol).

Yeah. I saw this. Looks like a pretty good setup for families or people who like to two box.

The release website is saying no though, which now makes me confused.

Logging into the Same Account on both Windows and PlayStation 3

Customers who own a copy of FFXIV version 1.0 and wish to use their account on the PlayStation 3 version will need to purchase a copy of the PlayStation 3 version. It will then be possible to use your characters on either platform by tying your existing service account to the PlayStation 3 version upon launching it for the first time. However, please note that your account will only be able to log into one platform at a time.

It was kinda like this in 1.0, my wife and I at the time shared one SE account, when logging in it would ask which service to use, FFXIV 1 or FFXIV 2, we both could play using the same SE account.

It would be under one sub, but will charge per service.

The difference with the PS3 is that you can actually link it to the same service account so you can use the same character on both.

I think that's for the scenario where you register under the same service account. The multi-boxing article clearly mentions creating separate service account.

**xopher** · 2013-05-23 12:38

You have to have a registration code for each character you want to play simultaneously so that doesn't sound much different

**Shuichi** · 2013-05-23 12:42

SE also announced a new YouTube channel that will be broadcasting with additional content during E3.

Interesting stuff:

■Unfortunately, you can only register a single product code (a code that comes with every copy of the PlayStation 3 version) to a Square Enix account. Please do not purchase more than one copy if you are planning to register them under the same Square Enix account.

The only way for you to create multiple service accounts with the PlayStation 3 version is to purchase additional registration codes through the “FFXIV Service Center” website which will be available after launch. Please note that you will need an active FINAL FANTASY XIV service account in order to access this website.
