PSA: Registering a PS3 copy of XIV on a fresh account does not give you PC access

[Gokulo]

Thanks! Didn't even think of that

Are there any places where people are giving away or trading extra buddy codes from 1.0?

So if i buy this on PS3 i wont be able to log in on PC? PC version is sold out and i have the game installed on my pc already just need a code.

So, how exactly do you register your PS3 registration code coming off of Early Access? If I follow the little booklet thing that comes with the game, it says to go to Account Management and then Redeem Codes. Is this correct? I ask because anytime I enter my code there it says that the code is either incorrect or invalid.

Edit: Never mind. My "O" was a fucking "D." It doesn't look anything like a "D." I only tried it because someone else on gamefaqs said that their "D" was actually an "O."

If you are a 1.0 you have the PC version free

If you are a new player and just bought the PS3 version then yes you cannot play on PC till you buy it on Pc

No, coz you got the client from Beta 4 , which given you two links . One to PC and a redeem code (link) for PS3.

What I did was just redeem ps3 and download PC from link.
When it was Beta 4, I always hoping on ps3 and PC to test the new features, and or to find if there is any bug I'll come across while playing.

Now I'm sincerely hope that ps3 physical product will give a registration code which is possible for me to register it on my SE management account on the PC saved I had. (I know it is a messed up ; ; )

Worst I will have to buy the PC digital version and reject the physical goodies.

Follow up this, I have rejected the PS3 and buy a normal PC version.
Good thing is I can upgrade my normal PC version to CE digitally on Mogstation management. :D

Everything works fine for me, and no... I can't play on PS3 with PC registered. My PS3 can go to rest in peace in my store room now.

Short version: I'm a 1.0 CE/Legacy player. So I need to buy my own 2nd copy of a PS3 version to also be able to play this on PS3?

Long Version:
I'm a 1.0 Legacy player. Even had the CE. So, for all the Betas, I was pretty much automatically in. I played on PC.

My wife made a character in the first PS3 beta as well, and we pre-ordered her a PS3 CE. She's all set up now. The PS3 version came with a 12-digit code which she entered on the PS3 at "Redeem Codes" and that allowed her to sign in. She didn't even need to install from the disc or download off the PSN store, since she had the P4 beta on there still (which works).

However, when I go to log in on my PSN ID (we each have our own), I'm told there's no service account registered with mine. But how do I do this? I don't have a 12-digit code. So I need to buy my own 2nd copy of a PS3 version to play this on PS3? Or is there another way through Mogstation or something?

I know it was thought this might have applied to Early Access, but is this an ongoing/permanent thing from SE? Pretty crummy if so. :/

You are correct in your suspicions. Unlike XI, each license only applies to a single account on the system it was purchased for, although it was implied that PS3 & PS4 will share licenses.

Also, to emphasise this -
Once you login the SE account on PSN account.
They are bound permanent.
Therefore , you cannot login another SE account on same PSN account.
Careful with this...
Cheers!
