Perks for FINAL FANTASY XI Players!

[Thulius]

... a significant discount on their FINAL FANTASY XI monthly service fees ...

I'll wait and see how significant that discount is, but I'll be playing XIV regardless and this may just be enough to lure me back in.

[Xanthe]

No need to wait. They already said it brings your FFXI base monthly fee down to $7/month.

Of course when my character is gone forever I find this out. So now I can't get the item or name Doubt my name will be taken but I hope the item isn't so great as to make me regret my decision.

Increased movement speed booties. !

[Null]

That ruined my day. Strider Boots seem better then the items you get for buying the game and FFXIII codes.

[Thulius]

No need to wait. They already said it brings your FFXI base monthly fee down to $7/month.

Ah, didn't realize the link button lead to an entirely different page. That's a pretty tempting offer, especially with those boots... But I think I can resist.

[Evanos]

Unless the item is super sweet you could always just buy the FFXIV pack super cheap on Steam and then get the item & pick your new name there. Problem solved! (unless there was a must-register before date that I didn't notice on the site).

[Null]

Says you can't be in the free trial for FFXI. Unfortunately you are forced into the free trial haha. Trying to think, if I rebuy FFXI right now, I can get in just before the release date. But dammit, do I really want to spend all that money just for some strider boots at level 1? Seems utterly amazing compared to FFXI armor. But I'm not sure what type of stats this game will have.

[Evanos]

I'm assuming that this stacks with the Collectors Edition bonus? I have an old Tiamat watching mule that I can reactivate just to take advantage of these boots and then trash after I get them.

[Hotseat]

So can I just activate my old FFXI account for 1 month and get the boots? Once I get the boots I can de-activate the account?

[Evanos]

^ this, exactly what I waned to know

[Gokulo]

Sure, but if you ever want them on another character you need to have the account activated again.

[Dagren]

I wonder if you HAVE to take the server name as your last name. I don't want Caitsith as a last name >.>

[Buddy]

I don't think you do. Seems you will have the chance to change the name after the crossover. Link to info

Subscription
If a person has both Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV accounts linked to their Square Enix Account, the fee for FFXI will be discounted from $12.95 to $7.00 per month.
The discount applies to one FFXI account for each FFXIV account. For example, if you have two FFXI accounts and 3 FFXIV accounts, you will receive two of the discounts. This offer will remain in effect until January 2011.


In-Game Item
Players that have an active Final Fantasy XI account will start their adventures in Eorzea with the special in game item: * I did not post the pic that Eorzeapedia has here but pointy Geppetto speed shoes. *

All playable characters created on the Final Fantasy XIV account will start the game with the shoes in their inventory. Note that you need to have an active Final Fantasy account linked to your Square Enix Account in order to obtain the Hermes’ Shoes.


Name Transfer
A character name used from the linked Final Fantasy XI account can be transferred to Final Fantasy XIV. Note that like the in-game item, the FFXI account must be active and have a character made.


Names will transfer into FFXIV as such: [Character Name] [FFXI World Name]ex. Fusionex on Carbuncle for FFXI would turn into “Fusionex Carbuncle” in FFXIV

[Elcura]

If I have to take the server name, mine would be... Ulmega Bahamut. I don't hate it, actually.

Time to find my FFXI discs so I can install POL. Anything to avoid updates and expansions is welcome.

[fussel]

I want a coupon to transfer my FF11 character to an EU account...

[Zee]

Of course when my character is gone forever I find this out. So now I can't get the item or name Doubt my name will be taken but I hope the item isn't so great as to make me regret my decision.

Me too, I just deleted my characters like 2 months ago

[Roranora]

Ugh.. fucking movement speed boots for this? =/ It sucks for all the people who won't be able to get them.

How do people even go about contacting SE? I can't even find a simple support email on their site or anything. I'm going to need their help (lol at that thought) if I hope to get my POL ID linked to my SE account.
