Yes, PS3 owners who upgrade will be allowed in early access.
It's $13-15 a month, and the first 30 days are free. Every three months there will be a huge content patch (almost a mini expansion) with a full fledged expansion next year.

Managed to reach Level 10 before deciding to close up shop. Being a Pugilist is pretty damn fun. Also helps that the Guildmaster is pretty mellow and funny too. Now the waiting begins once again. Anyone plan on making a new OT for the PS4 version, or would it best to stick with the one in use in the Community section?

Thanks, folks. That's just a tad too expensive for my tastes. It's a pity because I think this game is really good, but it's not '$30 up front and $15 a month' good. $210 altogether (for the first year)

Yeah Pugilist was my fav as well.
Does anyone have a clue when or IF this will be on the PSN EU store for pre order?
had loads of tanking fun with my marauder, gotta have this game.
My GF was playing one, i liked the combo style of this class.

Is there any way of making R1 quick press only switch between two predefined crossbars? It was fine when I only had to active crossbars, but now it's a mess. Also, is 4 the maximum number of message logs that can be open?
Really tempted to grab a vita so I can remote play this in bed.

You can. It's called Set Selection and it's in the Character Configuration options under the Hotbar page.
That's great, I messed around with the settings but most of the stuff there is poorly explained.
Also, I think I'm gonna use the PS3 this week just for crafting. Can't give it up.
It depends on how you play..... for me, FFXIV is the only game I play right now, so $15 a month for all of my gaming is pretty cheap..... if you want to play a couple hours here and there, among a bunch of other games, yeah, I could see where the $ adding up might make you think twice.

Yeah, MMO's tend to take over your gaming habits. $12.99 a month is a fucking steal for as much as I play FFXIV. And I love that there's still a traditional MMO around that's not been infected by microtransactions. Even WoW is nasty about this now.
Square-Enix should be commended for this game's pricing model.

I pre-ordered last month and didn't get anything. Time to check my email I guess...

My first month is about to expire, so I'd like to know whether I should go with the standard sub or an entry one. What's the point of having more than 1 character? Since you can level any class you want, I don't see much point in playing an alt. Am I missing something here? And does 8 characters per service account mean? What's a service account and how is that different from the previous limit? And again what would be the point of that?
Steer me in the right direction GAF.
I just pre-ordered from them today, and they sent me an email with the promotional code.
Really, there is no point. If you sub for x monthes at a time in advance you'll get some veteran rewards based on how many consecutive days you've subbed for. Question is do you want them now, or later? Entry subs are 30 increments only. Having 8 characters means you can do the same (locked) content 8 times if you wish.

Are they worthwhile? My sub ends today and I was thinking of resubing by the time the PS4 version launches, but if it's something cool I might do it today.
It should have stopped by now, and yes, there's early access to people transferring the license from PS3.
Wait, is the beta still on? I thought it ended this morning.

Have they posted directions yet on how we will do this transfer, or how it works?
Not the specifics. However it will (and this is just a guess based upon how they've handled stuff so far) most likely involve linking your SE account with your PSN account on the PS3 version if you haven't already done so, then loading up the PS4 version to complete the process.
Yup it stopped working, I wanted to play minutes ago but it says maintenance, time to activate my PS3 version.
I own PS3 version (physical), will do free upgrade to PS4 version.
So that I can continue playing at my buddy's place on his PS3 time to time, I'm thinking of re-buying the PS3 version some day off the store, and adding PS3 access to my account again. (Hopefully on a sale)
Anyone see a problem with this idea?
Edit: Hmmm... online store doesn't give me an option to buy regular version... only the Digital Collectors for $60... I hope that changes once I do the PS4 upgrade...

FYI, the vet rewards aren't consecutive. For example, if you sub for 30 days, take a month off and then sub for another 30 days, you'll get the 60-day veteran reward at the end. You never "lose" time.
The $12.99 sub is fine. There's literally no reason to have the other one unless you want multiple characters on the same server. Why anyone would want that, I have no idea... the fact that I can be every class on a single character is the best aspect of FFXIV! The 8 character limitation means you can have 8 characters total, they just have to be on different servers.
There are no other limitations with the $12.99 sub. Same veteran rewards, same number of retainers, same everything. It's absolutely the way to go IMO.
No, that is a sound plan, I think SE confirm that it works that way.
Yes, you can transfer the license till the end of the year.

Yes, in fact you have to. PS4 transfers can only be initiated after you've activated the game and ran it at least once on PS3.
I'm very happy you asked this. I've never played an MMO, but I'm excited for FFXIV on the PS4 and am very intimidated. All this beginner stuff helps. And thanks to the rest of you for the answers.
They really blew up the default size during the beta... but you can scale it all back down the way you like.
If it was a side-effect of getting the larger dialogue bubble, it was WAY worth it... PS4 hud >>>>> PC hud now thanks to this. (I play all versions on my living room TV.)

If I preorder FFXIV for the PS4 from Amazon UK will they email me out an early access code? I have seen people saying Amazon email them straight out but don't know if that's just the US as the UK Amazon mentions nothing about early access.

Worth reminding people that the PS3 version is upgradable to the PS4 version for free. You will need to have installed it on a PS3 and signed in once to activate. With the PS3 version available for £7.99 in store in Game it's a bit of a no brainer if you have access to a PS3 too.

Send me a friend request I'm new too so we can figure some of it out together. That goes for anyone else as well.

You do not need to do anything. The bonuses will be yours on release day.

Exception being the early access code. You need to pre-order an actual PS4 version to begin playing on the 11th.
My Amazon pre-order will be canceled promptly on March 11. 😇

Sorry if this has been answered already, but how do I transfer my account? I've owned the PS3 version since release but no longer have it installed, do I do it through there or can I do it through the Mogstation?
molnizzle

I believe it'll be through MogStation. S-E hasn't outlined exactly how it will work, other than that you can start doing it on March 11th and you'll need to have logged in to the PS3 version at least once.
