Hi all sifu here, I would like to try out this awesome game in my PS4, so which 1 should I buy? The US version or EU version? Or both version wont be too much different about the latency?

Based on this http://www.arrstatus.com/
If the IP is correct, both NA and EU servers are located at the same place? Both latency is the same for me, both versions are very hard to buy from PSN, because it only accepts US credit card and US paypal, UK credit card and UK paypal, I really running out of idea how to get it except buy a physical copy from play-asia website, Im confused rclxub.gif please enlighten me cry.gif

EU: http://www.play-asia.com/final-fantasy-xiv...en-70-23j4.html
NA: http://www.play-asia.com/final-fantasy-xiv...en-70-23hm.html

BTW, both NA and EU are very hard to buy, both doesn't support local credit card, the only way I can buy the game is buy from play-asia, get a BD copy of the game, so I don't know which 1 should I get.

le sigh, it seems you just copy and paste, answer is lie on first page, and read everything about EU/NA/JP.

Other way to get the game is via... well shops.. dry.gif weird that you can't buy via PSN when i could.. maybe you can uhmmm try PSN cards?

I do read about EU/NA/JP, JP has the most lowyat players and is the best ping for us.

About the NA/EU, you mentioned that it is easier to buy expansion in EU and US might change policy that do not accept non-US credit card. In my situation, both EU and US do not accept my (MY)paypal and my (MY)credit card. So I see no different.

So now let's say I choose EU, I create UK PSN account and buy this http://www.play-asia.com/playstation-netwo...en-70-4jpt.html

Then i redeem the code with my UK PSN account and start download the game, then I have to buy PS Plus for UK network and buy the SE monthly subscription for EU. Every month I have to pay PS Plus and SE right?

You're confused between PSN store & SquareEnix subscription.

yaya, at first I was confused with the EU/NA client thingy, but now I understand that no matter which version I buy, I can play at any servers (NA/EU/JP)

please check my question again, as I have edited it

EDIT: you mean US SE might change policy and do not accept non-US credit card anymore?

Hi, im not sure about best method for you to buy the game but..
It doesnt really matter which client you choose to access JP server (best ping). The client version is tied to your SE Account (where you pay subs) and your PSN account, and this will affect your payment methods.

Example: EU game + EU SE Game Account + EU PSN

How you get the EU game code is pretty much up to what method you think is best for you. I bought my physical EU PS3 game from zavvi at the time and just tied it to my EU SE account and EU PSN.

Ok, I think I will try to get the game via this http://www.play-asia.com/playstation-netwo...en-70-4jpt.html

So the EU SE subscription does accept our (MY) credit card right?

Ok, I just found out that I do not need to buy EU PS Plus to play FF14, all I need is just EU SE monthly subscription.
