~: Frequent Asked Questions :~

Is this game Subscription base or Free to Play or Buy to Play?

- This game is using the Subscription base where you have to pay monthly to pay.
*For information on the rates of Subscription please read below.

Is this game Region Lock?

- No, this game is not region lock, you can buy any version of the game and still play in any servers that they offer.
- However, when it comes to Accounts, say if you bought EU version of the game, you will have to register an EU account instead. Which means if you want to play on all platforms (PC, PS3 & PS4) All version need to be the same region even your account & PSN.

There is a PS3/PS4 version & PC version?

- Yes, both PS3/PS4 & PC players are playing in the same server, the unique Final Fantasy MMO is that they aim for True Cross Platform.

If i want to play on both or all platform do i need to purchase all?

- Yes, you will be required to purchase all version of the game and link all registration code to your Square Enix Account Management under the same Final Fantasy XIV service Account (More explanation about Square Enix Account Management & Service Account below).

Where do i buy the game?

Can buy via Amazon, Offgamers or your local store that sells them.

Which version do you recommend to buy?

I really recommend you EU version, why? because of Malaysia is under the service of EU Region, getting NA(US) version is very hard, and often very expensive to get unless underground connection, also you may face problem in future when you want to buy expansion and or policy change where the NA region does not accept our Credit Card/Debit Card.

As of now, if you can't find physical box/cd anywhere in your local retailer or in lowyat garage; below are the two website you can get just the Game Key.

https://www.seagm.com/

http://www.offgamers.com/


But.. don't paying in EU region is expansive?

Yes, is true, i wont lie, but for safety sake and experience from my self and others, better take EU version unless you frequent back and forth between US and MY, this is recommended for your credit card issues, perhaps.

Introduction to Armoury System
In the Armoury System, changing your adventuring style—or class—is as simple as changing what you hold in your hand.

Each class is capable of performing unique actions which are learned as you gain experience and your level rises. Furthermore, achieving a certain level of mastery in multiple classes will unlock jobs, which feature even greater specialization.

Classes are suited to those who desire versatility, as they allow the use of actions that belong to other disciplines. In contrast, jobs grant access to exclusive actions and are ideal for situations that demand well-defined roles. Which fighting style you adopt is entirely up to you.

Classes System
Eorzea is home to myriad disciplines─professions that adventurers can take up. So as to be better prepared to brave the wilds, all adventurers begin their journey as either a Disciple of War—a master of arms who lives for the call of battle—or a Disciple of Magic—an erudite researcher of all things esoteric.

Experienced adventurers can take up other martial classes to diversify their skills. If you seek more peaceful pursuits, you may consider becoming a Disciple of the Land—one who gathers and harvests Eorzea’s natural resources—or a Disciple of the Hand—one who uses these resources to craft wares and turn a profit.

Jobs System
Jobs refer to those martial paths that thrived in former times but have since fallen into disuse. Recent developments, however, have occasioned something of a revival in their popularity.

By achieving sufficient mastery in a certain class, adventurers will be able to begin undertaking the mantle of a related job. For instance, gladiators may rise up as paladins, stout swordsmen who shield comrades from harm; thaumaturges may aspire to become black mages, masters of offensive magic; while conjurers may find a new calling as white mages, masters of healing.

The foremost appeal of jobs is the unparalleled degree of specialization they offer. Their potential is best realized in party situations, where having well-defined roles is the key to success. There can be no doubt that jobs shine the brightest in the company of others.

Yes, you do not need to buy ARR because all 1.0 players are getting free ARR copies.

Unless u were thinking of the early access is different story but again you will need to get NA pre order code instead if you are using NA account.

haha, is pay 2 play. SUbscription monthly, below RM50/mo, around RM37~RM48 depends on our exchange rate.

If you are a 1.0 Normal Edition, there is only 2 ways to get CE attach to your 1.0 account.

Get a PS3 CE.

or

Wait for SE to offer digital upgrade to CE.


You cannot put a PC ARR CE on your 1.0 Acct.

yes.

>< Since i have not complete the guide yet, i'll answer you here


you can buy from Local Retailer shops like Impulse & HeavyArms, Qisahn, and many more once i got the list i'll list em here.

Server will be either Tonberry or Masamune, you can check the v9 1st page about it.

Is a JP server, but this two server is the largest Englsih Speaking server, have majority of the Oceania/SEA players.

Game is region free, just the Account & Subscription/payment is region Lock, meaning that if you bought R2/EU version your account must be EU version, and Expansion also EU version.

Once you buy the game be it NA/EU/JP, you can choose any server NA/EU or JP.

JP server not lagging average ping of 100ms to 170ms.

It is impossible to link Asia PSN with EU version of the game, you will need to link a EU PSN to EU Version of the game, and US PSN with US version of the game.

EU PSN if you bought the EU version

im not sure if you could get it but try here http://uk.gamesplanet.com/buy-download-pc-...rn-3923-37.html

Not really, what i know is that unless that 18 digit code is a Early Access Code, the 20 digit code i know is only can be entered tomorrow.

Fast fix added for early access users for adding game activation code

Please read it up! Ill make a better one

If it's credit/debit card then yes, they auto-renewal

Is there Crysta Option in your Mog Station?

Yes if you buy an NA copy, register for a NA Account, vice versa. For CC well, there game time card and Crysta. Crysta is only supported in few country, one being United Stated & United Kingdom is the easiest to know. JP is also one of them to have Crysta Support.

there is Game Time Card for all three region.

if you want to continue on NA account, yes, need to buy NA version.


As for Game Time Card & Crysta... best just stick to Game Time card. more easier.

For this case.. please consuled your Retailer & SE Support. i dont think we Community can help anymore than that.
