---- Solved ----

Hello all!

I'm planning to get FFXIV on STEAM as a gift, does anyone know if once I actually get it, can I activate it and play it in Malaysia?... Only if you have full experience with this please. If you're just guessing in any way please avoid giving any input.

Avoid steam version

The game is actually available for purchase from Singapore region, you can activate it just fine if you buy from there. Buying from SG will get you a US version.

Thank you for the input! I have gotten FFXIV EU working on steam without any VPNs and such, it works just like any other game, without any stated region locks. Even got Heavensward immediately lol..

My IGN is Xevaria Invictus ;would appreciate endgame tips later XD Closing thread.

Also...steam version expansion doesn't have region specific, so you can buy it from anywhere and activate it just fine.

For some reason EU version seems to be cheaper for both the game and subscription if you buy from third-party websites or resellers.

Mine is EU version non-steam (1x PC license + 1x PS4 license - each license purchased separately but recurring subscription only need pay one-for-all).

I setup my SE account in UK and no issues paying subs using maybank CC. I set auto-bill every 180 days coz that's the cheapest.

avoid steam version (important)

Why is that? then how do I go about it to play from PC? Thx

Ya, any guidance for this?
thinking start play from PC.

buy digital download from square enix store. bought all mine there. for monthly topup i just use paypal

credit card can?
the stormblood is extension of heavensword ?
in order to play stormblood need to have ARR,heavensword & stormblood?

credit card can. yes, u start from a realm reborn which hv max cap lv at 50, then heavensward max cap lv 60, then the soon to come stormblood max cap lv70 wit two new classes.

usually SE hv discount when u buy all together. i've been playing since ver 1.0, tht time interface still so so n they really improved a lot. its a very nice game with one of the most frenly community i ever seen. no toxic players or wat so ever. join japanese server tonberry if u can.

nowadays i hardly go raid or anything, just login, walk around relax n chat with my neighbors or random ppl in town.

quartre88 when wanna buy ff online?

lel i cannot transfer character to tonberry, all full liao.

i think im in one of the old server stuck there

transfer on weekdays midnight

Which server are u at? Masamune?
Not sure if Tonberry worth the effort or I'm fine being in Masamune

does it costs to transfer your chars to new server? Are you paying to EU or NA server btw? I believe payment is at the Mog Station under Square Enix website?

I'm currently trying out the free trial to however far it can bring me, and it's not too bad of a game so far.

If what you say about buying whole bundle at a cheaper price, I reckon it will be when Stormblood is out

i forgotvliao since i dindnt care mucj about serv.

welp since ure there i go crearte new one there at least got kawansoon

I'm hoping for some Lowyat community in Masamune, joined there after reading the pinned guide since Tonberry wasn't accessible.

Fortunately I see plenty of players running around the first town I started.

will try to play new toon tonight in masamune.

go bkfast and enjoy first, long weekend muhehehe

U get one time transfer free, most players r in Tonberry server. I'm paying to JP version. N yes at mogstation for everything regarding payment or transfer server n so on.

Last time when Heavensward released they got bundle cheaper not sure bout this time.

If u wan non toxic, nice storyline, nice graphics mmorpg then I can't think of anything else other than ff d. But try to join Tonberry server if possible coz that's where everyone is in.

SWTOR and The Secret World is also has good community and nice story. FFXIV has the best ping for us in asia region though.
Also...the epic cutscenes at the end of Realm Reborn main story made me....

Hmm never try those coz after coming from wow, ro, those game ff is by far the best for me. Truly a place tht I can just go in n relax. Need square enix turn this into vr

here, this is so fcking worth it...stormblood expansion itself also 39.99 d...u get all for 59.99

Wow. thanks for link. Still trying to find time to get to level 35 on the free trial
can't find info on how long is the offer going for? Any idea?
Wonder if post purchase of pre-order can activate on my current trial account, reckon should be ok

I believe it is going to be free till level 35 without any time constraint, permanently

not playing with most malaysian community in tonberry server probably a big loss for you especially new players. i hope u can keep playing until the end of heavensward

Anyone know how can I purchase this? cant seem to click the button

I can click the pre-order button, but it just go to SE store page with stormblood product, which only has stormblood standard, stormblood collector's edition, for ps4 and pc, physical and download. Complete edition won't be on the store until SB release I think, that's why most store selling it only has it as pre-order and those don't come with pre-order bonus (at least what I think based on the nature of complete edition)

how long it take SE to validate the purchase eh?
