Important Reminders

• Please take care when confirming the service account to be upgraded to the PlayStation®4 version, as this process cannot be undone once complete.
• When the upgrade process is complete, you will be issued a promotionproduct code to download the PlayStation®4 version. To register this code, you must sign in on the PlayStation®4 with the same Sony Entertainment Network (SEN) account you used to play on the PlayStation®3. Registering with a new or different SEN account will prevent access to the game from the original SEN account. This may also result in complications when purchasing other products related to FINAL FANTASY XIV on the PlayStation®Store.
• Users will not receive an additional 30-day trial period by upgrading to the PlayStation®4 version.
• Users who possess multiple service accounts registered to the PlayStation®3 version must complete the upgrade process for each service account individually.

Transferring PlayStation®3 Save Data

Players will also be able to carry over configuration settings including hotbar and macro settings from the PlayStation®3 version.
