Some updates or correction here, if you have SE trial or non steam trial, you can convert it to Steam full retail if you plan to play on steam instead but not vise versa. Thanks to Akash Sonu for this information
@@CosmoCorban you can try to check this out www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/iopt1n/transfering_pc_free_trial_to_steam/ basically you can convert from trial to any retail platform but once you do, there is no turning back and you will need to buy all the expansion of the game in the future for that respective platform.
@@intothefantasy thanks, i was looking for any info regarding moving from non-steam trial to steam retail and there's was alot of contrary comments over the years
Yea is consider very old system and have no updated yet since launch of the game. The only thing blizzard is doing good is the buying system i would say and this was not copy by square enix lol
I bought the complete edition for 40 bucks with all expansions on console and after a while I needed to move it to Pc and omg was I confused when it came to buying any of it. Thanks for this video !!
I just saw that if you use the launcher, all you have to do is click on Switch to the full version. Then a page opens, everything is preset there and there are large symbols for buy full version and enter the code. They worked on the side looks different than in the video.
MMORPGs will always be confusing for me. You pay for a game to pay monthly to play it. I understand having expansions but if its subscription based why do you need the gsme. It's like you need to buy netflix so you can pay them monthly to watch.
What a struggle this stuff is. FFXIV was the ONLY game that I could not access again after a long hiatus. I spent over a year unable to access the expansion on my account. Multiple calls over the year + timeframe and not 1 time did I ever get a support person who had any idea what to do. I ended up figuring it out myself - super frustrating. Now, I'm dealing with the recruit a friend nonsense. I get a code, create my son a new Trial account, and now have no idea how to use the code ... sigh. There's 1 dang video out there that shows how to do it, except when I log into my son's account, go to the Account tab in the mog station, and there is no option to enter a code anywhere. Boom done. I really wish this stuff was easier, or a real effort was made to explain this stuff properly. This game has been around for years now. Someone from Square needs to be replaced if this stuff is still not easy to understand. When your support has no idea even how to match an expansion with an account, your support is an embarrassment. How does no one in charge notice this...?
If i am not mistaken, you cant recruit anyone with trial account, so basically you need an account that already registered with a valid game code but without any subscription yet even you have a free 1 month gametime, you still can enter the code for recruit a friend as long there is no subscription at all. This is because maybe Square enix old trial system is tied up with 14day trial time limit and currently for the new trial, maybe they did not changed it yet.
@@intothefantasy Thanks for that information. I've been on the phone with Support for 44 minutes now, on hold for the 2nd time as support has no idea how Recruit a friend works.
Not only that, but the official site itself doesn't give instructions on how to actually use the code under the "recruit a friend" section. It's crazy how no one official notices this stuff... Thanks again man!
@@mron4161 am i right in this case? as in you will need to have a retail game register in your account to use the code, free trial is not allowed to use the code right?
I had this exact same problem! God, what a pain. I got to lvl 12 on the free play through steam but steam was charging full price for the full game so I had to start again. Gotta love their titles though.
@@phc3165 I was getting the error code !2501 with 7 emails. As of now, I'm still trying to figure it out since I recently bought this from steam $20. I linked my steam account with SE, but I still can't log in to play this game. So I made the region where I'm at (Japan). I can't read Mandarin but as soon I try to put in the trial cod, it didn't work saying it can't be a different region code. I tried the app to log in with my Japanese account and I can't get on that. Like Idk what else to do. I'm definitely not gonna buy this from the SE website and be in the same situation. that'll be $43 waisted for nothing.
I just sent them a lengthy email about how shitty their website and buying systems are. Hopefully more people complain because it is the worst i have ever seen. especially from a title this huge.
yea i agree as well, hope they can take action soon, previously i have few friends having problem as well while buying the game and causes them to waste money since they brought the wrong region ones and can't use the code
I have a question. I’m still playing the free trial and am far from finishing it, but because I saw the game was in discount I chose to buy it. Once I unlock my activation key, do I have a time limit to use it or can I continue playing the free trial for a while more and use the activation key whenever I want to ? Great video by the way, really appreciate it.
You can buy the game now first and keep the key. Wait until you are done heavensward and decide to proceed only use the key. I believe there is no expiry date for that code you brought. Personally from my experience, i did brought the key during discount and use it later after 2 months on my friends account and still use able
I bought a 70 dollar collectors edition and I am stuck at a login page can't get my money back can't play the game so I'll never EVER buy anything SQEX again. Fuck that company
I tried to buy endwalker and it wont let me for like 3 days. None of my cards will go through. Even though i used mogstation with the same cards. The square store has 3 people that run it and its innexcusable. Im buying the right edition, for the right platyform and the store refuses to use any card.
I bought endwalker on PS4 and it won’t let me transfer my character to the full version. Heck my app keeps saying I’m on the free version still for some dumb reason..
@@chuganoga1908 dog, i used three different cards, 4 different browsers, my phone and my work internet and nothing lets me purchase from the site. its broken they dont know how to make a store lol
@@Cheezeblade lol dude this is my third time going back to FF 14 and every time I get back into this damn game their site always gives me problems bro.. hey but i recently found out that in order to upgrade from free trial you have to buy the starter edition in order to play the full game then you can purchase the expansions. Not sure if you’re on free trial still but I just thought I spread the word on that because it took me hours to figure it out. I think their site is busted right now bro but when I went on there earlier this morning it wasn’t giving me the same problems I was having last night. You should try again soon or if not just try it in the AM maybe it’ll work then.
@@Cheezeblade i originally was gonna stay on free trial for aslong as I could because the Realm Reborn Part of the game sucks imo but dog you can’t even wait in the Queue if you’re on free trial which I think is kinda BS so now I’m gonna have to pay because who the hell knows how long this games Q is gonna be screwed for.
Want to play this game from SEA region is such a hassle. i will just play if this game is available and can be purchased easily for SEA player. if not i just skip it. with my age, i don't have time to research this and that just for purchasing a game. we ain't got time for that.
If they think it's hard to buy this game try buying this game when your country isn't even listed. I had to fake my address and use 4 different credit cards and fake my address just to buy the god damn game.
Never in my life have I ever went through so much just to play a game, started out with a greyed out username that would not let me change it.. to now I cant even purchase the game without jumping through a million hoops... I want to play the game so bad but with as much as I have been through already I am having second thoughts about it.
is actually not that complicated if you just avoid from steam and register a trial account on the website with the correct region and get the game later on the correct region well sounds complicated lol
I bought the game from square Enix but when I try to play it, it says my username and password are wrong when I try to get new password, it did nothing, they sent no email to me, and would not let me back into my account. I tried everything it told me to do, none of it worked. they stole my money.
Thanks for the information.. its very informative :) may i ask something sir, im currently on a free trial and the game is having a discount right now... So basically can I buy the game right now while it is on discount, but redeem it later after i have had enough with my free trial ?
yes you can, i don't think there is any expiring date for the code you brought if not mistaken, but then, i tried this way as well previously, i brought the code during discount and i use the code in like 2 months later and is still working, Personally, i am not sure about the expiring date but technically there should not since is yours after brought
Sorry for question, but i just want to be confident. If i had a free trial account that was registered through the square enix account, i can buy the game only from their site? I cant buy it from the steam and then link it?
you cant buy it from steam and link to your trial account that was registered through square enix account, steam platform must always stays in steam platform in this case
@@intothefantasy your welcome! Please keep doing more videos like this. Would help a lot of people to see a steam free trial to Steam retail and Non steam free trial to Steam retail process too. SE has needlessly complicated this process.
So I made the mistake of setting up my free trial account in the US region when in reality I live in the EU. Is it possible for me to buy the game from the US store, so in theory I should get the correct region code? Though I still need to give an American address that won't be accurate, would that be a problem in any way? I just need a digital PC download to upgrade from trial btw. Update: Just bought the game through the Mog Station and it worked without any issue!
I bought the game on Square enix Site. I was using the Square enix site version of the trial not steam. When i go to mog station It says Give registration code and I was never given one. I was only given an activation code any help? Video was unclear
Getting the version from square enix platform is the safest way I think. I heard many people have had compatibility problem with the Steam version like to play with others and so on :p
I’ve been playing for years and just tried to set my friend up with an account and it it took me like 2 hours to purchase and start the download and I couldn’t even figure out how to use the recruit a friend feature. I had had to receive and verify 4 different emails and set up 2 types of SE accounts. Whoa
@@deadno I think there will be discount soon again before endwalker comes out maybe in couple of months, for now, you can enjoy the game content with leveling some other jobs to 60 first and slowly enjoy the game until then
So I tried to start playing FF14 so I made my account and downloaded the game and I can’t even login. It tells me my username and password is incorrect and I just made my account… idk what I’m doing wrong
where did you created your account at? is it from the URL in my description for free trial? and did you receive a code to activate your account from email something like that?
@@xDSxTwistedd please make sure that you are registering at the correct place for the trial and tried to login on mogstation with that account to check whether the account is registered correctly?
@@intothefantasy doing it on my phone fixed it. This video was actually great. I have everything complete now but how do i actually play the game lol. Dont see where to download ot
@@xDSxTwistedd www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/ you can download here but might have some issue during the launch, will hit an error about registering your key but that can be solved by modifying a file in the client side, you can google that solution with the error message i believe
Why I can't play the game if I pay for it!?!? 🤨 This is the worst thing I had ever seen on Gaming history but I like the game And wanna play it again... Theres a literal free trial that says play until lvl 60 why I can play after using that!?
So I download a free trial via steam, and when I want to upgrade my account, an error window appeared saying that the content isn't available in your region... I live in indonesia by the way, and I create a Singapore based square enix account.. and I figured out that only one account works for one free trial...
They really don't want my money do they. Went to the website and tried to get the free trial. Struggled with account creation for 4 or 5 hours. I finally got sent a confirmation key and when entered the site gives me an error i205 or something. Tried 3 different web browsers and 2 different emails. I give up
are you registering in the wrong region? that i205 error if not mistaken referring to vpn usage to register or trying to register to a region that your current IP address is not with.
Thank you for the video. Is it possible to only purchase Stormblood (EU) at the moment? I want to take my time with the content and level various jobs before going into the recent stuff, however i want to unlock red mage so the free trial does not do it for me. Do i have to purchase the full collection for 40 bucks?
you can just direcly purchase the latest expansion, it will include stormblood as well for you. Means buying latest expansion endwalker will give you access to all the previous expansion
I bought it used them I bought used again then I bought the game but lost my old account so it linked to my old account and now I want to play again and I've already spent 100$ on a game I've played for 5 minutes
So im currently on ps4 and I have the full version of the game but im planning on switching over to pc, will i be able to keep my account or would I have to start over
Hi John, I have been looking everywhere for some explanation. I already had a Steam Free Trial running. There was this Square-Enix Members page where they offer Steam account linkage, and I linked my Steam account to SE members. Should I buy the game, do I buy it from the Square-Enix store or via Steam? Thank you!
hi! i would really like to play it but i don't know if use steam or square enix, i am one of thoese person who like to have everything on steam.. but people always recomend to use square so idk what to do, please help
if you don't mind answering, do i have to make a new gmail account or new square enix account if i want to play on windows if i already have the steam version?
there is no differences in the version in terms of content, u can get the steam if you prefer the steam environment but in terms of sales, i think you should know usually when steam do their sales by now
@@intothefantasy awesome for clearing that up with me! I spent like 2 hours today trying to get the free trial since I thought they had a trial with no time limit up to level 50 or 60, but I couldn't get it to work for me on steam or se. Does that fact that I have used a 14 day free trial back in 2020 affect me from the other free trial?
@@Svabby yes it is possible it might affect from your previous 14days trial because that was the previous trial modal from Square enix. This might also flag your account already expire with the trial and not able to let you use the same account to do the new trial i recommend you to create a new account if that is the case
I bought game time and they charged me and everything. Then when i got an email it said your order has been canceled, and didn’t get my money back. wtf
I managed to create an account and play… once on free trial… since then I can’t log in anymore all worlds are full and you can’t wait in queue for a free trial version so yeah………. Can’t even really try the game actually
i think you can give it a try later, maybe next month if you can wait. The current situation with endwalker release, square enix need to prioritize the paying customer first
In my opinion the payment should be available in he store for console players, It always half & half when paying for my sub but this time I paid for a subscription the payment went through but I didn’t get my subscription but amount of money I spent is gone along.
everytime I try to click on that "upgrade to full version" - being in free trial - it doesn't let me log in anywhere and gives me error, which is why I am wondering if I can buy it via pc for PS4.
@@01Fran10 I upgraded through the Mog station, And got my sub paid there for a while but I got fed up with the constant transaction error just trying Renew my damn sub so I switched from the mog station to Square Enix store, If I were you I’d only the mog station upgrade or buy other cool stuff there & for renewing you sub go to the Square Enix store you’ll lose money trying to do it on the mog station. Mog station charges 20 for 30 days But the Square Enix store Charges 30 bucks for 60 days *Update* A word of warning if you upgrade through steam you’ll have to get all you’re subs renewed through steam.
So I completed the free trial on PS4 but haven't spent any money on the game yet, can I transfer my free trial save data to a PC? Or should I just forget about it, start from scratch and buy the complete edition on PC instead?
as i recall, free trial will lock your platform, which means if you started a free trial account on PS4, it will stay on PS4 and you cant use it on the PC. If you want to try on PC, you need to create another account but is going to be a fresh start. Another way is to buy the game but you might need to buy on both platform for your current trial account, PC and PS4.
Hey buddy thanks for your video💙, What If I wanted to play with USA players instead of Australian players even though I live in Australia. Should I still select EU? And will it lag if I select USA region?
just select the USA data center in the game and join the server normally. Your account region wont impact which server you going to play but it will impact which region game you are going to buy. You are free to select any region server to play in game, at the main screen of the game, you can choose data center and make sure you google out to find which data center is for USA
@@intothefantasy thank you so much John for your reply, ok i think i understand it all, just last thing i cant work out. should i buy just ENDWALKER exp instead of SHADOWBRINGERS and then end walker? because i see if i get shadowbringers i get HEAVENSWARD and STORMBLOOD but these arnt exp just songs is that right? And if i buy ENDWALKER i get SHADOWBRINGERS and STORMBLOOD, it says exp packs but when i search STORMBLOOD it says audio. anyways please help if you can, will be very gratefull :) this game has been the thing missing in my life for so many years
@@lukeboccaccio6257 Since endwalker is coming next month, i suggest you to buy endwalker instead but if you preorder now, you wont get all the expansion prior before endwalker yet until endwalker is release. If you can wait for endwalker release then buy endwalker. if you need to play the other expansion currently now such as Stormblood or Shadowbringer and dont want to wait, you can buy Shadowbringers directly but this will cost you endwalker later as well. the thing about preordering Endwalker now is, you wont get the Expansions until Endwalker is release, so preordering now wont give you the expansion now. do consider these point, technically is better to directly get Endwalker and continue your trial account gameplay slowly. Even you completed heavensward content, you can just sit back and relax until next month for endwalker to release. This way, you can save up money instead of buying Shadowbringers now and Endwalker again.
yes, the complete edition includes endwalker as well. just get that package and you will be fine and not to mentioned, it comes with a 30days free game time as well
Okay so… I had the free trial version on steam and uninstall the game to play something else. Then today I had bought the full game but just the starter pack on steam and they gave me a code but it said it wasn’t the same region so I’m a bit lost Should I have redownloaded the trial and then bought the full version from the trial app?
If I'm from Japan and my region is in The Americas (US) would that cost any problem when I purchase the game on the US site using my Japan IP address and credit/debit cards?
I dont think there is any problem in this case, for me, my account is in UK but i am accessing from my place here which is outside of UK and i am still able to buy the game
I'm still confusing about this one, if I already downloaded the free trial on steam, can I able to upgrade it after buying the full version on SE website and enter the key code in Mogstation ?
if you are playing on steam free trial, please continue buy the game from steam, dont buy from the SE website, is completely different platform as steam is a standalone platform even they are for windows pc
@@needsauce1844 try to go to the steam ffxiv trial page and see if there is a NOTICE there saying which region of steam account you need to have. I suspect your current region on steam does not have the game but only free trial which is why you can't buy the game. Without much hassle, i will avoid getting the game play on Steam, just go for the regular SE account
hai. so i already create and account from free trial at steam, but i couldn't upgrade it to full version on steam because it said the game is not in my region. before i purchased the game from mogstation, i wanna know if i can use the code to upgrade my game to full version or not if i am not continue purchasing it from steam
i am not sure about that regardihg your free trial on steam but you could not upgrade in steam due to region issue, if your region is not available then i guess you cant have the trial in the first place? but if you purchase from mogstation, please dont use it on steam. try to do some research first on this as i have stop playing the game for few years and square enix might change it
depends on which version of the game you are buying for? as in which platform? either way, ps or pc you still need to download the client first for your game
I set up my free trial on ps4 and then bought the game on pc a couple months later but it doesn’t let me make a service account for pc so when I enter in the 20 digit code it just tells me the code is incorrect because it thinks it’s for ps4 and not pc, but I can’t make an account for pc because it won’t let me, so what am I supposed to do? Just buy it again and hope it works? I’m probably just gonna make a new account all together and just start over from scratch because they made this way more complicated than it needs to be.
i think is better for you to redo everything by starting to make an trial account on pc first and make sure the region is correctly match with the game you are going to buy on PC and try to avoid the steam version on PC as well while you are on it
Did you contact the SE support for this case? is kinda strange and maybe your account is a trial account previously? previous trial account has time limit
@@intothefantasy no i bought the game and everything. Till the Heavensward expansion. That was like 4 years ago. Haven't played or used my account since then. It truly is a pain in the butt to just play the game. Well i sent a email support.
So I bought the game for $23 bucks and got the game code which should have covered shawbringer and the other expansions. I registered the game on mog website. But thing is I tried to get the samurai quest im level 50 it says I need to register game (shawdowbringers) which I did already on mog website. What do I do? Im not sure im trying to contact square Enix and ask the game bundle was suppose to cost 60bucks and had all the expansions in it and I put it on mog so what happen?
login to mogstation, at the main page you can see a table listed all the current expansion you have, the ones you have will be mark as O and check if you have shadowbringer and stormblood?
depends on which expansion are u at? i will recommend u to get the latest expansion from the pc side and key in the pc code into your current account. then you will be able to play on ps4 and pc version as well.
i think you can try this support.na.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5382&kid=68516 dont worry about the region for the game download, they are the same in this case.
Error code !2501 because I'm in Japan and can't make a North America account. $20 from Steam in the drain. F#$% Why I can't use my actual steam account as a registration.
either way you can call some friends outside in US region to help you in creating an account for US region or just use japan account in this case, possible is due to your ip detection by Steam and i am not sure if steam does offer free trial for japanese ffxiv version?

@@intothefantasy I figured it out. Steam is the worst way to buy this game. It's easy, but dumb to be able to play this game. Make an account with mobile data and put in the register code with mobile data. And you have to get the game from the website, not from steam. Or else it's code !2501
@@shaydesofblue2281 if you are making an account from the site for trial, you need to get the game form the website, if you play your trial from steam, you have to buy from steam. The !2501 issue is due to the ip problem and i heard it can be bypass with some telco providers in other country
@@intothefantasy i got the full game from the site since it was 60% off for the completed edition. I'm already playing it and currently a level 7 healer. I can't remember the name (conjuer?). As for Steam, I can play my account but I'll have to buy the completed edition which will be later in the long run since I'm gonna buy a Steam Deck.
no disadvantage i guess but the sale for steam have to wait for certain time, as i recall last time, the pc store (non steam) has more frequent discount for the game than steam.
i would not recommend you to use vpn on steam as they are quite strict with violations in their terms and conditions, if you value your steam account, is better not to do it.

you can try to buy the game outside mogstation, try the square enix store based on your account region, as for the crysta, you can save it for monthly subscription, you can use crysta to pay the month subs if you want to continue later
well the free trial mode is actually not that bad imho. You have restriction but they are not that bad except you plan to play with someone and both of you is using the trial account. The problem with that, both of you guys cant invite each other into a party. You can still join other non trial players party without issue. i would suggest you try out with the trial first and make sure if you are good with the game and happy to invest your time into it. If you are happy, then just buy the complete edition in the square enix store, make sure you buy from the correct region store as your account region and platform (playstation or pc or steam)

hi i have account steam from argentina. if i buy ff in steam. do i need to create account square enix? i cant create square enix account because of region lock(i from malaysia) or do i need to choose singapore?
i would suggest you to buy the game from square enix store instead from steam. as for malaysian creating account for square enix trial, go for singapore and it will be under US region which your monthly payment will be in USD and you need to buy all your expansions or games with US region in mind
I think they accept Debit card if you have them, else depends on your country, you can get game cards in shops like gamestop etc. Maybe you can also try to buy gamecards from Amazon or some online shops but please make sure that the region of gamecard supports your account region.
Steam and SE account plays together regardless, i would prefer you to get outside of steam instead but maybe if you plan to have steam deck device in the future, ffxiv might be playable there and you have a good portable mmo on the go. If you get Steam just stick with buying everything on your steam

Just to add, if you download and play the trial on steam, you still have to make a square enix account on the launcher when it opens the first time.
Thanks for the information
BRO THANK YOU SO MUCH ive been going at it for hours trying to set up a one time pass but thanks to u I easily got in
I just saw that if you use the launcher, all you have to do is click on Switch to the full version. Then a page opens, everything is preset there and there are large symbols for buy full version and enter the code. They worked on the side looks different than in the video.
MMORPGs will always be confusing for me. You pay for a game to pay monthly to play it. I understand having expansions but if its subscription based why do you need the gsme. It's like you need to buy netflix so you can pay them monthly to watch.
server cost to upkeep the players in around the world as well as development work for the game content
What a struggle this stuff is. FFXIV was the ONLY game that I could not access again after a long hiatus. I spent over a year unable to access the expansion on my account. Multiple calls over the year + timeframe and not 1 time did I ever get a support person who had any idea what to do. I ended up figuring it out myself - super frustrating.
Now, I'm dealing with the recruit a friend nonsense. I get a code, create my son a new Trial account, and now have no idea how to use the code ... sigh. There's 1 dang video out there that shows how to do it, except when I log into my son's account, go to the Account tab in the mog station, and there is no option to enter a code anywhere. Boom done.
I really wish this stuff was easier, or a real effort was made to explain this stuff properly. This game has been around for years now. Someone from Square needs to be replaced if this stuff is still not easy to understand. When your support has no idea even how to match an expansion with an account, your support is an embarrassment. How does no one in charge notice this...?
If i am not mistaken, you cant recruit anyone with trial account, so basically you need an account that already registered with a valid game code but without any subscription yet even you have a free 1 month gametime, you still can enter the code for recruit a friend as long there is no subscription at all. This is because maybe Square enix old trial system is tied up with 14day trial time limit and currently for the new trial, maybe they did not changed it yet.
@@intothefantasy Thanks for that information. I've been on the phone with Support for 44 minutes now, on hold for the 2nd time as support has no idea how Recruit a friend works.
Not only that, but the official site itself doesn't give instructions on how to actually use the code under the "recruit a friend" section. It's crazy how no one official notices this stuff... Thanks again man!
@@mron4161 am i right in this case? as in you will need to have a retail game register in your account to use the code, free trial is not allowed to use the code right?
I had this exact same problem! God, what a pain. I got to lvl 12 on the free play through steam but steam was charging full price for the full game so I had to start again.
Gotta love their titles though.
At least you where able to register
@@jaeplae8689 oh man, did you have a bad time of it?
@@phc3165 I was getting the error code !2501 with 7 emails. As of now, I'm still trying to figure it out since I recently bought this from steam $20. I linked my steam account with SE, but I still can't log in to play this game. So I made the region where I'm at (Japan). I can't read Mandarin but as soon I try to put in the trial cod, it didn't work saying it can't be a different region code. I tried the app to log in with my Japanese account and I can't get on that. Like Idk what else to do. I'm definitely not gonna buy this from the SE website and be in the same situation. that'll be $43 waisted for nothing.
I just sent them a lengthy email about how shitty their website and buying systems are. Hopefully more people complain because it is the worst i have ever seen. especially from a title this huge.
yea i agree as well, hope they can take action soon, previously i have few friends having problem as well while buying the game and causes them to waste money since they brought the wrong region ones and can't use the code
thank you! years back I messed up buying the game and lost some money. with this it was a breeze.
I have a question. I’m still playing the free trial and am far from finishing it, but because I saw the game was in discount I chose to buy it. Once I unlock my activation key, do I have a time limit to use it or can I continue playing the free trial for a while more and use the activation key whenever I want to ? Great video by the way, really appreciate it.
You can buy the game now first and keep the key. Wait until you are done heavensward and decide to proceed only use the key. I believe there is no expiry date for that code you brought. Personally from my experience, i did brought the key during discount and use it later after 2 months on my friends account and still use able
Thanks a lot for answering my question, It really helped a lot!
you missing alot by doing that though. there alot of good stuff been limited in free trial account.
I bought a 70 dollar collectors edition and I am stuck at a login page can't get my money back can't play the game so I'll never EVER buy anything SQEX again. Fuck that company
I tried to buy endwalker and it wont let me for like 3 days. None of my cards will go through. Even though i used mogstation with the same cards. The square store has 3 people that run it and its innexcusable. Im buying the right edition, for the right platyform and the store refuses to use any card.
I bought endwalker on PS4 and it won’t let me transfer my character to the full version. Heck my app keeps saying I’m on the free version still for some dumb reason..
@@chuganoga1908 dog, i used three different cards, 4 different browsers, my phone and my work internet and nothing lets me purchase from the site. its broken they dont know how to make a store lol
@@Cheezeblade lol dude this is my third time going back to FF 14 and every time I get back into this damn game their site always gives me problems bro..
hey but i recently found out that in order to upgrade from free trial you have to buy the starter edition in order to play the full game then you can purchase the expansions. Not sure if you’re on free trial still but I just thought I spread the word on that because it took me hours to figure it out.
I think their site is busted right now bro but when I went on there earlier this morning it wasn’t giving me the same problems I was having last night. You should try again soon or if not just try it in the AM maybe it’ll work then.
@@Cheezeblade i originally was gonna stay on free trial for aslong as I could because the Realm Reborn Part of the game sucks imo but dog you can’t even wait in the Queue if you’re on free trial which I think is kinda BS so now I’m gonna have to pay because who the hell knows how long this games Q is gonna be screwed for.
@@chuganoga1908 nono i mean i have had everything up to endwalker already and they jsut refuse every single card i have. ive already been playin it
Want to play this game from SEA region is such a hassle. i will just play if this game is available and can be purchased easily for SEA player. if not i just skip it. with my age, i don't have time to research this and that just for purchasing a game. we ain't got time for that.
If they think it's hard to buy this game try buying this game when your country isn't even listed. I had to fake my address and use 4 different credit cards and fake my address just to buy the god damn game.
yea that is what i did previously in few years ago as well, square enix really need to fix this shit
This is the damn video I've been looking for lol
Thanks, glad the video could help
Never in my life have I ever went through so much just to play a game, started out with a greyed out username that would not let me change it.. to now I cant even purchase the game without jumping through a million hoops... I want to play the game so bad but with as much as I have been through already I am having second thoughts about it.
Positive this doesn’t need to be an 18 minute video just tell me why the station doesn’t accept my password even after I changed it
I have to say.. i gave up on the idea ebecause this trash buying system
is actually not that complicated if you just avoid from steam and register a trial account on the website with the correct region and get the game later on the correct region
well sounds complicated lol
I bought the game from square Enix but when I try to play it, it says my username and password are wrong when I try to get new password, it did nothing, they sent no email to me, and would not let me back into my account. I tried everything it told me to do, none of it worked. they stole my money.
I bought my copy on steam and have regretted it ever since, having said that the system desperately needs an overhaul, the nineties want it back.
thank youuuuuu You helped me a lot. I bought the US version. But it didn't work. i was on European region
Thanks for the information.. its very informative :) may i ask something sir, im currently on a free trial and the game is having a discount right now... So basically can I buy the game right now while it is on discount, but redeem it later after i have had enough with my free trial ?
yes you can, i don't think there is any expiring date for the code you brought if not mistaken, but then, i tried this way as well previously, i brought the code during discount and i use the code in like 2 months later and is still working, Personally, i am not sure about the expiring date but technically there should not since is yours after brought
@@intothefantasy awesome.. just bought it this morning :3 thank you for the response, kindly sir.. you got my subs :))
@@lucredzia_play thanks for the sub, it sure help me alot
Saw the thumbnail and the video length and i actually laughed out loud. Seriously SE, fix your website(s). Hope the vid helps ppl
thanks a lot, hope it helps
Sorry for question, but i just want to be confident. If i had a free trial account that was registered through the square enix account, i can buy the game only from their site? I cant buy it from the steam and then link it?
you cant buy it from steam and link to your trial account that was registered through square enix account, steam platform must always stays in steam platform in this case
@@intothefantasy uhh no. On the contrary if u have a SE free trial you can move to steam full version. But this is the only time u can do so.
@@WiseFatOwl thanks for the information, i was not aware about this previously
@@intothefantasy your welcome! Please keep doing more videos like this. Would help a lot of people to see a steam free trial to Steam retail and Non steam free trial to Steam retail process too.
SE has needlessly complicated this process.
@@WiseFatOwl Hi i am interested to do the video you mentioned but currently i cant see ffxiv selling in my region. Thanks for the support
thank you so much! your video helped me a ton!
Glad i can help
I have simply decided that they do not want my money
As of today, this video could be replaced with the words... 'You can't' :P
Only temporarily though!
So I made the mistake of setting up my free trial account in the US region when in reality I live in the EU. Is it possible for me to buy the game from the US store, so in theory I should get the correct region code? Though I still need to give an American address that won't be accurate, would that be a problem in any way? I just need a digital PC download to upgrade from trial btw.
Update: Just bought the game through the Mog Station and it worked without any issue!
I'm in the opposite situation, account in EU but my country belongs in the US region.
So regardless of region the subscription can still go through?
I bought the game on Square enix Site. I was using the Square enix site version of the trial not steam. When i go to mog station It says Give registration code and I was never given one. I was only given an activation code any help? Video was unclear
Very helpful video. One question, which version is preferable, steam or the square enix platform. Thanks in advance
Getting the version from square enix platform is the safest way I think. I heard many people have had compatibility problem with the Steam version like to play with others and so on :p
I’ve been playing for years and just tried to set my friend up with an account and it it took me like 2 hours to purchase and start the download and I couldn’t even figure out how to use the recruit a friend feature. I had had to receive and verify 4 different emails and set up 2 types of SE accounts. Whoa
Thanks for the guide! I'm wondering when did you record the video? Because I cant see any discount in the UK region store anymore
Hi there, 4 days ago which is on 10th July
@@intothefantasy I think it's gone now. I started playing the game same time as asmongold, but only now thinking about buying it. Sadge :(
@@deadno I think there will be discount soon again before endwalker comes out maybe in couple of months, for now, you can enjoy the game content with leveling some other jobs to 60 first and slowly enjoy the game until then

So I tried to start playing FF14 so I made my account and downloaded the game and I can’t even login. It tells me my username and password is incorrect and I just made my account… idk what I’m doing wrong
where did you created your account at? is it from the URL in my description for free trial? and did you receive a code to activate your account from email something like that?
same happened to me... square enix doesnt recognize my account

@@intothefantasy doing it on my phone fixed it. This video was actually great. I have everything complete now but how do i actually play the game lol. Dont see where to download ot
@@xDSxTwistedd www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/ you can download here but might have some issue during the launch, will hit an error about registering your key but that can be solved by modifying a file in the client side, you can google that solution with the error message i believe
Thank u i tried for a whole hour
Why I can't play the game if I pay for it!?!? 🤨 This is the worst thing I had ever seen on Gaming history but I like the game And wanna play it again... Theres a literal free trial that says play until lvl 60 why I can play after using that!?
So I download a free trial via steam, and when I want to upgrade my account, an error window appeared saying that the content isn't available in your region... I live in indonesia by the way, and I create a Singapore based square enix account.. and I figured out that only one account works for one free trial...
They really don't want my money do they. Went to the website and tried to get the free trial. Struggled with account creation for 4 or 5 hours. I finally got sent a confirmation key and when entered the site gives me an error i205 or something. Tried 3 different web browsers and 2 different emails.
I give up
are you registering in the wrong region? that i205 error if not mistaken referring to vpn usage to register or trying to register to a region that your current IP address is not with.
@@intothefantasy North America
No vpn or anything
Thank you for the video. Is it possible to only purchase Stormblood (EU) at the moment? I want to take my time with the content and level various jobs before going into the recent stuff, however i want to unlock red mage so the free trial does not do it for me. Do i have to purchase the full collection for 40 bucks?
you can just direcly purchase the latest expansion, it will include stormblood as well for you. Means buying latest expansion endwalker will give you access to all the previous expansion
they should 100% change the way we get into the game
agree as well since this game is out for a long time
I bought it used them I bought used again then I bought the game but lost my old account so it linked to my old account and now I want to play again and I've already spent 100$ on a game I've played for 5 minutes
i live in sg too man been playing ffxiv for a bit now :) just watched this vid cause why not ahah
what address did you put to buy the game? I'm also from sea region
So im currently on ps4 and I have the full version of the game but im planning on switching over to pc, will i be able to keep my account or would I have to start over
you will need to buy the pc version as well and link your account with the pc version. You should be able to play your current account in pc as well.
Hi John,
I have been looking everywhere for some explanation. I already had a Steam Free Trial running. There was this Square-Enix Members page where they offer Steam account linkage, and I linked my Steam account to SE members. Should I buy the game, do I buy it from the Square-Enix store or via Steam?
Thank you!
Sorry but i am not sure or aware about linking your steam account to SE
Link to steam doesn't make it count as an account. I already tried it
hi! i would really like to play it but i don't know if use steam or square enix, i am one of thoese person who like to have everything on steam.. but people always recomend to use square so idk what to do, please help
if you don't mind answering, do i have to make a new gmail account or new square enix account if i want to play on windows if i already have the steam version?
yes i believe so since steam version will not be able to convert to windows
@@intothefantasy ah thank you for answering my question
So if you travel abroad for work, you can't really play the game? I am based in USA but travel to Latin America for several months at a time.
Too confusing to buy, to many restrictions, maybe another time.
How do you even get an answer from customer service !!!!!!!!! 4 months after, still waiting.
Thanks.Mog Station confused me.
Is the steam version worth going with? I prefer to play all my games on steam but idk if the steam version is lacking in content or doesn't get sales.
there is no differences in the version in terms of content, u can get the steam if you prefer the steam environment but in terms of sales, i think you should know usually when steam do their sales by now
@@intothefantasy awesome for clearing that up with me!
I spent like 2 hours today trying to get the free trial since I thought they had a trial with no time limit up to level 50 or 60, but I couldn't get it to work for me on steam or se. Does that fact that I have used a 14 day free trial back in 2020 affect me from the other free trial?
@@Svabby yes it is possible it might affect from your previous 14days trial because that was the previous trial modal from Square enix. This might also flag your account already expire with the trial and not able to let you use the same account to do the new trial
i recommend you to create a new account if that is the case
I bought game time and they charged me and everything. Then when i got an email it said your order has been canceled, and didn’t get my money back. wtf
if you are using credit card to pay, there is possibility that the charge back will take sometime to debit back to your side
I managed to create an account and play… once on free trial… since then I can’t log in anymore all worlds are full and you can’t wait in queue for a free trial version so yeah………. Can’t even really try the game actually
i think you can give it a try later, maybe next month if you can wait. The current situation with endwalker release, square enix need to prioritize the paying customer first
Wow I didn’t realize that there was also a challenge in buying the game. Just wait until you have to login…
yea this is because the system is not really unison and there is so many versions of the game
Thank you. I appreciate this deeply.
In my opinion the payment should be available in he store for console players,
It always half & half when paying for my sub but this time I paid for a subscription the payment went through but I didn’t get my subscription but amount of money I spent is gone along.

So I completed the free trial on PS4 but haven't spent any money on the game yet, can I transfer my free trial save data to a PC? Or should I just forget about it, start from scratch and buy the complete edition on PC instead?
as i recall, free trial will lock your platform, which means if you started a free trial account on PS4, it will stay on PS4 and you cant use it on the PC. If you want to try on PC, you need to create another account but is going to be a fresh start.
Another way is to buy the game but you might need to buy on both platform for your current trial account, PC and PS4.
Hey buddy thanks for your video💙, What If I wanted to play with USA players instead of Australian players even though I live in Australia.
Should I still select EU?
And will it lag if I select USA region?
just select the USA data center in the game and join the server normally. Your account region wont impact which server you going to play but it will impact which region game you are going to buy. You are free to select any region server to play in game, at the main screen of the game, you can choose data center and make sure you google out to find which data center is for USA
@@intothefantasy thank you so much John for your reply, ok i think i understand it all, just last thing i cant work out.
should i buy just ENDWALKER exp instead of SHADOWBRINGERS and then end walker?
because i see if i get shadowbringers i get HEAVENSWARD and STORMBLOOD but these arnt exp just songs is that right?
And if i buy ENDWALKER i get SHADOWBRINGERS and STORMBLOOD, it says exp packs but when i search STORMBLOOD it says audio.
anyways please help if you can, will be very gratefull :)
this game has been the thing missing in my life for so many years
@@lukeboccaccio6257 Since endwalker is coming next month, i suggest you to buy endwalker instead but if you preorder now, you wont get all the expansion prior before endwalker yet until endwalker is release. If you can wait for endwalker release then buy endwalker.
if you need to play the other expansion currently now such as Stormblood or Shadowbringer and dont want to wait, you can buy Shadowbringers directly but this will cost you endwalker later as well.
the thing about preordering Endwalker now is, you wont get the Expansions until Endwalker is release, so preordering now wont give you the expansion now.
do consider these point, technically is better to directly get Endwalker and continue your trial account gameplay slowly. Even you completed heavensward content, you can just sit back and relax until next month for endwalker to release. This way, you can save up money instead of buying Shadowbringers now and Endwalker again.
its so sad i need a video to figure that out | may i should not buy, it seems they dont want my money
So if you play the free version, then just buy the full edition for 40 €?
They are now available with Endwalker.
yes, the complete edition includes endwalker as well. just get that package and you will be fine and not to mentioned, it comes with a 30days free game time as well
Okay so… I had the free trial version on steam and uninstall the game to play something else. Then today I had bought the full game but just the starter pack on steam and they gave me a code but it said it wasn’t the same region so I’m a bit lost

i think u might need to recreate the account and replay the trial version with the code you brought.

i am not sure about that regardihg your free trial on steam but you could not upgrade in steam due to region issue, if your region is not available then i guess you cant have the trial in the first place? but if you purchase from mogstation, please dont use it on steam.
try to do some research first on this as i have stop playing the game for few years and square enix might change it
I must buy game or not?
I bought the game but I don't know how to access it in order to play it.
depends on which version of the game you are buying for? as in which platform? either way, ps or pc you still need to download the client first for your game
I set up my free trial on ps4 and then bought the game on pc a couple months later but it doesn’t let me make a service account for pc so when I enter in the 20 digit code it just tells me the code is incorrect because it thinks it’s for ps4 and not pc, but I can’t make an account for pc because it won’t let me, so what am I supposed to do? Just buy it again and hope it works? I’m probably just gonna make a new account all together and just start over from scratch because they made this way more complicated than it needs to be.
i think is better for you to redo everything by starting to make an trial account on pc first and make sure the region is correctly match with the game you are going to buy on PC and try to avoid the steam version on PC as well while you are on it

Is it easier or cheaper to do it through steam or square Enix?

can you try using your credit card to buy Crysta points and use it to reload your subscription?
@@intothefantasy my debit card wouldnt work so i went to the store and bought a prepaid paypal card loaded 40.00 onto it and bought 2k crysta so that definitely worked im bck in the game now
Thank you so much!
I purchased endwalker on PS4 but when I start it up it keeps saying I’m still on the free trial for whatever reason? Any help?
did you downloaded your ps4 endwalker? for PC wise, you need to update the game to endwalker as well, you will receive a update request after login if you had endwalker purchase and code keyed in the mogstation. Not sure about ps4 but it should be similar
@@intothefantasy i think the problem was that I needed to first purchase the starter edition in order to upgrade from my free trial in order to have access to the endwalker expansion. I didn’t know I had to purchase the starter edition in order to play the full game because in my previous MMO experience (World of Warcraft) you can buy the latest expansion and then have access to all previous expansions there was no need to buy the starter edition. Thank you for the reply this means a lot that you genuinely wanna help people like us who are having trouble.
@@chuganoga1908 i think there is a complete edition for ffxiv where you can have everything once you get it. The complete edition this time also have endwalker as well. No problem, trying to help as much as i can.
Thank you for the video, but my porblem is I uploaded crysta on the mogry station. And when i try to upgrade my free trial version to the full game it doesnt allow it. pls help
you can try to buy the game outside mogstation, try the square enix store based on your account region, as for the crysta, you can save it for monthly subscription, you can use crysta to pay the month subs if you want to continue later
Then why can you see an American game in Europe in the first place
how do I play the game without going through the free trial mode?
well the free trial mode is actually not that bad imho. You have restriction but they are not that bad except you plan to play with someone and both of you is using the trial account. The problem with that, both of you guys cant invite each other into a party. You can still join other non trial players party without issue.
i would suggest you try out with the trial first and make sure if you are good with the game and happy to invest your time into it. If you are happy, then just buy the complete edition in the square enix store, make sure you buy from the correct region store as your account region and platform (playstation or pc or steam)
So basically i bought everything via steam ( complete edition ). How to get stormblood on steam? i have 50lvl and wanted to get red mage job, but it says that i dont have it installed.....
did you completed the main scenario quest, The Ultimate Weapon?
@@intothefantasy i got it XD i just didnt install shadowbringer pack... :D
@@fabulousacchi yea you have to redownload again from the patcher client during start of the game
@@intothefantasy can i ask another question? How to spiritbond gear and "upgrade" it? i know about materia (works like socketing with gems) but how to make it "+1,2,3,8,9" etc?
@@fabulousacchi this game does not have typical other mmo style where upgrading your gear to +1,2,3,4,5. You just need to get new gear for upgrades and thats it. As for spiritbond is for equipments when you wear them for during your leveling activities, they will get an exp % and when is 100% you can extract them out for materia, once extract for materia, the % will become 1% from 100% and the equipment will becomes permanently bound to your character. As a result, it cannot be traded to other players or sold on the Marketboard.
why the fuck should a game have a buyers guide
Some people make mistakes.
Bro, what you put as your country for the payment info? I also from SG
i think you can put your SG country as payment? cause my account is 8 years ago and i am registered under UK
Why do they make it so difficult to buy a sub for a friend...
just buy a game card and give it to your friend?
hi i have account steam from argentina. if i buy ff in steam. do i need to create account square enix? i cant create square enix account because of region lock(i from malaysia) or do i need to choose singapore?
i would suggest you to buy the game from square enix store instead from steam. as for malaysian creating account for square enix trial, go for singapore and it will be under US region which your monthly payment will be in USD and you need to buy all your expansions or games with US region in mind
@@intothefantasy i see
How do i pay for the game IF i don't have a credit card? is there any way?
I think they accept Debit card if you have them, else depends on your country, you can get game cards in shops like gamestop etc. Maybe you can also try to buy gamecards from Amazon or some online shops but please make sure that the region of gamecard supports your account region.
@@intothefantasy Thanks for your time!!!!! :D
is there some Steam FF14 players? is it good on steam? or do i have to go though SE website ... some feedback plz mates !!!!
Steam and SE account plays together regardless, i would prefer you to get outside of steam instead but maybe if you plan to have steam deck device in the future, ffxiv might be playable there and you have a good portable mmo on the go. If you get Steam just stick with buying everything on your steam
how can i unlock hard versions of dungeons? I want to progress with main scenario but 1st i need to unlock hard version of the navel and the howling eye ;/
to get navel and howling eye hard unlock first you need to finish this main quest, the Ultimate Weapon and then several of these side quest
- A Recurring Problem
- Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It (to unlock ifrit hard)
- In for Garuda Awakening (to unlock garuda hard)
- In a Titan Spot (to unlock titan hard)
to start A recurring problem, go back to waking sands after you finish main quest the ultimate weapon and you will find that quest A recurring problem in waking sand
@@intothefantasy i can’t take quest „in for garuda awakening” cuz itd locked because i need to unlock ANOTHER dungeon. Is there some site where you can search for quests location etc?
@@fabulousacchi you need to finish ifrit hard first, and before that you need to complete this A Recurring Problem
@@intothefantasy i did quest recurring problem. Basically i did almost every „blue quest” and still dont have these dungeons…
@@fabulousacchi You need to complete this as well Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It and kill ifrit hard, should be on waking sand
hi is it possible to buy the game with euro instead of uk money on uk account?
Hi there i am not sure about this.

@@takerukurosawa2337 Nope, i brought them with pound UK
@@intothefantasy okay thanks

Is The Americas region NA?
how does the monthly payment work on steam ?
i think it should be the same as well as normal final fantasy xiv account using crysta or credit card on mogstation but with steam, you can pay monthly with steam wallet if not mistaken
