If you do get the game installed and can not get to character creation, please be aware of the following:
If server congestion occurs, character creation may temporarily become unavailable.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you were in the open beta and want to transfer your character name or your saved character model, please note the following:
- Transferring Character Names
Official Release Participants of the Open Beta Test will be able to transfer their character names from the FINAL FANTASY XIV Open Beta Test to the official release. As long as the worlds selected in the open beta test and the official release are the same, the character name used in the open beta test will be usable in the official release.
* Upon the transfer of the character name, both selection of the world and character name input need to be done properly. Please make sure to remember both the world you belonged to and the name of the character you used during the open beta test.
*If the character name has been determined to be improper by Square Enix, the transfer may not be done.
* After the open beta test has concluded, the character names still existing on the account will be transferable.
- Transferring Character Appearance to the Official Release
During the open beta test, saving a character’s data at the time of its creation will allow you to create a character with the same appearance in the commercial release of the game.
*Data on character appearance will be saved under My Documents. Please be aware that the transfer cannot be done if the My Documents directory is deleted. Uninstalling the beta client "FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version" will not cause the data saved in My Documents to be deleted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your FFXI account is currently active (meaning you are being billed monthly), then you can transfer your FFXI character names to your FFXIV account BEFORE creating your character in FFXIV. Please follow the information below:
- Transferal of FINAL FANTASY XI Player Character Name to FINAL FANTASY XIV
When creating a new FINAL FANTASY XIV character, FINAL FANTASY XI players’ character names will be prioritized. The character’s name will become “Given Name: the Player Character’s name in FINAL FANTASY XI†+ “Surname: the name of the Player Character’s World.†(EXAMPLE: Let's say I played a character called Thegrandmom on Siren. My new name in FFXIV will be "Thegrandmom Siren" since there is a given name (first name) and a surname (second name)
* Please note that you will not be able to transfer your Player Character name in the following cases:
- If you have created a character before linking your PlayOnline ID (It is, however, possible to transfer Player Character names by deleting the characters you created, linking your PlayOnline ID, and then re-creating your characters).
- If, at the time of creating your FINAL FANTASY XIV character, the linked PlayOnline ID’s FINAL FANTASY XI Content IDs are invalid (the Content IDs have been canceled and are thus not being billed).
- If the linked PlayOnline ID’s FINAL FANTASY XI is in the free trial period.
- If there are no FINAL FANTASY XI characters on the linked PlayOnline ID.
* If you have recently created a character, transferred Worlds, or used the Character Reactivation Service on FINAL FANTASY XI, it may take some time before you can transfer your Player Character name to FINAL FANTASY XIV.
* Users can create characters with new names, regardless of whether a PlayOnline ID is linked or not.
