  • Play Both FINAL FANTASY XI and FINAL FANTASY XIV, Receive Perks! (08/17/2010)

    Perks for Simultaneous Players of Both FINAL FANTASY XI and FINAL FANTASY XIV





    With FINAL FANTASY XIV's scheduled release date of September 30th (September 22nd for the Collector's Edition) rapidly approaching, a host of special deals are in the works for players who elect to pursue adventure in both Vana'diel and Eorzea.

    Players who maintain subscriptions to both FINAL FANTASY XI and FINAL FANTASY XIV will be eligible for such perks as significantly discounted FINAL FANTASY XI monthly service fees, a bonus FINAL FANTASY XIV in-game item, and the ability to transfer their FINAL FANTASY XI character name to FINAL FANTASY XIV.

    Check out the details!











    Link a PlayOnline ID with an active FINAL FANTASY XI Content ID to a Square Enix account with an active FINAL FANTASY XIV service account to discount your FINAL FANTASY XI monthly service fees from $12.95 to $7.00 .

    * These perks will remain available until January 2011.
    * This FINAL FANTASY XI monthly service fee discount applies to users paying by credit card.
    * No discount will be applied to a month’s service fees if FINAL FANTASY XIV is in a free trial period on the 26th of the month.
    * Additional fees will be incurred for additional FINAL FANTASY XI Content IDs.





    If you have multiple PlayOnline IDs, you can receive discounts according to the number of FINAL FANTASY XIV service accounts you have.

    - If you have multiple PlayOnline IDs linked to a Square Enix account with a single FINAL FANTASY XIV service account, you will be able to receive a discount for one of your PlayOnline IDs.
    - If you have multiple PlayOnline IDs linked to a Square Enix account with multiple FINAL FANTASY XIV service accounts, the number of PlayOnline IDs that you can receive discounts for will be the same as the number of FINAL FANTASY XIV service accounts on your Square Enix account.
    * Even if you have multiple active FINAL FANTASY XIV service accounts, the monthly service fee discount for a single PlayOnline ID will not change.

    Example of discounts based on the number of PlayOnline IDs and service accounts on a single Square Enix account:
    Number of FINAL FANTASY XIV service accounts (being billed) Number of active FINAL FANTASY XI PlayOnline IDs Number of PlayOnline IDs that can receive a discount 1 1 1 1 2 1 2 1 1 2 3 2
    * A maximum of eight FINAL FANTASY XIV service accounts can be added to a single Square Enix account. Therefore, a maximum of eight PlayOnline IDs can receive a monthly service fee discount.




    If a PlayOnline ID with an active FINAL FANTASY XI Content ID is linked to a Square Enix account with a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account, all new characters created on that FINAL FANTASY XIV service account will start out possessing a special in-game item.

    * Please note that you will not be able to receive a special in-game item in the following cases:
    - If you have created a character before linking your PlayOnline ID (It is, however, possible to receive the in-game item 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 cancelled and are thus not being billed).
    - If the linked PlayOnline ID’s FINAL FANTASY XI is in the free trial period.


    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.”

    For example: FINAL FANTASY XI Player Character name: Destiny Player Character’s FINAL FANTASY XI World name: Odin ↓ Usable name in FINAL FANTASY XIV: Destiny Odin


    * 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 cancelled 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.
    For information on using a Square Enix account or linking PlayOnline IDs, please refer to Using a Square Enix Account.

    Looking at that model it would appear 14 is not adopting the archaic 11 billing method, that's encouraging.

      We've known they were going with a "30 day" cycle over a "monthly rent" cycle since forever, it was one of the first things they really confirmed about the game. Right along the same time as when they said "Screw PoL!". Though confirming XI players will get a discount for playing XIV will be awesome. Not sure if I like how the Name Transfer thing works though, I'd rather pick my last name then have it shared with a bunch of other people who played on the same server as me. Especially since many of my XI LS may be transferring over to XIV. Oh well, I'm sure I'll be able to get my name in regardless.

      Also, golden clogs, ugly as hell.

            You still can. They are just holding the unique combination for you. So if the name you want is taken you can still get the FFXI one.

                This might be a stupid question, but are the system requirements for FFXIV out yet?

                  FINAL FANTASY XIV Recommended System Requirements

                  They might change, depending on the results of the alpha/beta testing.

                    Um, how about no?

                    If I ever did become interested in FFXIV, it most certainly would not be within the next five months.

                      If they have any sense, they'll renew this deal around the time of the PS3 launch (along with a PS3 collector's edition >_>)

                          My POL/XI account is already linked to my SE account (for the security token/moggie bag) so am I pretty much good to go as is once I start up XIV?
