I was going through stores to see who actually had a physical copy of Heavensward in and then I noticed that Best Buy was buying back FFXIV original PS4 disc... wat? :|
So many complaints about this online but really, I know one store that made that mistake on FFXI for Xbox 360 and when I told the store owner (local bookshop) he gave it to me on a huge discount, I just kept the disc in case of a backup.
So...is FFXIV like FFXI that once you register the game, that the key is good for cross platform/gen?
I registered FFXIV 1.0 on PC, have FFXIV:ARR on PS3, if I got the official disc for PS4, do I need a PS4 register key?
Either way, for $4 I might just pick it up to add to my game library.
If you want to play it on PS4 I think you need the ARR+HW bundle, it's not like XI where you can play on any platform, you need a key for each platform (and for a new one you'd need the old one as well, not just expansion). They had the free upgrade before and I think most people took advantage of that and only had to get HW.
