Im not buying both versions, if I buy the ps3 version and then buy a ps4, will I have to buy another copy of ff arr for ps4?
I will hold off on buying ps3 version if that is the case. I know Sony and square were negotiating, but what has come of it?
Come on Sony? Square? Speak up.

This is completely untrue.
First, SE is negotiating with Sony to have PS3 players transition to the PS4 without having to re-purchase the game. Second, backwards compatibility is a non-issue once SE puts XIV as a digital download on the PSN.
wrong most likly you can transfer your ps3 account to ps4. just like pc players can upgrade tot he dx 11 client for free
Well that's news to me, however I wasn't wrong about the backwards compatibility. The PS3 disc WILL NOT WORK in a PS4, if they allow a free digital download for people who bought it on PS3, then that's completely different. I will say that I've never known Square Enix to miss a chance to take people's money.
He's not wrong, until a solid published agreement is released then you have to assume you'll need to buy a separate boxed version for the ps4.
Secondly digital downloads are optional, not essential for ps4 unless Sony have been lying through their teeth. Sony have stated that physical copies of games will be exactly the same for the ps4 as they were for the ps3.
For this to be true they would need to send out free physical copies of the game to everyone who buys the ps3 version, please don't make unfounded claims, we simply don't know any of this for certain right now.
Expresso gave me a Hearthstone beta key.....I'm so happy
He's talking about physical copies of the game, not accounts. Consoles work quite differently to PCs.

well yea physical copy
They actually gave about 18 months of free game time with FFXIV. In addition to giving free copies of the game to those who owned the first version, and selling new copies at half the price of new games.
xD
The also only charged $9.99/mo when they finally fixed the first version. But yes, they're a company so I'm sure they'll take any money they're able to get.
:P
Lots of good history here and like krashner is saying we will have to wait and see.

Well, for FFXI: it runs on the PC, PS2, and Xbox 360.
You can use a single account to play on all 3 platforms, but you have to buy the software separately each time.
I would assume that when/if the PS4 (or any other) version comes out, you will have to buy the box for that, but will be able to use the same account. Maybe/Hopefully they can work out some kind of deal where you can just download it from the PSN, but I would be very surprised if that comes to light.
That's to bad really, I doubt I will even bother playing it by that time. Now if I would have started playing and it grew on me I might have considered but this buy two box copies stuff is ridiculous.
