Verplaats je Final Fantasy XIV avontuur van de PS3 naar de PS4

Officieel komt Final Fantaxy XIV: A Realm Reborn voor de PlayStation 4 pas aanstaande maandag uit. De early access fase begint echter dit weekend al. Voor iedereen die Final Fantasy XIV al op z'n PlayStation 3 heeft gespeeld en nu de overstap wil maken naar de PlayStation 4, heeft Sony in een blogpost een stappenplan online gezet.

Kort gezegd gaat de overzetting van je PS3-game naar je PS4-game in twee stappen, namelijk het ophalen van je promotiecode en het activeren van die code. Denk er wel aan dat er geen weg terug meer is zodra je de PS3-game hebt overgezet naar de PlayStation 4; je kunt deze transitie later dus niet meer ongedaan maken en verder gamen op je PlayStation 3.

Het stappenplan is te vinden op de blog van PlayStation, en staat ook hieronder beschreven.

Step 1: Get Your Promotion Code
Important: the upgrade option is currently scheduled to go live at approximately 10:00 AM on Friday, april 11th.

1. First of all, log into the MogStation using your Square Enix account, visit the account services page, and select the service account that you want to upgrade.
2. Once selected, you should already see a banner with the option to upgrade from PS3 to PS4. Click on it.
3. You'll now be presented with the details of the upgrade campaign. I know it's a lot of text, but please read it carefully, as it contains a lot of information about the upgrade process. When you're done reading, confirm that you agree to the terms and click Next.
4. On this page you'll be asked to confirm your upgrade. 5. If you have multiple service accounts, please make absolutely sure that you've selected the correct service account you want to upgrade.
If all is in order, click on "Upgrade".

Step 2: Redeem Your Promotion Code
Please note: if you've participated in the second PS4 bèta, this step is optional, as you already have the game client installed on your system and only need to update it. You still need to go through step 1, though!

1. Boot up your PS4, log in to your PlayStation account, and go to PlayStation Store. Make absolutely sure that you have the correct PlayStation profile active before you enter the store! Promotion Codes can only be used a single time, so using it on the wrong account would leave you stranded.
2. Select "Redeem Codes" from the option menu displayed at the bottom left of the screen and enter the promotion code.
3. When you've done so and confirmed the regulations, you can start the download.
4. If something goes wrong with the download, you can try to restart it using the "Library" option in the PlayStation Store menu.
