Ok so basically i now own a playstation 4. I play on PC myself, but my cousin plays on ps3. Now that we have a ps4 were going to upgrade his account. As of now, his 14 account is linked to my playstation account. If i wanted to play on ps4 also, is it possible to link my account to my playstation one even though my cousins is linked? If i cant do this, what would be the way to accomplish this?

If you only play on PC you will have to buy a PS4 copy of the game and link that with your current account. That way you can then log on to your character on the PC or PS4. Your cousin, however, gets a free PS4 upgrade that will then allow him to play solely on PS4. You can both log in to the same PS4 (not at the same time of course) but you may need different PSN accounts, not sure.

Ya i have the extra copy of the game already, i just wasnt sure if 2 accounts can be linked to the same ps account. If i have to make a new psn account i can, but i dont want to pay for another playstation plus. If thats the case ill just stick with my pc and return the ps4 copy of ff14.

As long as one account on the PS4 has PS Plus, the others don't need it. My girlfriend plays FFXIV on the PS4 yet doesn't have PS Plus. But because my account (the primary one) has it, she does too as long as it's on that system.

Short answer: You will probably need to pick up another copy of the game.

Long answer: It might be possible to just get a PS3 version and upgrade it to PS4, but you might run into issues given that your cousin's Square Enix account(MogStation) is linked to your PSN account. I don't recall if PSN accounts only allow for a single MogStation(square enix ID) to be linked at a time or if they allow multiples so you're going to want to get a definitive answer on that before you do anything else. You could also find out if it's possible to create a new PSN account for your cousin and have them unlink and re-link MogStation accounts to the correct PSN accounts.

ok apparently its possible to link multiple service accounts to 1 psn ID...but how the heck do I do this? you cant change the SE id because on ps4 its grayed out and has my cousins info locked in. on the mogstation it tells me to do it on the playstation, but I can't. google isn't turning up anything either. the way they did this for playstation is rather odd.

There aren't any better instructions than "do it on the PS4"? If so, what step are you stuck on and if not... Smiley: mad

well looks like I already screwed up. I entered the code om my psn account by registering it, and now my cousin is upgraded to the ps4 version, which should have already been free, but now costed 40 bucks. they couldn't have just made this easy. I guess I wont be able to play this game on anything other than pc unless I want to dish out another 40 dollars.

all I wanted to be able to do was be able to log in to different accounts on one playstation. why this is a *********** is beyond my comprehension.
