PS3 players of Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn will be able to upgrade to the PS4 version ahead of the launch on April 14.
As we mentioned previously, this service will be free, but now Polygon has more details on how exactly the transfer system will work.
The transfer service begins on April 11. Owners of multiple accounts can transfer all of them across to the PS4 version.
Since character data such as levels, earned items, and story progression is saved server-side, this will transfer automatically when the player first signs into FF14 on the PS4. However, player-created data such as macros and hotbar data currently cannot be transferred. Square Enix is working with Sony to eventually allow players to access this data through the PlayStation Network servers.
Is there an incentive for upgrading? Indeed - transferred players will gain access to FF14 on April 11, days before the official launch date of April 14.
Once you've transferred to the PS4 version, there's no going back; your old PS3 copy will be deactivated. If you want to play on two consoles, you'll need to buy the game for each one.
Players who don't already own the game on PS3 will need to purchase a copy for PS4. Transfers between PC and console versions are not permitted.
If you're on the fence about upgrading, check out what we thought of the PS4 version. FF14 is currently in beta, but the developer is already adding in such frivolities as in-game amusement parks.
Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn is currently in open beta till March 3, but you may want to wait for the second beta, which commences on April 4 - because, unlike the current beta, characters and data made during the next beta will carry over to the final release version.
