Reddit reviews Final Fantasy XIV: A REALM REBORN - PlayStation 4

For PC: To start playing you need just A Realm Reborn, which will grant you all content from 1-50 including the 2 years of patch content before Heavensward released. The only thing you will be missing out on is creating an Au Ra character that you can start the game as from level 1.
Then you need Heavensward, which grants access to the 50-60 content, with the new land (6 zones), 3 new jobs and the 2 years of Heavensward patch content. It also lets you either make an Au Ra character, or change your character's race to an Au Ra.
There is also a bundle where you may buy both the base game and the expansion together, but there is no bundle with Collector's Edition goodies.
You will need both collector's editions if you want all the digital goodies, or you can buy upgrades to both editions in order to get them, whenever you choose to.
On Steam it looks exactly the same. The only downside is that you are bound to buy everything on Steam and the box edition codes will not work with Steam. This makes it hard if you wish to have the physical collector's editions as their codes will not work with the Steam version and you would need to buy the collector's box and the Steam upgrade for Stormblood, for example.
For PS4:
It's the same as on PC, except the digital PSN codes and the box editions codes can be mixed and matched without issues.

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to, but if you use amazon you can pre-order the game here and once you do, they instantly email you the early access code. Also, since its a preorder, they don't charge the credit card until they ship the game.

If I bought ps4 version.. pre-order could I get early access for the pc? heh...

On the playstation store? If so, that's a damn shame. But then again buying digital on consoles is never the economic route:

Still much better value than any subscription MMO right now IMO.

He likes RPG's you said?

Well then I would go for this.

When it comes to Final Fantasy XIV...

Should I get this this?

Or should I get this, this AND this?

No problem! Now go out and buy the PS4 version!

I just picked it up and will be starting fresh for the PS4 version as I haven't played in like 9 months!

You have to purchase the game before you are given an access code. Allow me to hold your hand a bit more:

These are all links to the PS4 pre-order page, which is exactly what you asked for. Not sure what the trouble is.

Also, you did not refer to any specific page in your original post.

Weird that the store doesn't offer the base game...
Amazon.com has the base game as a digital download for $19.99, $22.98 if he'd prefer a boxed version.
Maybe the game is on the PS Store as well?

MSRP is $40 and you can currently get it for $30.
