Unlinking a Previous Account
If your PSN is linked to an old or incorrect Square Enix account, you may need to unlink it. Some users have reported success doing this directly through the Square Enix account management website. Try logging into your new Square Enix account, navigating to “Linked Accounts,” and attempting to de-link your PSN ID.
Linking to Your Correct Account
Once unlinked, you should be able to link your PSN to your desired Square Enix account. The process usually involves logging into the Square Enix account website, selecting “Linked Accounts,” and then signing into your PSN account when prompted.
Important Considerations
- Purchased Content: Ensure you’re using the correct Square Enix account associated with your FFXIV game licenses and expansions on both PC and PlayStation.
- Multiple Service Accounts: Some players use multiple service accounts. If you’re considering buying an additional service account via the PSN store, be aware that it will likely require a separate Square Enix account. This might not be the solution if you want to use your existing characters and progress.
- Sony Entertainment Network vs. Square Enix Account: Remember that your SEN (PSN) account is distinct from your Square Enix account. The Square Enix account is where your FFXIV licenses are registered, and the PSN account provides access on the PlayStation platform.
- Customer Support: If you encounter difficulties, contacting Square Enix customer support is highly recommended. They can assist with account unlinking and linking issues.
Troubleshooting
If you’re still having trouble, here are some common troubleshooting steps:
- Double-Check Credentials: Verify that you’re using the correct login details for both your Square Enix account and your PSN account.
- Clear Cache and Cookies: Clear your browser’s cache and cookies before attempting to link accounts.
- Disable VPN: Disable any VPN connections that might interfere with the linking process.
- Try a Different Browser: Use a different web browser to see if the issue persists.
