Can't get a PlayOnline account or password (Xbox 360)?Follow

Where did you get your FFXI Ultimate Collection from?

If you don't have a POL ID or registration codes that came with the game, it's probably a used copy. You'll need to buy a new copy to obtain a POL ID, we usually recommend buying the Abyssea collection from Amazon or Steam. The full game is fairly cheap, US$20, I think. This will give you required pieces of info that you can use for registering.

It does not matter that you're buying a PC copy, but really using an xbox. Accounts are not limited by platform.

So where does this code go? And if I buy the game on steam will I know where to find the registration code?

You can buy the PC code for $20 and apply it to your SE account, and then play it on Xbox. The actual accounts are platform independent.

You will want to purchase the "FFXI Abyssea Edition". It will contain all the necessary expansions and you will not need to buy any additional discs for your xbox.

I haven't set up an account in years, so I cannot walk you through setting up your account. I think if you go back to POL, it should step you through the process of setting up a new account and your POL ID will automatically be setup with the SE account you created. You should not need to transfer a POL account to an SE account- that was a process all of the veterans had to go through since SE accounts are a newer part.

I think I might be beginning to figure this out (thanks everybody for the help).



From seeing this, I thought to look at the Select Service page (which is located under the Services and Options tab at the bottom left corner of the account page) for PlayOnline / FINAL FANTASY XI. I then clicked on the PlayOnline logo, which said beneath it, "Add new PlayOnline service account." It then took me to this page ( https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app ) So I entered the code in the back of the booklet, and xypin was right in that the code had already been used.

So I now plan to buy the game on steam (FFXI Abyssea Edition) as to get the registration codes.




So does this mean I could have gotten a used copy of the standard Xbox 360 Final Fantasy XI (the one with just the first 3 expansion packs)? Also, this comment is slightly different from the one that marsupialboy had.



Could somebody possibly provide me some assistance with this?

I'm sorry but I am kind of confused by this. So what you are saying is that because I have the expansion packs and three of the add on- scenarios on disc, then I do not need a registration code? But I do get a registration code for the Abyssea expansions?

Also, does the Abyssea Collection have this "single 'collection' code"? If I use this code, will I be able to play all FFXI content included with the Abyssea Collection across platforms (remembering that I have the ultimate collection for xbox, which includes the 4 expansion packs, and 3 add on scenarios, and not the abyssea mini expansions). Is it possible to play the Abyssea mini expansions on my xbox?

Please clarify a bit more simply, if that is possible xP. I'm still really new at this, and thanks A LOT for your help. You've saved me a lot of trouble.

EDIT: Also, what do you mean by "(read: any)"? If that means anything...

Okay, this makes sense, thank you...

One question about the wings of the goddess for xbox 360. Does it include all the expansions, or just the one?

But if I buy the release of Wings of the Goddess, will this be the only expansion pack available, or will I also be able to play the other three?

Also, on what xbox releases can you play all four expansions?

So I got the Abyssea Collection on steam, and my steam client showed me two product codes. One code was labeled "FINAL FANTASY XI: Ultimate Collection - Abyssea Edition", and the other one was labeled "FINAL FANTASY XI: UC EDITION - Destrier Beret Key". I looked up the Destrier Beret and found that it was an in game item. I read that it can be redeemed on my square enix account.

I am also assuming that that is where I redeem "FINAL FANTASY XI: Ultimate Collection - Abyssea Edition", and that when I redeem this, I will get a play online account.

If I am mistaken in this at all, please tell me. If I do have the right idea about this, tell me, as well.

However, I ran into another problem while I was trying to redeem the code for "FINAL FANTASY XI: Ultimate Collection - Abyssea Edition". I went to this page ( https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app ) where I typed the CD key for "FINAL FANTASY XI: Ultimate Collection - Abyssea Edition", and because I am 17 years old, it gave me this message:

PARENTAL CONSENT REQUIRED

According to the birth date entered, you are between the ages of 13 and 17. PlayOnline accounts are available only to individuals who are at least 18 years of age; therefore, you are not allowed to complete the registration.
If you are between the ages of 13 and 17 and wish to participate on to the PlayOnline service, you must have a parent or legal guardian complete the registration process and agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions provided within and throughout the PlayOnline service.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

The only option after this was to go back, which takes you back to the Services and Options page ( https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/poltop )

I would prefer to keep my accurate age with my accounts, so can anybody help me with this?

There are no links to anything that would let a parent or legal guardian complete the registration process or anything, so I'm at a loss (again).

So how can I have a parent or legal guardian give me consent to play (so to speak)? What what needs to happen? Do I need a new Square Enix account or something?

How do I do that?

The Square Enix account, right? I just create a new Square Enix account under a parent's name?

xP sorry for the trouble, by the way

Okay... I'll come back when I have another issue... thanks again.

Well, if you're comfortable with lying on legal documents... SE would have the right to ban your account if they found out, though.

But if I'm playing years from now when I'm over 18, am I going to be stuck on a parent's account?

Is there any way to change one's Square Enix account?

Hehe okay

And just double checking, the CD key I got on steam will become my playonline id, correct?

EDIT: Yes, it does. Duh.

Can anybody help out with Options/ Content ID stuff?

When you sign up for Options, does the regular $11.95 subscription fee start at the same time as the $1.00 for the character (after the 30 trial, of course)?

How can I have a parent or legal guardian's consent so to speak I play? What needs to be done? Tighter the fit warmer will be the Designer Black Leather Jackets For Men for you. You can even get a Hooded Down Jackets For Men at cwmalls.com which is not as warm for areas that have warmer weather.
