How to register game key after buying from steam?

[rubenmontez13]

I bought the game on Steam awhile ago but have only recently been able to get my account through Square Enix running. How do I register my game key for FFXIV? I don't know where to find the key.

Right-click the game in your library list and "View CD-Key".

That CD Key doesn't fit where I need to put it on at the website. I need to register my one time password but I can't do that until I have registered my copy of FFXIV

You use Mogstation[secure.square-enix.com] to handle all account registration needs for FFXIV. If you already have a Square Enix account, use that. If it says your username and password is incorrect, try using your e-mail address associated with the account rather than the ID "name" since SE may have changed the ID "name" for the account.

Alright, I am on the last step. All I need is my registration password(obtained from the One Time Password page after logging in to the Square Enix Account Management System)
But I am on that page and I see no password. As well as the email I got from starting the ordering process for my one time password gave me this

Inquiry Number: 14042 4030 9204 1081

But I am not sure where that is important.

Do you have a token or authenticator? If not, ignore the One Time Password fields as you can't use them.

Registration Process for FFXIV is:

1. Make a Square Enix account. This requires an e-mail confirmation. Certain services are reported to have troubles doing so, but you're supposedly beyond this step so it shouldn't affect you.
2. Log in to Mogstation.
---> To log into Mogstation, use your e-mail address and password. Unless you have an authenticator/token/One-Time Password, ignore the One-Time-Password field as this is part of the two-factor security for your account that you haven't activated yet. You can add one later if you'd like.
3. Register your CD-Key.
4. Play

FFXIV doesn't require you to provide billing information to use your first 30 days. However, this means that at the end of the 30 days you will not be able to play any more.

As said before, you need to do all account management for Final Fantasy XIV in Mogstation[secure.square-enix.com].

I cant seem to log into mognet or the launcher, I can log into the website just fine but found out I can only log in using my email and not my username. since mognet needs the right username (what i was putting in i think was the nickname?) how do i find my username when logged into http://eu.square-enix.com/?

You don't. Log in to Mogstation using a combination of your e-mail adderess and password. You'll find your current "Square Enix ID" is in the top right hand corner. SE likes to change it (usually adding a number if you selected a name thatisn't unique) without notice.

i dont think you can log into mognet with an email. it just says username, i tried with email anyway just to make sure but still no luck.

in the top right is my nickname, which may be the same as my user but ive already tried to use that to log in too. again no luck.

i think the issue for me is my account is an EU account and will only work on the EU website. whereas the launcher and mainsite/mognet dont use EU account infomation. i could be wrong but i cant see any other way round that. unless it is just an issue server side with certain accounts.

to bypass all this i did try to create an account from the launcher, using a different email (the one i used for the EU site strangly is already in use but also doesn't exist). the launcher crashed half way though verifying with a new email and has put the half made account in limbo and is now no use to anyone.

my advice to anyone with the issue like mine is to create a new account with the launcher (varify the ffxiv local files before doing so, they can be a bit buggy), square servers are a real mess right now tho and support is down so there might be some issues with new accounts.

edit: when i say mognet i mean mogstation, not mognet.

Make sure you set the language to your region at the top right.

I'm sure i did but just made sure again and still "ID or password is incorrect."
using both email and username/nickname, with the password and email that logs me onto http://eu.square-enix.com/.

Very odd. but thanks for the help, much appreciated.

[Freyar]

Did you change/verify the region before you attempted to log in?

[Inkk]

yup, using both my username and with email while making sure of case sensitivity.
I can remember 11 being like this though. i'll have to reinstall since when varifying the local files, some where corrupt. which may explain why the buttons on the launcher where buggy.

but instead of fixing those files it decided to just reinstall the whole thing. which i'll do tomorrow now. then make a new email account just for this game, then try that using the launcher.
