Profanity: Once again press the the big red linking button, it should take you to your account:
There's a white button on the right, that has the "PLAYONLINE" sign, and there's red writing under it saying "Add new PlayOnline service account."
When I press it, it takes me to some log, with a button next, I of course press that. And THEN, it takes me to the part where I need to enter my PlayOnline registration code, which I bet it's the CD KEY given to you by steam. Try entering it.
If the keys don't match, I think you'll have to contact the support... both Square Enix and Steam.
it worked, although i had tried that before, but used the wrong key, thank you very much for helping me out!
