I bought the FFXI on steam today and it asks for an account on squareenix and playonline. I did my squareenix account but it needs to me linked with your playonline account that I don't know how to create. Can anyone help? I have no one else to turn.
Thanks
This, assuming you are from Europe:
http://www.playonline.com/homeeu/polshift/

or this, assuming you are from USA:
http://www.playonline.com/homeus/polshift/

I have no real experience in this matter, I don't have final fantasy. This is what I've got from a google search. Moral of this story: When in doubt, first thing you should do is use google.

I used google, the links you posted are for people that already have a playonline account, and it says how to create a squareenix account. I only got the squareenix. but thanks anyway =)
Use the "If you already have a Square Enix account...".

Press the big red Transfer PlayOnline ID to Square Enix Account. It asks you to login with your Square Enix accounts afterwards - do that and see what happens next. As I don't have neither of those account, I can't say.

EDIT: Checked some forums, and it seems that PlayOnline ID should have come with your game. It's not actually an account, but somewhat of a CD KEY, a number.

already did that, it's no use, cause they are already assuming that you have a playonline ID, which I don't, but when you launch the game and the playonline aplication pops up there is no option to register either, actually there is, but when you click it, it shows the link that you posted. It's a fucking maze!

EDIT: hmm, read the EDIT part of your post just now, gonna see if its the cdkey or something. thanks again

Try checking the keys that steam sent you, it SHOULD be there. Also, it is possible that the playonline registration server is down.

I'll try creating a Square Enix account and check a little further.

wow, thanks a lot.

well, steam only gave me the cdkeys, nothing at all about playonline, but it should be something that you have to register to gain access because in the squareenix site it asks you an ID and password.
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!
Whew, it actually worked!

Have fun playing your Final Fantasy.
