Seekers of Adoulin Pre-Order (EU)

[Chopski]

Good news, the PC version is now up under pre-orders on the EU SE store.

Even up on the Australian store.

Got a link? I can only see it as coming soon, no way to pre-order it.

I still don't see a "preorder" link on either the POL website or the Adouline one.
Where did you guys preorder it from?

Yea have you got a link please? All I get on the EU Store is 'Coming Soon' no pre order link.

[Zhronne]

Which store are you talking of Kugo?
(link please)

https://store.eu.square-enix.com/eme...load/mmorpg/1/That's the one I've found. Guess this is the closest until release date.

Square Enix recently released Tomb Raider.

They gave a international price out months before and pre-orders happened soon after.
They also gave reductions in price for pre-ordering.
They had the game on steam.

So knowing that Square Enix can easily do these things, I plan on taking 2-4 month break until the money saved from my subscription = the full game price on steam.

Imo, this level of service is not really acceptable for an AAA game studio considering interdependent studios are able to deliver the small amount of requests we had such as a price and being able to pay for the game. Either way, the expansion won't even be complete when released so I won't be missing much outside of playing the new jobs.

FFXI isn't an AAA game. It may have been ten years ago, but not today. It is literally not worth the attention that new titles are.

Investment in a game has to be comparable to its expected return. At this point, the budget and expected return are probably on a scale similar to mobile games; Crystal Defenders is probably a more appropriate comparison.

If you want the same fanfare as Tomb Raider, you should expect to pay Tomb Raider's price of $60 for the new Ultimate Collection.

So.... I live in Australia and I can't find any Australian/New Zealand Xbox 360 versions for pre-order. So way I see it I'll be forced to import just to get the expansion. I think this was poorly planned for a new expansion since the lack of EU details till now. What's worse is labeling Australian/New Zealand part of the world with EU.

Considering how unpopular FFXI is here in AUS (no thanks to having to pay in euros even though AUD is a major global currency...) I highly doubt EB or JB Hi-Fi would order any copies in (there is STILL a singular brand new copy of Wings of the Goddess for 360 sitting on the shelf 3 yrs later in my local JB Hi-Fi >.> so if they cant shift that why would the order more unmovable product? lol).

Yet another reason why I would never play this game on console.. least on PC I can download it.

Link please? Only think I can find is what Kugo posted (which is just a "coming soon" not a preorder)

Less than a week to go and all we have is a "we'll get back to you with info on preorders opening later" message.

Can you please at least tell us if orders will open before release day so we can have it on our accounts and ready for download, because it is going to be hard enough with the download servers being overloaded, we don't need to have the servers running the EU shop also be overloaded, increasing the risk of purchase issues, which would further delay getting to the new content.
