Heavensward CE preorders not being released in AUS???

[Rostum]

I'm still crossing my fingers. At the very least I wish they'd just charge us a shipping premium from the EU store, since we use the exact same version of the game.

[LadyLarunai]

We are getting shafted once again.. really really disappointing..

I cannot preorder from either NA or EU. I don't even care if the codes don't work, I am happy to pay extra for a digital CE on top just so I can get the physical stuff. But the SE online stores literally refuse to ship to Australia.

American friends help solve this but it's still $170au before shipping due to currency conversion

The US and EU collectors edition cods are different. The US Collectors edition box cannot be used on an EU account.

A possibly stupid question for anyone with a physical copy of ARR: did it have warranty info inside it? (I'm wondering if that would hint at which company is distributing XIV, as it has varied in the past): for instance 13 was Ubisoft, LR was Namco-Bandai

[Arthen_Fushichou]

Knowing the Distributor/Vendor isn't really going to help solve the problem we are experiencing. It's just going to cause it to broaden, Besides I'd hate to chase after the only company left that may be able to save us all.

[Catapult]

Well, this is disappointing.

Local Australian retailers are just as perplexed at this as they were at Nintendo's decision to not attempt to meet the demand for Amiibo. Not a good look. >_>
"Surely, we'd be stocking it!"

[EU_Community_Team]

Can we please have some confirmation EU_Community_Team that the BOXED CE will be sold in at least one of our gaming stores in Australia/New Zealand (EB Games, JB Hi Fi) PLEASE?

Greetings,

We can confirm that the physical (boxed) Collector's Edition will definitely be available at certain retailers (EB Games included) in Australia and New Zealand.

*nods* Thank you for the communication. We very much appreciate that we will not be left out.

Indeed, thank you so much for this information! Now hopefully this will be the end of all the worrying and paranoia.
