Seekers of Adoulin Pre-Order (EU)

[Sargent]

I've seen websites allowing the pre-order of Seekers of Adoulin in both Japan and the US, but having thoroughly looked on the UK sites, I'm unable to find anyone with the new expansion even on their website. Can SE release details of the expansion to these retailers and an RRP assuming a disc copy is available in the EU?

[Kaisha]

Nothing for Canada either from the usual sites (Amazon.ca/EB Games/FutureShop/Walmart/Steam) for either the digital PC version, or the 360 disc copy.

[MAXWINTER]

Just re-subcribed after long time away even though final fantasy 14 will be game i focused on, i want try ff11 out for this month and for the expansion.
Will this be a download expansion or just in box?

[Mayoyama]

For PC, seems like it will be download only... for xbox I'm pretty sure it will be relased on disc

[Alamah]

I've also been trying to find this. I'm pretty sure the PC version will be up for download on the day of release, but I play primarily on Xbox and I can't find an Xbox physical copy for pre-order anywhere. As it gets closer to release, I'm starting to worry that my friends (mostly American) will be doing all of the new content without me :(

[Alhanelem]

You should be able to get it straight from SE if from nobody else- it's at least up on the NA SE store.

[Lollerblades]

Yes more info for the UK / EU side of pre-order would be greatly appreciated. JP/NA aren't the only ones that would like to pre-order.

[woie]

no it will be half assed like this game always has in the EU took me a week and a 50mile trip to find a copy of WotG when it came out i dont hold up much hope for playing the new expansion before sometime in june

[Damane]

You should be able to get it straight from SE if from nobody else- it's at least up on the NA SE store.

the links on the official playonline site for EU: UK/GER/FR give you only the possiblity to roder the ultimate abyssea colleciton, but not seekers of adoulin

[Shadowkrusha]

I'm hoping it's better than when they released FF VII on the SE store.

We had to wait over a month for it to be available here in Australia :/

[Fushichou]

Wouldn't be surprised if there's region issues for them trying to get Adoulin sorted for EU. There's still time, but it's kind of annoying that there's been no update towards the Release EU pre-orders yet NA's are sorted via several websites. Any chance on a rep response?

[Amelimie]

I've also been trying to find PAL xbox 360 version to pre-order, kind of a worry when even SE's Europe online store not stocking it.

[erish]

I've also been trying to find PAL xbox 360 version to pre-order, kind of a worry when even SE's Europe online store not stocking it.

I know im also in this situation some kind of update would be nice.

[Amaroq]

Im from EU but think i installed the NA version of the game...even though i bought it from amazom.co.uk. Im guessing i have to download the NA version of the expansion. Does it even matter with PC which version you install?

[Samosa]

If you have an EU account then you have to use the EU POL viewer, so going by that logic i assume you would have to buy an EU copy of Adoulin, which I can't see at the moment. Hopefully we get an answer soon.

[madlavitz]

Just spent the last 30 minutes talking to Amazon support to try and find out if they will be selling Adoulin. But all i got was they have flagged that there .com site has it but not the co.uk just keep checking the co.uk over the next few weeks to see if its been added.

[Amaroq]

Yea could someone on the dev team maybe give us an update or something?...

I installed the NA PC version of this game...actually thought it was the EU till i later checked the box. Im from EU and bought it from a EU website, but played fine so i didnt care. Is my POL viewer NA or EU now and how does that effect which version of Adoulin i download?

Bottom line - Can both NA and EU PC users download and install the NA version?...if not...when will be EU version be available to pre-order?

[NDSI]

Only thing that you have to look at is what type of account you have: EU, NA, JP.
Registration codes from JP/EU, can NOT be registered on a NA account, and vica versa.

Tho I just hope SE adds the buy registration code to the Square-Enix Account Management System and PlayOnLine Viewer, I don't see the need for people who have multiple chars to buy to buy a boxed/digital copy for every single character.

[erish]

Coming up on nearly 1 month since the OP posted and still nothing on the EU side even hinting at release date or pre-order. At this point im sure im not alone in wondering if EU will even see release.

[Stuggie]

I have called all the popular retailers in the UK plus SE support and still no real answer about this, most stores know nothing about it? A rep response would be nice.

[Rezeak]

Why is there no information on this ?

Also, I can understand there may be some Xbox issue releasing an expansion for basically dead game in the EU but they're easy enough work arounds. (For example SoA could be released in the same way as the abyssea/other mini expansions).

But on the PC side of it, I have no clue why SE isn't even advertising it for their EU store. Either way, if SE is having trouble with international releases it might be something they should work on since it's something the rest of the gaming industry has move past like 3-4 years ago.

With that said, I would have to give kudos for SE continued French and German support for the game but i do find it weird there is no Spanish support for their games.

[Stuggie]

1600 views and still no answer? Why no update/info?

[Clayron]

with SoA release just over a month away i started to look for places i can pre-order it, after awhile looking around afew websites i cant seem to find it anywhere (im looking for the xbox 360 version btw in the uk), even the official SoA dont have anywhere listed or even a price as of yet...... has anyone had any luck finding it yet? and it would be nice if a rep could help us out and maybe list afew places we could get us poor eu's always get forgotten about.... :\

[EU_Community_Team]

Hello!

Thanks for your posts and sorry that we coundn't get back to you immediately!
We are currently working on updating the retail page and will soon be able to provide you with the juicy info! We really appreciate your patience!

[erish]

Thanks for the response, perhaps next time though you could at post something alittle sooner than a month later after the orginal post?

[Demon6324236]

A month is quite a long time, and the fact we suffer lower quality service because SE cant be bothered to get a few more reps is pathetic. This question has been popping up over the last month a few times because people have been having an impossible time pre-ordering the game or even finding out simple info such as the price. Perhaps I would be a bit more understanding if there was some actual info even given in the post, but instead, its asking people to wait longer for info. No matter what job I am doing I assure you I can normally take 30 seconds to explain I need a bit of time to get your stuff for you, rather than ignoring you for a month only to finally say "Hold on, Ill get that for you in a few days!".

Do I understand its only a few people? Yes, some questions which are a bit more complex or get answers which are more complex I can understand a wait time of a week or two, a month seems a bit drastic for any info. But the fact we got an answer of which is very little help, and it took an entire month to get said answer, seems a bit wrong if you ask me.

What SE really needs to do in either case is put more resources back into FFXI so the game can get going faster again, the game is by no means dead yet, but they give it the bare minimum. The staff seems to have little time for anything but SoA, and has been that way since it was announced, not to mention the fact we share a rep team with an entirely different game. Our forums seem to get so little attention because everything the entire English forums seem to produce for ideas are ignored, while any response we get is generally a copy/paste of something said on the JP side with English posts put in quotes to make it look like they care. Anyone here due to lack of info or problems with these forums has a right in my opinion because it seems terrible, and has a sense of need for massive improvement.

So while I admit some of it may have been misguided annoyance, I think the annoyance itself is justified.

So while I admit some of it may have been misguided annoyance, I think the annoyance itself is justified.

in case you didn't know, FFXI and FFXIV share the same community team members. i agree that FFXI needs more DEV resources, but getting more community resources.... not so much. SE has the community team out of COURTESY to the player base, and as a Japanese company they have gone even further out of their way to ensure that the information is available to you in English.

i wholeheartedly agree with your annoyance, and I'm not even contesting it. I'm simply vindicating their justifiable actions since they are incapable of doing so without recourse.

[Demon6324236]

If the community team is the cause of the slow response as your previous post implied, then we do in fact need more of them, as to alleviate that problem. There is no reason we should have to wait a month for a reply to a simple question, which tells us nothing more than to wait, while others go without answers entirely, just because they have us sharing with the newer, shinier game which is now in beta. The games are separate, and should have separate teams working on them, not only in development, but also in their duties on the forums and communicating with the players.

[Kraggy]

so i should be thankful it took them a whole month to write something that took less than a couple of mins while leaveing the WHOLE EU community in the dark for a month yeah please let me so thankful for that.
Because everyone knows how Goddam important it is to be able to pre-order umpteen weeks ahead of release.

[Kraggy]

Either way, there is a reason the for every 10 NA players there is about 1 EU player.
Stop being hysterical.

[Demon6324236]

Because everyone knows how Goddam important it is to be able to pre-order umpteen weeks ahead of release.Actually, yes. You see, with how this game is, within a week of the expansion coming out people will have found amazing pieces of gear and how to get them, very quickly, it will become the normal, and people without it will be 'gimp' so without the ability to assure yourself that you are one of the first people to goto the new content, you are possibly creating future problems for yourself within the community. You see, were this just a shooter or something coming out, you would miss out on a few ranks, or not know maps as well, but in the case of this game, you may be excluded out of old content, because you do not have new content. For that very reason it is understandable to want to make absolutely sure you can access the new content as soon as possible.

Rage post.....

http://i3.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/010/692/19789999.jpg

lol you have no clue what a rage post is...

a rage post is where one party makes based/unbased claims about a situation, topic, or event in a "angry" or upset manner with the sole purpose of expressing ones dissatisfaction for the theme in question (Aka what you did).

a FLAME is where someone deliberatley makes a post about someone specifically attempting to get a "rise" or response from the target.

what i did here was closer to a flame, however my intent was not to get a response, more of a "hey, your being illogical and you need to stop".

I didn't call you names, i simply acknowledged your stance / attitude as "ignorant"

FYI "Ignorant" is not a noun or pronoun therefore it cannot be considered name calling. see Google dictionary definition below

ig·no·rant
/ˈignərənt/
Adjective
Lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated.
Lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular: "ignorant of astronomy".

lastly, "please go die in a fire" is a common american forum expression that is loosely used; it carries no true significance.

i also think you owe our moogle friend an apology for your ill thought comment....

[erish]

All those posts and yet mine isnt the posts being removed, The ignorance is because you assume that im the one who didnt know when infact i quite clearly did know, as your prvious posts show this is your ignorance not mine.

Secondly my post simply asked for the response to be "sooner" next time, nothing more, you took this as being insulting when other people in this very thread have clearly aggreed with my stand point. This is you being a "Rager" argueing for the sake of argueing not me being out of line perhaps you should take a break for the forums if you consider my post to be offensive because honestly its just getting your panties in a twist over nothing.

Edit: im not really going to bother defending myself anymore there is no need its clear you have lost, even the forums have removed your posts. this is my last post but i doubt you will stop any time soon.

[hideka]

lol. the post was removed because the line " please die in a fire " can be construed as threatening; which violates the forum ToS, hence why i re-posted it with the questionable item removed.

just for the sake of being correct, one of your posts WAS deleted by the moderators, however it was simply because you had quoted my original post.

Your post comes across as condescending.
the way you phrased it comes across as "oh... thanks... next time suck less and try harder"

After having re-read your posts and i have come to realize that you have either probably never picked up an English text book, your first language wasn't English, or your under the age of 13. i mean really? argueing? i could have written it off as a mistake if you hadn't done it twice, not to mention inventing words, and the gross lack/miss-usage of commas in your posts. >_>

id have to guess from your usage of the term "Rager" that your native tongue is french .. since that's not an English word.

[Rezeak]

Since your so concerned about English.

As far as "Rager" goes, you can consider it slang for someone that rages and is as much as an English word as lol or >_>.

Also, starting by writing "lol. The post" should of probably been written LOL, the post since just "Laughing out loud" isn't much of a sentence but is probably better used as a discourse marker.

^^ My English is terrible on forums, so I never really have an issue with other peoples as long as I can understand the point. Of course, you seem very concerned about it so I'd thought I'd help out.

[EU_Community_Team]

Hi all,

Apologies for the extremely late response.
We understand that everyone is really excited about the new expansion and wants to be in on day one.

We would first of all like to assure you that we have not forgotten our EU players and we will be releasing a PC version (digital download only) and a XBox 360 version (boxed version). With regards to pre-orders, we are making some updates to store pages and we will let you know as soon as they are up :)

I am sorry I disagree they have had a release date for the expansion well in advance of the beta. They should of not made them both collide if they have not got the manpower to cope with both. Also SOA should have priority as that is the game that is released first. I also think they have more than 5 people working on both.

[madlavitz]

just been able to pre-order a copy with amazon.co.uk

[Afin]

question to the reps, are you able to tell us if this download will be availiable on steam? or just a few other places?

[Demon6324236]

Also, ARR is not releasing first, as the expansion is next month, while ARR has no current release date, unless you were referring to the beta. ARR should not really have priority as it is a game in progress that has not yet been finished or released, it is in testing phases, where as this one is on the market already with people paying out of their pockets each month to play it.

I disagree with them as well, but I find your points lacking, and believe you misinterpreted some of the post you quoted due to your response.

[EU_Community_Team]

Hi Afin,

We are working to get this distributed on a number of sites including Steam and our Square Enix EU online store.
The pre-order pages not up yet but they are on the way.

Also as madlavitz pointed out, amazon.co.uk are taking pre-orders for Xbox 360!

[Jackstin]

Will the full Seekers edition of Final Fantasy XI be available in EU for the 360?

Corrected post meant SOA not ARR

[Zhronne]

So no Physical version for PC in Europe? But why?!
It's coming out on physical format in both the US and JP, there are even 2 versions, just the expansion and a super mega-box with all of the content released so far, including a new jacket.

Why aren't you releasing a physical box for Europe as well?! :(

Xbox360 is the only platform receiving a physical box besides PS2 for Japan.

aye, cheers for letting us know good deatails on this, we were all starting to get worried =/, but all is good now =D

[Kraggy]

Searching for "Adoulin" only finds an XBox version for me.

Actually, yes. You see, with how this game is, within a week of the expansion coming out people will have found amazing pieces of gear and how to get them, very quickly, it will become the normal, and people without it will be 'gimp' so without the ability to assure yourself that you are one of the first people to goto the new content, you are possibly creating future problems for yourself within the community.

For that very reason it is understandable to want to make absolutely sure you can access the new content as soon as possible.
being able to preorder it now or 1week before release doesn't change anything, you wont be able to download it before release, nor play before server launch.
And I hope nobody will be able to reach last tier of the "end game" (if any) released on launch in one week

I agree I wished we get a physical PC release, but the striked part is wrong, US doesnt get physical PC release

[Zhronne]

Yeah just noticed. Did they edit the US page? I'm bloody sure when they first announced it there was both digital and physical versions for the "full pack", while only digital for the "expansion only".

[Ophiuchus]

So how is this PC digital download going to work? Are we going to have to uninstall our current FFXI and download and re-install the new Seeker's edition in order to get Seeker's content? Or would the digital download just download the files that one needs and add them to the current FFXI installation?... I have a feeling the latter would be less likely knowing SE's installation methods.

[Sargent]

I believe it will download a zip with the installer, which will then install Adoulin as it would via disc. Thats at least what the Ultimate Collection did. The code should be sent via e-mail.

Any news on where it'll be available for PC?

[RagingAvatar]

So is the Seekers Edition for 360 coming to Europe or not?

[Samosa]

I'm normally a pretty patient kinda guy, but this is starting to get a bit ridiculous. We want to give you our money SE, but we aren't able to, can we have a concrete time when the pre order will be available?

[Stuggie]

The expansion is ready for pre order at Amazon.co.uk but as for the full seeker's edition no sign as of yet, I have a few friends who want to play and need the full version to install, I could also use a new full version disc as mine is getting old.

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

Yeah just noticed. Did they edit the US page? I'm bloody sure when they first announced it there was both digital and physical versions for the "full pack", while only digital for the "expansion only".

Boxed products are JP only.

[Kaisha]

So US/Europe have their pre-order options. What about Canadians for the 360 release? Still nothing on any of the usual sources, unless I want to pay extra on shipping and wait a whole week to bring a copy up from the US.

[XxCo0kyxX]

im from germany and we still can´t pre-order/buy the Xbox Edition anywhere...
So will this addon be released in germany for xbox 360 or no?
If so... how/where/when?

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

im from germany

Have you tried the German forums yet? Or do you think the English forums get more rep love?

[dragonfate]

question to the reps, are you able to tell us if this is download for the Xbox 360 or will be available on a disk for the Xbox 360?

[Afin]

i think it is a disc, as i've already pre ordered my xbox disc from amazon.co.uk, and far as i got a reply last time, it seems digital will b p.c. only and xbox 360 will be disc

[dragonfate]

i think it is a disc, as i've already pre ordered my xbox disc from amazon.co.uk, and far as i got a reply last time, it seems digital will b p.c. only and xbox 360 will be disc


ooooooo ok i did not know what the Rep meant thank you

[Sargent]

As much as a pre-order for 360 is appreciated, can you give us details on where to get Adoulin for PC? Not a peep on Amazon or the SE Store. Two weeks before release without word on this is ridiculous.

[Masekase]

Yes I think it is stupid the way this is handled so far. Seems like they dont really care if we buy it or not.

[Rezeak]

There really isn't an excuse anymore, I mean SE releases games internationally at the same time, all the time so why drop the ball on something so simple as this.

[NDSI]

I am more wondering when you will beable to purchase registration codes from the Square Enix Account system, or do they expect us to buy multiple X360/PC versions because every character needs it's own code... which results in some people having to buy 5+ copies for the X360 because it is the only available way... and with that being said, have other ppl locked out because there is not enough STOCK...
It has been 2 weeks that they said they were working on the distriburtion of this expansion, and they only managed to get it to Amazon.co.uk for the X360... if it was not for the rediculous region registration code lock they put on FFXI we would not be having this problem right now, cause you could of purchased a JP or US version!

[TimeMage]

I'm really amazed at this. They've announced the version update before we Europeans can even preorder it! And not a single word from SE regarding this yet.

[Zhronne]

Why is this taking so long? Please sort it out, Square-Enix. It's not difficult.

If this is really an attempt at staggering regions because you don't want everyone in the new zones at once ... this is 2013.

[Eldelphia]

It would be reassuring to hear that the whole region will not be excluded from play on release date. Please can we have an update?

maybe should do a poll on good the support on the forum is and therefor how good the reps do their job..

[woie]

and every day i think..... i pay for this service
14 days and counting till i quit this game, but then thats what you want isnt it $E ....well played
as if 13-2 wasnt enough of a kick in the balls (thnaks for paying for the game but if you want the real ending you have to pay us more for the DLC) now this
seems like they dont know their ass from their elbow (hint your elbow is the one you dont have your head up)

seems like they dont know their ass from their elbow (hint your elbow is the one you dont have your head up)Well in their defense, they are stupid for doing the DLC thing but that is the stupid abusive mistake that many companies have been making recently, mostly Capcom from what I understand. Games like Asura's Wrath did the same thing, withholding the ending behind DLC, though to be honest I think SE did it in a much more minor of a way. The DLC ending to FFXIII-2 was not all to informative to me, it explained a small bit of how the plot would go forward, but would I say they kept the real ending for DLC? No.

I am more inclined to blame DLC and the abuse companies have been participating in involving it, such as day 1 DLC and the like, or promotional DLC, things where they add things to the game which are intentionally left out so they can make a few extra bucks. I can not really say I think SE was in the wrong though, they added what seems like a small bit of story to the game, part of what DLC is even meant for, it was meant to bridge to the next game because many people felt the ending kinda just left off on a massive cliffhanger, and that somewhat helped the problem people were having.

On the subject of this game, I have to say I think it is a mistake to quit literally the day after the expansion which is in 13 days where as you said you are quiting in 14. The game may get a lot of new things, the chances are not extremely high, but the chance is there, and I think it is worth giving it at least a chance if you held out this long.

[Zarabi]

Okay seriously, where is the EU PC preorder. Getting very impatient here. :mad: Please give us some more information at least!

Just re-subcribed after long time away even though final fantasy 14 will be game i focused on, i want try ff11 out for this month and for the expansion.
Will this be a download expansion or just in box?

I got similar question too. But i'm more curious about registration code sales at SE account management system. Seeing SE eshop isn't really friendly to non-NA customers (not sure why this...but even digital sales are troublesome there. When my sister decided to start FFXI at the end of last year i had to buy a Xbox physical box (even though i don't even own a Xbox) because the eshop was "region-picky") i'd love to be able to buy the registration codes directly from account page just like we did with add-ons since client might be easy to find online.

[alphamone]

This is getting very disappointing.

Come on SE, we WANT to give you money, but you are not letting us, and it is just under two weeks till release.

[Muras]

The Canadian Amazon website (Amazon.ca) isn't any different than the European one. Both sites just have the 360 version up, although the EU one is the regular version while the Canadian one is the Collector's Edition. Very weird.

A question to the community reps if they're reading this thread (Or any other Canadian who might have made an attempt)... Are Canadians able to purchase and download the expansion from the SE store? Because the American Amazon website (Amazon.com) is no good and only works for US buyers for some wacky reason, so if Amazon is no good the SE store is pretty much my only hope.

You can purchase it as Canada, NA website covers the whole northern america region.

[gtag]

As much as a pre-order for 360 is appreciated, can you give us details on where to get Adoulin for PC? Not a peep on Amazon or the SE Store. Two weeks before release without word on this is ridiculous.
EU gets shit on again.... WTF SE

[EU_Community_Team]

Hi all,

First of all we would like to apologise for the lack of information on the upcoming expansion for EU players. We understand everyone’s frustrations and we do not take pleasure in making our loyal fans angry.

Some of you are concerned that the expansion will not be released in time. However, rest assured that we will still be releasing Seekers of Adoulin on the 27th March as scheduled.

The PC version will be digital download only so we won’t be running out of copies for sure.
With regards to pre-order information for the PC, we will provide you with concrete details on where you can get it next week.

Once again we are sorry for having to make you wait.

[Lollerblades]

I think I won't be the only one in saying "about bloody time"

Nice to see we haven't been forgotten at least

[Atikka]

so still no update on the collectors edition on the 360 for UK players, or normal version for those who play in Canada?

[Ryokai]

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.

Australia has been at the whims of EU releases since the days of the NES. Its the reason why we got probotector instead of contra, and why we sometimes need to wait up to a year for major games to be translated into the main European languages even if an English translation is available. Even then we still had to have someone distribute it locally. I don't think I saw any physical copies of WotG in stores until a couple of weeks after my PC version arrived in the mail from England.

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

and why we sometimes need to wait up to a year for major games to be translated into the main European languages even if an English translation is available.

On the plus side, that means AU/NZ got the only English-language version of Enix's Terranigma (you bastards).

whats this no pc version in a box?? EU shit on again or what?
if i have to format my pc or i build a new pc, i then have to install from a 5 year old disc,(2008 edition) then donwload 5 years of updates as well as abyssea and now SOA and its the same for lolbox 360 but that takes me almost a full day (19+hours) to install and set up playing. EU really need's new disc's, and who knows it might bring some new players to the game.

[Kjara]

I just hope the ultimate collection download is going to be there as well... I'm going to have to reinstall everything on a new computer soon and would like to not have to turn my house upside down and shake it to try and find all my old discs.

That, and I want my choco shirt.

[RagingAvatar]

Is there going to be a boxed release for Seekers Edition X360 in EU?

[Kraggy]

Is there going to be a boxed release for Seekers Edition X360 in EU?
It's been pre-orderable from Amazon.co.uk for some time, I assume other Amazon EU sites are also selling it.

[Zhronne]

Guess what, its not just EU, its everyone outside of JP, so stop acting like its just EU players...
With the very first announcement of Adoulin there was a boxed version planned for PC too, but it got removed shortly after.
No clue if it was a typo (likely?) or if they just changed their minds.

But yeah, as of now no boxed versions planned for PC anywhere, think not even in japan maybe?

[Wystan]

Kraggy said: "It's been pre-orderable from Amazon.co.uk for some time, I assume other Amazon EU sites are also selling it."

this is true but not the ultimate collection i would be stuffed if i bought that disk without buying another ffxi disk so we really need to know where the hell we can buy it from.....and i cant even see it on the SE store but there was a nice FFXIV advert and purchase option on the front page.

GO SE GO don't try to hype us up or anything don't advertise it try your best to make sure no one has a single clue wtf it is you are selling.... 10/10 for the most retarded company still in the black.

[RagingAvatar]

It's been pre-orderable from Amazon.co.uk for some time, I assume other Amazon EU sites are also selling it.

Sorry but you're wrong.

Seekers of Adoulin is available but the full 'Final Fantasy XI: Ultimate Collection Seekers' Edition' is not available for Xbox 360 on Amazon.co.uk.

[XxCo0kyxX]

It's been pre-orderable from Amazon.co.uk for some time, I assume other Amazon EU sites are also selling it.
No.
amazon.co.uk is the only EU amazon site, the other EU amazons dont sell it yet....

[Windwhisper]

thanks for the headsup. :) Now i can stop worrying where to preorder so i can start playing it over easter

[Shadowkrusha]

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

Even up on the Australian store. :)

[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.

[Zhronne]

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

[Kugo]

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

Even up on the Australian store. :)

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)

[Kugo]

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

[Rezeak]

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.

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

Imo, this level of service is not really acceptable for an AAA game studio

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.

[Mayoyama]

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.

[Mayoyama]

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

Even up on the Australian store. :)

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

[alphamone]

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.

[Eldelphia]

I know that the expansion is going to be released, it's whether we actually get access to it which is currently in question. With less than a week to go, getting irritating mailshots from SE about other games and amazon telling me about the Xbox version isn't reassuring...

[Aldersyde]

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.

People wanting timely and accurate information about where they can actually get the game and having pre-orders function without errors is now considered fanfare. Who knew?

Considering that I have gotten every FFXI expansion for $29.99, the same price as Seekers, this launch is pretty laughable and pathetic, especially for a company who should know how to release a game. But hey, keep white knighting for them.

[Wystan]

Ok SE you don't want my money fine i no longer wish to buy Seekers i will go and buy a copy of monster hunter ultimate and play that instead thanks and to think i reactivated my account around christmas because of the expansion you got me excited about.............Why it is so hard to tell your customers in Europe where we can buy the ultimate collection for xbox360 i have no idea?

[Afin]

OK, so, its been almost a week, I really don't like to moan about things. I understand that you all work really hard for us, and i for one am thankful for it, but these concrete details and the fact that the eu store now only says coming soon. With 5 days left til release?, Isn't this cutting it a bit too close with a large eu player base? its going to be alot of lag to download this thing if we get the preorder on release day (ain't worried about the lag myself but) i see alot of people saying how EU and a few other countries feel like they're being either put last or don't get bonus items that NA and JP players can get. It just gets annoying in a sense, as we all like to play this game, but some get treated differently =/. If theirs different country laws or so i can understand that, but can we at least have info on why were either left til last second or excluded from these sorts of things.

I'll give you a bunch of trail cookies if you do =D........

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

What I was responding to:


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.

He's trying to compare it to the fanfare of a new, full-budget release. If you want to talk about something different, knock yourself out, but don't pretend I'm talking about the same thing.


Considering that I have gotten every FFXI expansion for $29.99, the same price as Seekers,

Again, I was responding by comparing a standalone game (Ultimate Collection, ~$40) to a standalone game (Tomb Raider, ~$60). But if you want to talk about the expansion pricing, the number of subscribers is down. If they're charging the same price but can only expect to sell 1/10 the number of copies, they're only going to spend 1/10 the amount on marketing, etc.

[Aequis]

Some of you are concerned that the expansion will not be released in time. However, rest assured that we will still be releasing Seekers of Adoulin on the 27th March as scheduled.

Have to wonder at the ambiguous wording in the above. None of us are concerned that SoA won't be released on 27th March - for those that can pre-order it. However, everyone posting in this thread - all of UK, EU and AUS players - are concerned we won't be able to order or pre-order before then, ultimately leaving us behind till goodness knows when.

We're all pretty frustrated for several reasons:


You don't seem to treat us as fairly as the other territories, yet we're all paying customers.
You ignore all attempts by us to request information. If this is due to internal issues that are complex / confidential, that's fine, but we'd appreciate simple updates.
We've waited a week and there is no update. The only change is on the EU SE store, which says "Coming Soon".
A lot of people re-subscribed specifically for this expansion but it's being handled very badly so far. Even the NA side is having issues with their pre-order, but at least they have access to that.


As far as I'm aware, we don't get the bonuses NA customers do (lower price for Ult Edition, a music box?) and yet we're having to deal with this and remaining polite.

I'm beginning to think we'll end up being able to order/download a few days later than JP and NA customers, which will mean we'll be playing catch-up again. If this is by design then I'm honestly not sure what to say, so I hope it's not. It would conveniently shift a lot of server traffic over for you by several days, however.

A great many of us are loyal fans that are just sitting here, waiting for any news, but there is none and each day brings us closer to launch. We're in the same position we were a month ago. All we're asking for is some equality.

Thank you for your time, and here's looking forward to an update soon.

[NDSI]

don't have to worry about the server traffic as it is being handled by digital river/steam, and even if the expansion download size (stand alone) is only 209 MB, so it is not that big of an installer to download.

[Sargent]

As far as I'm aware, we don't get the bonuses NA customers do (lower price for Ult Edition, a music box?) and yet we're having to deal with this and remaining polite.

At the very least, this should be included for us since we're having to put up with a lack of service in regards to being able to pre-order the expansion, as well as a lack of information as to why. This really should have been done months ago, it can't take that long to set up a pre-order page. We want to give you our money, why all the reluctance to take it?
I don't want this to seem like I'm having a go at the reps, because it's as far from their fault as it can get, but can you please chase this up? The EU playerbase is getting very (understandably) annoyed over this.

[Lollerblades]

Tick bloody tock...

It kind of ruins your faith in this company, they say one thing and do another.

Oh well they'll loose a lot of disgruntled customers at this rate!

[Jackstin]

Why does it matter when pre-orders are available, as long as it is available at some point before release? As far as I can tell you're all complaining because you feel entitled to pre-order when you want to pre-order regardless of what issues SE face at their end.

The one legitimate complaint here is that the EU 360 Seekers Edition was announced, but clearly isn't going to be ready for release, and possibly was never going to come. If that was the case it should never have been announced on the SoA website.

[alphamone]

Because it took 8 pages just to get a response, and that was just to say "we will get back to you". That is kind of horrible customer service as most games these days don't hold off preorders to less than 5 days before release. I honestly can't think of anything dramatic enough that could delay a digital download only release that wouldn't be able to be revealed (due to contracts or NDAs or something).

Heck, the only two issues I can think of is issues with PEGI (can't tell if it has been rated by them, but it has been rated in Australia so we aren't a cause of the issue), or issues with the translation into German or French (which itself goes back to PEGI issues as they would need finished translations to accurately rate it). So unless their translators are holding the translations hostage over pay issues or something, they should be able to tell us if the game was incomplete.

[XxCo0kyxX]

thx SE, release almost there and I still cant order it for Xbox 360 here in Germany, now I had to buy the Xbox Version from amazon.co.uk (the only shop on EU which sells the xbox version) and I will have to wait 2-3 after release till they deliver it here to me in germany.
I even asked the SE Live Support in germany even these didnt really know anything about the xbox version, but the website says "release for pc AND xbox"
Good Job because no matter what, I wont get the xbox version on release day. Even if they decide to put it up on the german store next week, I wouldnt get it anymore because of the delivery time.

and still no helpful post from any dev...

[tobyx]

Bad enough I have to purchase the soundtrack on amazon.co.jp and pay more for shipping than for the soundtrack itself (I like to have FF soundtracks as CDs because I'm an idiot). But considering I need the EU edition of Adoulin and can't even buy it, that's pretty harsh. Just stay true to your word ("information coming this week") and officially respond to this topic so we can rest in peace, please.

[Lollerblades]

Because as paying customers for this product and the services it provides , we should be entitled to the same promotions and pre-order stipulations as the other regions that also pay . So you'll have to forgive us if we are not happy with the service the company is providing us. With 5 days until release in the UK, I think with no new information on how to order the expansion is appalling. The same can be said for other customers effected by this across the globe !

[Fulgore]

Tip of the day: Dont wait on failga SE who allready turned there back to the EU playerbase and order your copy of SoA on amazon.uk today!
Pick 1 bizness day delivery and have you game on the 27th 1 day before servers go online...

Yes you have to pay more for the shippin cost but try to find sum friends who live near you and that want the game to, order mutliple disc and the cost arent that high really!
I ordered 3 copys and the total extra cost wil come down to 5 euro a disc more. wich is deff reasonable for me ... retail prices would have been 30bucks and now i pay 35!

I gladly pay 5 bucks more knowing that ill will have it before launch

Yes i know what you thinking : bloody SE should have did there marketing beter so we wouldnt have to deal with this bs but unfornataly things are the way there are , SO DONT WAIT FOR THIS SLACKING COMPANY and order your disc now!

[alphamone]

Amazon UK is not all that useful as that is only the Xbox360 version, which is useless to PC players, who can only get the digital download.

Not to mention that for any Australian players it would still arrive after the expansion goes live on the servers.

Dude really? Moaning for the sake of it? Atleast they winked towards pc players tru Digi DL!
There has been no word whats so ever for us EU xbox players so go cry sumwhere else plz..

[alphamone]

So, the players that currently have no way of ordering the game at all can't whine about it because another group currently has the ability, albeit only physically?

[NDSI]

Dude really? Moaning for the sake of it? Atleast they winked towards pc players tru Digi DL!
There has been no word whats so ever for us EU xbox players so go cry sumwhere else plz..

Cause the X360 version has been available on amazon.co.uk for weeks?

[Fulgore]

Yes and? Amazon is run by SE? No.

Can i order the ultimate collection for xbox on amazon ? No.

Wil it be downloadable for pc players before launch ? Yes.

Did i give a solid advise to EU xbox players ? Yes , i think so.

Do i need or want to hear ya wining bout a item that is gonna be a digi dl only? No.

[Kjara]

Do i need or want to hear ya wining bout a item that is gonna be a digi dl only? No.

If you don't need to hear (or rather, read) of someone whining, then you should avoid forums completely <.<

I honestly found it useful to know that Amazon only is giving the xbox version right now from alphamone's post. Saves me from going to check for my PC version.

[Afin]

as much as i love to play on the pc, i do have my xbox as a backup, i have pre-ordered my 360 copy, but i do feel for the numerous people that feel let down. iirc the same happened with the soundtrack+, we kept getting replies of we'll get back to you, we'll get back to you, and in then end, we never got an eu release, i'm guessing thats how many people fear this is going to go also. Or very delayed. It is a shame, and yeah their maybe reasons for it thats very complicated. Its not the eu community teams fault as they can only pass on the info from se themselves, i just feel se is very poor at giving out info until last minute. People just want to know instead of feeling like they're getting the door slammed in their faces. We all love to play this game, and i don't think its a case of people complaining that they can't get a pre-order, just more like they feel they're going to get left behind on certain things within the game (even though se does release storyline content once every blue moon). It does make it unfair to those that pay the same amount as jp, and na players do whichever way its looked at. The main issue is just lack of info from se themselves, sort that out and i don't think we'd have 14 pages of complaints =(

Thank you for the updated information for the PC users, however tho probally to be expected:

1. Why is there NO 5 track mini bonus album for the Ultimate collection, as there is for the US/JP? (not that it bothers me cause I don't need ultimate collection myself.)
2. Where are the links for the X360 users, that looking forward to the Ultimate collection? (not for myself but for others on the thread.)

Once again thank you.

[Jackstin]

Obviously the discount was an error. You know this. I know this. Its just another excuse to whine.

Fair play complaining about the lack of 360 Seekers Edition and 5 track mini album. This is obviously unfair. Everything else is just entitled bull.

[Drazzan]

So I've pre-ordered from that site. Thank You for providing that to us.
Though out of curiosity, are you able to provide a limited time download of the Soundtrack to EU Customers?
Say, a link that lasts for two weeks, for EU SE Account Holders who have activated Adoulin.
I'm sure everyone here would appreciate that.

Thank You.

I'll add some whine to this discussion. I'm currently an australian residing in hawaii for 3 month. So using an AU credit card,from an US ip address,on a UK website is an automatic denial,and as it seems now,a lock out from another attempt at a preorder. Why this could this not have been added to the log in page for FF (similar to how abyssea add ons where handled).

Hopefully i can get some resolve via email to the sites support. It shouldn't be so hard for me to give SE my money.

[Crossarius]

I have the steam version of FFXI and I'd like to have adoulin added to that so I can download the whole game through one source only instead of having to go to different sites/services, for when I have to reinstall FFXI.
Is there any information about when there will be adoulin added on steam?

[Komachii]

Need ultimate collection for the 360 or put up the game as on demand on live, im really affraid that my game disc going to die sometime.

As far as I can see you can use Paypal on this service, That'll work regardless of the Credit Card type as long as you have an account with them set up.

[Sargent]

Thank you very much, have some money.

[XxCo0kyxX]

its kind sad and funny at the same time, so many people ask about xbox version, yet they dont talk about xbox version, just keep ignoring us and post about the PC version, without even talking a single word about the xbox version release...

What is more depressing is the sheep don't care about others they are happy now they can buy it and couldn't care less about those still struggling to get it. But hey it's like the guy who just jumped in front of the train only thing people care about is that they will be late to work why should you care it wasn't your dad/friend/son that just died just some one who made you late.

So thanks for all the support fellow consumers glad you are happy shame you are too selfish to help others reach the same point.

[Roady]

I've just had to troll through this thread to find the link to pre-order the expansion, don't understand why SE can't be bother to post a link on the EU official page

What on earth are we supposed to do? They quite clearly aren't reading the thread (or at least aren't allowed to respond to us before things are confirmed), and the response the finally did give ignored our annoyance at the delay.

Given the time it took to get the regular 360 edition onto amazon, something like a physical special edition of a several year old MMO is something that would probably be very hard for them to convince a retailer to take, as it would probably be hard to convince them that most purchases of the ultimate edition will be people who own the full game and just want the bonus features.

Not to mention a digital download version is something that would require the cooperation of Microsoft, and you can bet that if they allowed it at all, they at the very least would require gold membership to purchase.

So the best solution in your view is to totally ignore the question? Great community management why with those kind of ideas you could be the head of the E.U community team.....

I just want an answer as to when or how i can buy the seekers ultimate collection for xbox360 in the E.U they seem to be selling it in NA on amazon so is it so hard for them to say sorry we aint going to sell it in the E.U? would it be better if they told us that they will not be selling it in the E.U?

No you carry on look after you it's what you were born to do. Why not try seeing it from others point of view and ask SE to sort it out, That you feel the level of ignorance SE display is disgusting the way they treat customers in the E.U NA or JP should be fair. I play on PC but I want to go back to xbox I could order it now but i'm so disgusted with the BS SE have pulled over this one i doubt i'l pay another months subs.

[alphamone]

It has already shown that complaining for situation update doesn't work, (and they probably have to ask for permission to post any updates, lest they do something that might cause issues with deals that are being made, especially regarding whether or not something is going to be sold) so are you saying we should just constantly spam the thread asking about the 360 version?

I am asking an honest question here, do you have any suggestions other than constantly asking about it here (keeping in mind that spamming threads is probably against the ToS of the forums)? Asking places like amazon would be useless as they would not be permitted to give out information about distribution deals that haven't been finalized.

[Wystan]

Do nothing more than you feel obliged to......Just a shame most feel doing nothing for others is fine i have rated up anything i feel is a fair question in these forums in hope that the poster might get an answer.

It would be nice if this game actually had the community everyone used to talk about guess i'l keep my rose tinted glasses and hang up my gloves before i have nothing but memories of hate left of xi.

[Wystan]

Wow and still no answer.................FU YOU SQUARE ENIX ACCOUNT CANCELED

[XxCo0kyxX]

okay since you dont want/cant tell us where to the xbox version in eu (germany for me), can you atleast tell us if we get a digital download via xbox live or something like that?

[EU_Community_Team]

Hi,

Similarly to the previous Ultimate Collection Abyssea Edition, unfortunately there won’t be an Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition release for Xbox 360 (neither digital version nor boxed version).
The EU Xbox 360 Seekers of Adoulin is only available from the following online stores:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Final-Fantasy-Seekers-Adoulin-Xbox/dp/B00BLW4CUK
http://www.game.co.uk/en/final-fantasy-xi-seekers-of-adoulin-212084
(You won't be able to walk into your local GAME store and pick up a copy)

There will not be a digital version for Xbox 360 either.

Therefore we regret to inform you that players outside of the UK will have to import their copies of Seekers of Adoulin from one of the above sites. We know this isn't the answer that you have been waiting to hear but we have made sure that your concerns have been passed on to all of the teams.

[XxCo0kyxX]

Thank you! Finally we know what´s going on.
I orderd it from amazon.co.uk

I would be easier if I could buy it here in germany, but atleast I have my answer now, and dont need to wait/search for a germany seller anymore.

[vienne]

so... still one unanswered question, which i'm pretty sure a bit of people are waiting for, is SoA going to be available on steam and if so when (i can recall some dev saying it would be on steam but no sight of it on there so far)?

[RagingAvatar]

Wow. What a way to insult the EU fanbase.
No store release, no EU (only UK) release. No in-store releases. Not even a pre-order bonus.
Wow. I'm.. appalled.

EDIT: I just went to the FFXI EU site and saw this notice:

On 27 March, 2013, the FINAL FANTASY XI: Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition will go on sale and those who purchase this special edition will also receive the Chocobo Shirt in-game bonus item. Please note that registration of the Chocobo Shirt campaign code will not be available until Seekers of Adoulin becomes playable.

*The specific time when Seekers of Adoulin content will become playable will be announced at a later date.

Not an issue for us EU people!

[Dazusu]

If you're on Xbox in the EU and desperately want the Chocobo shirt, etc - there is a way to do it; albeit slightly more expensive.

Buy the Collectors Edition PC version (http://uk.gamesplanet.com/buy-download-pc-games/Final-Fantasy-XI-Ultimate:-Seekers-Ed.-3777-37.html) -> Apply Registration Code to Square Enix Account
Buy the regular SoA Expansion for Xbox -> Stick DVD in Xbox.

Hey presto, it cost you almost double, but you have your toys and now you can stop crying about it.

Yes it sucks. But this is SquareEnix, do you think they actually care about customer satisfaction? Beating a dead horse people, seriously. If you want to make an impact, talk with your wallet.

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

Similarly to the previous Ultimate Collection Abyssea Edition, unfortunately there won’t be an Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition release for Xbox 360

That's... not exactly clear from the official site (http://www.playonline.com/ff11eu/adoulin/index.html), with the apparently claiming both versions will be available on both platforms, just as it is with the US version of the site. Was the lack of an EU release of the Xbox 360 version of UCSE always the intent, or is this a new development?

If it was always going to be the case, you guys really need to work on your messaging.

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

/disgusted

Hey, at least they're pretending to support current EU Xbox players, if only in a lackluster way. You're getting more than NA PS2 players.

[Alhanelem]

so... still one unanswered question, which i'm pretty sure a bit of people are waiting for, is SoA going to be available on steam and if so when (i can recall some dev saying it would be on steam but no sight of it on there so far)?

The game doesn't need to be made available on steam for you to get it.

Steam does not modify the FFXI install at all aside from the alternate install location (The only possible modification is the pol.exe executable might have the steam encryption wrapper on it, but I'm not sure if it has that). Steam does not manage updates for the game- POL does it. Therefore, you should be able to just buy any PC copy of SoA and install it.

Your copy of FFXI is installed by default to C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\ffxi\ unless you created a steam library at a different location.

Not saying it shouldn't be made available for purchase on steam, as it should, but don't let it stop you from getting the expansion.

[Stuggie]

So to be clear in the UK you can order the stand alone expansion but not the full version? If this is the case well done SE you just made the pre-owned market for full install 360 discs sky rocket and killed off any new players who wish to play on 360. I have the 2008 version I was going to buy both versions so I had a spare to install from but guess thats not going to happen.

i know that but it is stopping me from getting the expansion, if its not on steam i'm not getting it. i have bad experience with having to make things run when its partially from steam and partially from some other online store.

[Horadrim]

i know that but it is stopping me from getting the expansion, if its not on steam i'm not getting it. i have bad experience with having to make things run when its partially from steam and partially from some other online store.

? Steam doesn't change the way the game installs, it just puts it in a different place. An install of a non-steam game is the same as the equivalent steam install say for a few variables shifted here and there.

Why not uninstall, download an installer for one of the collection editions (Abyssea, for example) and play using that? That's what I did for my last install. (My Wings of the Goddess was 360 version, my FFXI~ToAU was PC, and my Abyssea was all digital)

That way you can get the expansion and not have to be worried about it being from steam. That's not even piracy, considering you have to have purchased a code to play the game to get online with it.

[Alhanelem]

i know that but it is stopping me from getting the expansion, if its not on steam i'm not getting it. i have bad experience with having to make things run when its partially from steam and partially from some other online store.
You won't have a bad experience with this. I guarantee it will work. When you buy on steam you're essentially just buying the digital colllection and it installs it for you. It's not like most games on steam.

The only way you could have a "bad experience" is if you did it for a game that wasn't actually put on steam in this fashion.

[CuddlyBear]

OK couldn't get it to accept my card kept timing out so used Pay Pal worked first time

[Splinters]

Hi all,

First of all we would like to apologise for the lack of information on the upcoming expansion for EU players. We understand everyone’s frustrations and we do not take pleasure in making our loyal fans angry.

Some of you are concerned that the expansion will not be released in time. However, rest assured that we will still be releasing Seekers of Adoulin on the 27th March as scheduled.

The PC version will be digital download only so we won’t be running out of copies for sure.
With regards to pre-order information for the PC, we will provide you with concrete details on where you can get it next week.

Once again we are sorry for having to make you wait.

I think you need to go a little further with your apology. I have read several posts from players expressing a concern about how badly you have mucked your release of information to the EU player base. Further, you have deleted these posts, while passionate most were respectful and you have the balls to send an email threatening to drop the ban hammer on these folks. Now you have people that have supported your game for nearly a decade leaving due to this lack of respect on your side and I am angry about it. So what I expect is a very humble and sincere apology on your side and not this weak response you have given. Maybe if you are lucky you will get to keep some of these people that care enough about you game to try to make a difference.

[Alhanelem]

I think you need to go a little further with your apology.Way to kill the messenger. The community team doesn't control that stuff. All they can do is explain what happened and say they're sorry, and tell the people responsible that customers are upset.

I don't think the community team itself could possibly be more humble and sincere. They have always been good about posting these messages in a respectful manner.

The main thing hits illustrates is a serious communication issue between SE divisions and departments. I dont doubt for a second that they mean their apology with the utmost sincerity- Though obviously there are some critical internal issues (issues that are very common in such large organizations) that need to be addressed.

[Winrie]

So i just purchased the SoA digital download and to my displeasure the code wont even work on my account which is an EU account. So total waste of 30 bucks, last 30 dollars SE makes off me.

[Fulgore]

Iff you would have read true more topics including the one on ffxiah.com , you would have know that US version needs US codes , EU version needs the EU code string.

[Fulgore]

And yes the EU version installment goes online tommorow not today, today is US instal onry.

[Bardon]

Unfortunately this has been handled in typical SE fashion. SoA was a great opportunity to breathe new life into FFXI but instead SE have mucked it up.

Instead of encouraging old players back to the game, or God forbid actually attracting new players, the handling of this situation is making previously content customers consider quitting a game they've played for up to a decade.

The community team seem like nice people and it's unfortunate that they are in the front line of all the abuse. However as the community team they are our only link to the developers and those who run FFXI. Therefore when you get a very unhappy community then the angry posts from disgruntled customers, aimed at SE as a whole, will be addressed to the only people that customers can address directly, namely the community support team.

To those who say that we should not expect as good a service as those who pay a higher one-off price for a game, I say we pay a monthly fee on top of our one-off payment. We've also had to pay over the odds for re skinned DLC expansions for a number of years now. For many FFXI fans SoA was the last chance they were going to give SE to get things right. So a little more attention, akin to a game launch, wouldn't have gone astray.

The fact that SE have managed to turn so many new/returning and even existing players off SoA before the expansion is even live speaks volumes. No matter how good content from SoA is the damage has already been done and SE either not seeing this or not caring enough is part of the reason why they've managed to alienate their playerbase like no other MMO over the years.

When SE announced the first genuine expansion since ToAU the community got excited and felt some of their fate in SE was restored. But SE managed not only to erode that feel good factor they made players even less positive about them and FFXI.

The community team do a good job given the fact that they are clearly understaffed, underfunded, kept out of the loop on many things and have their hands tied with regard to posting information they do get from the Devs. Se need to seriously think about how they handle their community relations as this is the same team who'll be there for FFXIV also. The community team need more support and a lot more communication, both in terms of the information they receive from the Devs & other SE departments and what they are allowed to post of the forums.

Maybe they are focusing on FFXIV but by not listening to feedback through every phase of testing they ended up messing that up 1st time round. Now the vast majority of those willing to give them a second chance are existing or previous SE MMO customers. The vast majority of those have either played or currently play FFXI. So by disrespecting the FFXI community they are also disrespecting a large chunk of the FFXIV community. Even those who don't play FFXI, more often than not, have friends who still do. So this issue affects more than just FFXI.

FFXIV could be the absolute best MMO on the market when ARR relaunches but it probably won't matter. SEs handling of their community will ensure that it's considered just another run of the mill MMO that's hardly ever mentioned outside of the official and community forums. As much as SE are the ultimate in MMO RPG storytelling their ineptitude in dealing with their customers negates this to the point where in the overall MMO market both FFXI and FFXIV are an irrelevance.

From a personal stand point I've played FFXI since shortly after EU launch. I've never quit the game and I probably never will. I'll be one of that last band of players who's account is still active when they turn the servers off a few years from now. My disappointment stems not necessarily from my personal experience with SE, but from the fact the their handling of the community has meant losing more friends than I can count due to them quitting either as a result of one of SE's many stuff ups or the cumulative effect of many years of dealing with SE's unique brand of customer service.

[bearfoot]

2 strange things happend with that links camate posted :
on my purchase after i bought it and got emails the option to pay with cred card vanished.
on a friends case he got charged on caRD and didnt get confirm emails and order nrs so his money is gone and cant do anything but wait till 4th april to get his money reorderet by bank .
way to go with shady companys

Was the lack of an EU release of the Xbox 360 version of UCSE always the intent, or is this a new development?

If it was always going to be the case, you guys really need to work on your messaging.
The reason clearly is that there are way more Xbox360 in America than in the EU, and way more FFXI X360 users there than here in europe.
It was probably economically counterproductive for them to achieve a big distribution for both version of the game for X360 in Europe and decided to do the minimum, which is still better than nothing.

Of course they can't say this because it would sound bad, so they have to keep the facade.
Kinda normal hipocrisy of everyday public relationships.
I hate it, but it's how our western culture has been working for quite some time now, as much as I despise this it's not like SE is doing anything particularly different than the majority of other companies in this regard.

But it's true that, on a more general scale, their EU support is not the same as their NA and especially JP ones.
They might have their very very good economic reasons behind it, but it still looks very bad making EU users being treated like they count less.
Maybe they really do count less, maybe not, but a good company would be able to have a better organization of their teamwork, a better distribution of information among their employees, and better strategies to avoid making users from different regions feel treated so differently.

[Kjara]

Wow and still no answer.................FU YOU SQUARE ENIX ACCOUNT CANCELED

Account canceled? According to FFXIAH you are still pretty active. Stop being a drama queen and just keep waiting like everybody else.

[NDSI]

character does not go inactive till the next billin cycle.

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

The reason clearly is

The reason is clearly something I didn't ask about in my post. All that matters here is that S-E cut and pasted the table from the NA site to the EU site, a table that points to both the PC and Xbox 360 getting both the expansion pack and Ultimate Collection.

NA players aren't getting anything for PS2, but they were never told they were getting anything for PS2. Meanwhile, all published material until this one community rep post at least strongly implied that UCSE for Xbox 360 would be available in Europe as well as North America and Japan.

So if this isn't a new decision, why didn't they say so?

[Wystan]

Account canceled? According to FFXIAH you are still pretty active. Stop being a drama queen and just keep waiting like everybody else.

Lol get some knowledge and know this I play this game with friends I will continue to do so until my months sub is up stop trolling because your opinion on me is of 0 impotence and serves to do nothing more than derail this thread.

[Stuggie]

If EU is not getting a full version could we get a re-release of the 2008 edition?? These full install discs are rare/ex now for 360.

[Zhronne]

If EU is not getting a full version could we get a re-release of the 2008 edition?? These full install discs are rare/ex now for 360.
WotG Expansion disc for X360 was actually a full install. I have reason to believe that the 2 Xbox360 discs are exactely identical if not for the print on them and the codes included within the box.

[Stuggie]

I have that disc, the box says FFXI required to install? The reason I want a new copy is all down to discs wearing out or scratched, I have the 2007 version that is beyond readable WOTG expansion and the 2008 version which has upto WOTG on it, as the discs are so rare now I think SE could at least give a re-run of the latest version for a full 360 install. I would think many are thinking the same thing, it's ok to have a stand alone expansion but these disc have been hard to get for a long time now, almost feels like SE is saying yes we will support 360 but you are not getting new discs???

[Bluban]

Gamestop in the US takes pre-orders for all versions


I've also been trying to find this. I'm pretty sure the PC version will be up for download on the day of release, but I play primarily on Xbox and I can't find an Xbox physical copy for pre-order anywhere. As it gets closer to release, I'm starting to worry that my friends (mostly American) will be doing all of the new content without me :(

FFXI: Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition Coming Soon to Steam (26/03/2013)

As we approach the release of FFXI: Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition, we wanted to provide an update to our customers in regards to product availability on Steam. We are working at full speed to ensure that we get FFXI: UCSE available on the Steam store as soon as possible for those of you that prefer to purchase games from Steam. However, knowing that there is a possibility that the Steam version will not be available for purchase on launch, we wanted to alert you as soon as we could.

We apologize for this inconvenience and will be sure to provide you with an update on the progress of the release of FFXI: UCSE on Steam very soon!

[Stuggie]

A NA version of the game is of no use to us in the EU/UK all we get for xbox is the stand alone expansion NOT a full version. My point is if you want to replace a disc that is almost 5 years old or you are a looking at this game as a new player you will not be doing any of this on a 360 by the look of it.

Hi,

[woie]

[Bloodscript]

can i ask where is the xbox 360 version of Seekers ultimate because i have been looking for it for a couple days now and i just cannot seem to find it even on the EU square enix website but yet the PC version is on there

Reading back on 1 of the previous post's i noticed that it says there will not be an ultimate edition for xbox 360 well that is a very stupid mistake by SE as obviously they want to make money but there is probly alot more xbox 360 players out there than you expect i am also looking for a copy so i can start dual boxing

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

can i ask where is the xbox 360 version of Seekers ultimate

UCSE on Xbox is JP/NA only.

If anyone is looking for the xbox 360 ver of Soa these shops are out of stock..... i contacted them to see if they where getting any more in stock and they told me they where unsure does a rep have any info on this? the Eu release of Soa has been a total mess..... i dont know why in this day and age we cant just download it off xbl....

When getting a game on PC you simply have to find someone who will host the file from you, such as Amazon, Steam, or something like that. Xbox is not the same, to get a game on Xbox Live, or rather Games on Demand it is harder because the only company you can ask is Microsoft, so if they say no, then you are screwed.
