They are talking about the community team, not the devs, the community team is very small by compare, we have just about 5 reps who pop up on these forums from time to time and we share those very same people with the FFXIV forums from what I understand. 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.

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!

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

Corrected post meant SOA not ARR

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?! :(

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

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.

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

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".

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.

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?

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

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?

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.

Boxed products are JP only.

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.

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?

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Come on...

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.

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..

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)

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.

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

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.

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.
