FFXI Soundtrack on backorder

[Dragoy]

My Japanese soundtrack just arrived (I ordered from Play-Asia) and my code for the Spinet registered just fine on my EU account - thought I'd post just to let others know.

Thanks for mentioning that. I shall take upon the adventure and see if I can get one from there as well. The shipping costs can almost double the price, but oh well, I think I will take the risk and choose the cheapest way there is, if I am able to give them my money that is. It wont work with me "main-bank", so will need some days to work it out!

Wow, paid on 29th I think, and noticed the day after that it was shipped later that day, even though being not in stock and "Usually ships within 2 to 4 weeks". Did not expect that, haha.

Shall see if it ever gets here, though, and in what shape!
Seems way too good to be.

So I got my CD in the mail today, but I'm having trouble entering the code for the Spinet. From what I read the code is supposed to be 20 characters yet mine is only 16. The website has spaces for 20 characters, and it won't accept my 16 digit code. Anyone have the same problem or am I missing something painfully obvious?

Proof Really pleased that the code worked - and shame on you Square Enix for forgetting about your European fans. I have to say that I'm really disappointed in our treatment in regard to this CD - I expected more.

Can someone tell us what the hell is going on with this? Seems like there's been nothing but unprofessionalism from se lately.

Are we going to get an actual answer. Has anyone who ordered from SE actually received a copy or even a notification on when or if they would send it. Is it only people who ordered from other retailers that received a copy and why?

I ordered the CD from Square Enix Boutique and had it send to a sister of mine in Belgium. It arrived last week, and the spinet is now happily playing things like Ragnarok and Ronfaure (although it seems to prefer Selbina for some reason.)

Shame it doesn't play a duet with the harpsichord ;D

You also get a bonus CD called PlayOnline PLUS, but I only recognised a few of the tracks.

I just got a confirmation email an hour ago about my order of Soundtrack PLUS being shipped. However, without confirmation from SE reps as to whether or not the delayed shipment (originally the 15th of November) is still the initial pressing with the Spinet, is up for debate.

Have no fear. All copies of the soundtrack that are being sent out include the Spinet in-game bonus item. Things were slightly delayed due to the holidays, as I'm sure you can imagine. Hope you all enjoy your soundtrack!

Thanks for the reassurance, Bayohne!

I thought the point of having a pre-order was to avoid delays during the holiday...
