FFXI Soundtrack on backorder

[Rumi]

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

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!

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...

Personally, I'm ever more confused by the fact people who ordered off retailers got it before people who ordered directly from SquareEnix.

Didn't want to include the seller I bought it from because I suspected there must've been some rule against solicitation when posting on these forums, but since somebody else mentioned Play-Asia, I ordered my copy from YesAsia.

I don't know about you guys, but I also got a notification saying it was shipped. (Tracking info doesn't lead anywhere yet. Probably still too early to track.)
