PSA: Stormblood Pre Order through PSN store

So just to update everyone on this situation. I contacted Sony support again

Gloria: I can see that Stormblood Collector's Edition was pre ordered. No worries, in this case, you will be able to download the content, the steps to register are: Open FINAL FANTASY XIV and follow the instructions on the screen. You will see "FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood - Pre-Order PlayStation 4." Select "Next." You will see the service account onto which you can register the pre-order code. Select "Next" to complete the registration process.
Me: do you know when the registration can take place?
Gloria: Yes, I definitely understand your concern. We have reported the issue and our specialists are working on that. It is scheduled on Friday, June 16, 2017 at around 2:00 a.m. (PDT) (There will be maintenance before early access starts. Due to the maintenance, the early access schedule is subject to change)

So it seems we will have to wait until the day of early access to register for SB

I checked again today and still shows the price no count down. So decided to check if at least i got the theme... nope it has the icon for the theme (in the theme section) but has the countdown.
So what a load, Pre-order to receive theme is not accurate now is it?

Also, i thought early access was suppose to be on the 15th, no? I will need to correct the post on our FC website i guess, lol

Not gonna lie it's a bit worrisome.

So wait, we won't be able to download SB till the servers are back up then? I got terrible download speeds so it'll be like noon till I'll be able to actually play. We need SE to respond or talk about this >.< .

same here no timer just a price better download when suppose to or sony gonna get hell all I know

the representative told me that yes it should begin the downloading process after the maintenance on the 15th

TYVM in that case :D
I will sooo give them hell if it does not, haha

SOO the auto download kicked in and only downloaded the theme and gave me accsess to the avatar.... WHILE the dlc is not downloaded nor with a timer NOR anywhere to be found. did i just get dupped? becuse with HW there was a DLC download, then there was the patch to use the download.

Are we sure it isn't just telling the launcher it can patch in the whole game that way verses PSN?

I bought it last night, and only saw the timer on the theme goodies, too, but using SE's instructions, it does say on my PSN account settings that Stormblood and it's early access is on my account.

Do we really have to wait till AFTER maintenance ends? It'll take HOURS to download and I actually wanted to jump into Sb with my friends :/
