Questions regarding Stormblood Pre-orders or Collector's Edition

Okay cool. After having checked back in my emails, I did find one email to confirm the order and register on a special SE site for Stormblood. Then another email I got in February with the early access code to register through PSN. But the Mog Station never updated and it worried me a bit. So what happens during early access if I don't have my physical copy to register? Do I still get access but get booted on the 20th till it's registered?

This part I don't have an answer for. It really seems about time for SE to jump in and provide that answer themselves, since a few players have had questions/concerns about it.

With just the pre-order code but without the final game registration code, you'd get access during the early access period, but will have to register the game code soon after the official release or else lose that access. (It probably won't happen right away on the 20th, though. They've previously had a short grace period to give everyone a chance to receive and register their copies of game. So effectively, the early access code covers from a few days before the 20th through a few days after the 20th. I'm just not sure exactly how long that grace period is.)

Somewhere it stated that you'll have one week (maybe it was the last live letter?), after the official launch of Stormblood to register your key. This won't effect early access, since you're able to log into the game and play it, including the expansion with the pre order code you've registered. That means, if you logged out in old ARR and HW area's, depending on the expansions you've have currently registered and been playing, you will have no issues to log back into the game, but won't be able to access the SB area's/map till you've have successfully registered the product key that comes with your physical copy.
If you logged out in an SB area, after the expiration of this given time frame, you won't be able to log into the game at all, on that character that's in the SB area, till you registered the key. Hope it helps.

I'm sorry if this has already been answered I just want to know for sure that I didn't mess something up. I bought the digital CE for ps4 and its in my items where I can see the countdown for when I can download EA. However I also pre ordered the physical version of the CE on ps4 for my GF. All the codes went in and everything but its not showing stormblood in her items. So she has no countdown date on when she can actually download EA. Is this normal? I'm just worried because I don't want to play without her on early access.

This next question doesn't really affect me, but I'm asking because a friend is interested.
I know Complete Collection buyers won't get EA to SB content, but they can still play through ARR and HW just normally, right? They'd have to either get one of those potions or just level SUPER FAST to come to the roadblock of SB content, correct?

Just wanting to know if my friend would still be able to play ARR+HW normally during SB EA.

The Complete Collection isn't going to be released until Stormblood is, so your friend cannot get anything from it until the 20th.

Would have gotten the collectors (again) ... but after all the weird changes and updates right after the pre-order launch, changes which impoverished the game-play experience here, we’ll just go with basic first, as we do still want to play, but we are angry. And to paint the whole picture; other people will do the exact opposite because that’s how SE seems to ‘manage’ their game in the middle of the re-launch. Appalling.

I followed the directions. I put the 20 digit code into Mog Station and hit enter, but the code was invalid. I rechecked and I still don't have the Early Access under Platform in my Service Account. Is this bugged? I mean I just pre-ordered yesterday.

We now know what these changes are but they already said that changes to the battle system were coming in SB a while ago.

If I pre-Order FFXIV Complete for MacOS Digital Download, will I be able to play ARR and HW immediately, or will the entire game be unplayable or downloadable until 6/20? I already have an existing ARR and HW subscription.

The complete edition comes out the 20th and is a bundle so would have to wait.

The money has been taken from my account. When is the delivery day? ( Collector's Edition )

Hey, gang!

I'm sure you've seen it (hopefully!) but we've posted all the details regarding early access on the Lodestone today. This should answer any and all questions you may have (several that continue to pop up)! Give it a read over, and if there's something you can't find, please let us know here and we'll do our best to help. :)

Is there a way I can purchase ARR and HW now for mac while waiting, and Buy Stormblood separately? Been waiting on a Mac client for a while now, because my PC is a piece of crap. :p

I have a question about this passage:
End of Early Access

Early access will end on Friday, June 23, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. in the time zone for the registered account’s region (NA: PDT, EU: GMT, JP: JST). Please register the full FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood registration code or promotion code before this time to continue playing after the Early Access period.
* Users who pre-ordered the PlayStation®4 PSN download version will already be fully registered from the time they pre-ordered the game, so they will not need to register a separate promotion code.

Umm, I registered my Early Access code and confirmed it on the Mog Station. My question is, when do I get the code to play after Early Access ends? I registered the PC version and ordered from Amazon.

If it is a physical order, the code will be included in the physical product, if it was downloaded, the licence will automatically be connected to your account I would imagine.

Edit: But now I have a question of my own. I've entered my code into the proper website, in which I entered the next code into the Playstation Store. My mogstation account now has Stormblood Early Access under 'Version', but does not have a circle under any console (in which case would be PS4). Is this normal? Did I do everything right?

Good evening. On lodestone post regarding the early acess says that we can confirm we have early acess on service list on ps4. Me and a lot of ps4 users say that we don't have nothing about early acess. We have this: Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood Pre Order and Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood Tracker. Is that normal?
We still will get the early acess?

Amazon will deliver your registration code to you when the game launches on Tuesday, similar to how users who purchase the physical version would get their full registration code included in their package.

Bei mir ist ein solcher Eintrag nicht vorhanden. Dauert es gegebenfalls noch bis der Eintrag hinzugefügt ist oder ist bei mir ein Fehler aufgetreten?

short translation: I preordered Stormblood throu the PSN Store. But the stormblood Early acces is not listed in my PSN Account service lists. Is there a problem?

PSN store is fully automated, if the payment went through you are good, no problem! :)

I entered the pre-order code for PS4 version for early access, but Mog Station is not saying I have Early Access on my account page...

Also ordered through PSN

How to Confirm Pre-order Bonuses (PlayStation®4):
Visit the “Settings” menu of the PS4, then select “PlayStation Network/Account Management,” then “Account Information.” Scroll down and select “Services List,” and find “FINAL FANTASY® XIV: A Realm Reborn™.” Selecting it will show an entry labeled “FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Early Access.” This will also grant you the in-game bonus items at release.

But I only have
FINAL FANTASY XIV: ARR and Heavensward Playing Entitlement
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Collector's Edition Pre-Order
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Pre-Order
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Collector's Edition Tracker
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Tracker

Is it safe to assume the lodestone post said the wrong thing should be listed?

This....actually answered MY question. LOL Mine shows the following :

FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn (TM) Standard Edition Pack
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Early Access
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward (TM) Playing Entitlement
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Early Access Tracker

I hope this is a good sign.

Is the collectors edition coming to Amazon for PC?

I see they have added it for PS4:
https://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy...ectors+edition

But I've been waiting to see if they would add it for PC.

I'm sitting on a $100 Amazon gift card... O.o

Should I just buy the regular version, and then upgrade it to collectors on the SE website? Does anyone remember how long after Heavensward, if at all, it took for upgrades to collectors to be available? My account shows I upgraded to collectors 1 month after buying Heavensward but I don't remember if that was because I had to wait or I chose to wait...

Question, i am currently only own the ARR so should i buy the collector edition to have both HW and SB, if it works that way or should i buy them separately? and if i get the collector edition, would i be able to play HW even before SB being released?

Thank you

SB comes with HW now. And no you wont be able to play HW part until SB releases if you order the CE

Good day Ishgardians. I ordered Stormblood digital collector edition PC from SE store and already applied early access code. When i check my account, it shows Stormblood Early Access as "O" at Windows column, shouldn't be "O" in the collector's edition column instead?

No, because you only registered the early access code for now. You will get your CE code when the game launches.

I'm wondering the same thing. It's unusual how Amazon isn't carrying the CE for Stormblood. Even if they didn't carry the physical copy, the fact that they aren't supplying codes for the digital copy is kind of alarming this close to release. I remember for Heavensward you could get the digital CE from Amazon like 3 months before early access started. I wonder if Squeenix had issues working it out with Amazon this time around. I hope my giftcard isn't useless as well.

Having pre ordered the CE from the SE site, my card got charged on Tuesday last week. I haven't received a invoice regarding as to WHEN the item is gonna be shipped.

(I find it odd that the money was taken out 3 weeks before the release of the game when usually pre ordered items get charged the day the item was despatched from the warehouse and not weeks before.)

I pre-ordered the digital version off Amazon (I figured I would to kill two birds with one stone for the promotion, and I'd just upgrade to CE later). Anyways, I was wondering how pre-ordering off Amazon would work with Early Access?? It says "available June 20th"... how do I get into Early Access, will they just... send me the game download early since I pre-ordered? It's confusing.

They should email you a pre-order code ahead of time that will get you early access, and then send you the full registration code on the 20th.

Will I be able to pay for my subscription on the 16th to play during early access?

You should likely be able to. I cannot imagine why you couldn't. Unless you are shy the funds themselves.

My friends said I should pay my sub on the 14th due to the early access details > Must possess an active FINAL FANTASY XIV service account on your Square Enix Account with subscription time remaining.
