FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Purchase Questions

I'm hoping they do something about this, I don't have a ps3, I want the CE items and the pre order items. I don't really know what to do, I know I'll go the digital upgrade route, but I would like the pre order bonuses too without paying out the nose for them.

Durp. Meant the CE items. Not pre-order items.

Awesome, looks like my initial impressions were spot-on then. Thanks, JillyBean!

PlayStation 3 (Package*) $79.99
Windows (Package) $69.99

If you want the physical items that come with the Collectors edition, buy the ps3 version I wouldn't say 10 dollars more is paying out the nose for it. You still get everything the pc version offers but you also get the ps3 version of the game and that grants the ability to play on the ps3. If you don't own a ps3 you still got everything just paid a bit more.

Um you'll need a PS3 to register the PS3 item codes iirc ; ;

I could be totally wrong, feel free to correct/clarify

Edit: Herp-de-derp I read Hvinire's post incorrectly!

We can register the PS3 version to an existing windows account but it's unclear if we can do this via PC ; ;

I have never dealt with SquareEnix with ps3 other than just putting a disk and playing, but I would imaging setting up the account would be the same as the pc edition. Tho I could be completely wrong... I never thought of it doing all the registration in the ps3.

I don't want the physical CE stuff, I pre-ordered the CE digital download for 49.99, this I thought would net me all the CE items and the pre order bonus stuff. Now we find out that the CE stuff won't be added to our accounts like we thought. The money smart way to do this is to cancel my pre order, buy the standard version for 29.99 so I can get the pre order stuff and then do the digital upgrade when that becomes available. It doesn't seem like that much of a savings but it's crazy to me that SE would do this and actually cheat themselves out of money and make themselves look foolish in the eyes of their fan base at the same time. Fix this issue please SE.

With how convoluted they've made purchasing the CE etc, it wouldn't surprise me if they made it this way ><. I'm dreading when people get their games and are like "But I have no PS3, I wasted $80?" ><

So what because i wanted the art book and sound track from the CE and seeing as i have another account that's the standard edition i was under the impression i could just have registered the In game item codes onto that account, but by the looks of it i can't? are the code for the game and items the same code or something this is sounds annoying though the In game items would be treated the same as the onion helm in 1.0 with it's own code and i'll would be free to registered that to any account sigh....

When will the "FFXIV Service Center" open?

It is my understanding that we cannot upgrade our standard account to a CE account digitally until this is launched. I hope that this service launches soon so I can pre-order my CE digital upgrade to get my in-game bonuses.

Wouldn't it be easier to just send out promo codes to the legacy members for the discounted CE edition? Each code could be randomized but linked to that members account. That should prevent non-legacy members acquiring that promo code.
