IE; There is a bonus content code section in the SE account management system where we put in the onion helmet code, can I just steal my wife's codes and use them on my account?

Just looking for some info and clarification on this is all, not saying I'm entitled to anything but this re-release thing raises a few questions. I will be content with whatever they decide cause I will probably be buying another CE anyway, between my wife and eldest son. Until then, I have a wild imagination!

1) I don't know what you mean CE offer's no in game bonuses..
-If you have bought FFXIV 1.0 (CE or otherwise) you get a copy of ARR.
-If you are legacy you get a mount
-If you are legacy you get subscription discount for as long as ARR lives
5) Your account as is will be converted to a 2.0 account, meaning any new codes that become available over time will be applied to your current 1.0 account which will be upgraded to a 2.0

Onion Helm. In game bonus for all chr. created on your account. Accessible by entering a code that only came with the 1.0 CE and entered on the SE account management page.

Vanity pets, pet snurbble or mini bahamat or something that follows you around.

Odds of vanity pets in ARR, same as finding a bug/ice Pokemon

I'd love to find out about 2.0 CE. I'm actually holding out on pre-ordering the PS3 game so far to find out if there will be a CE!

Your talking about "upgrading our accounts to CE" when all FFXIV service accounts are the same (well except legacy) there are no CE and standard accounts, all there is, is an extra code on our service accounts for the Onion helm (as far as the accounts go) if they wanted to add any CE in game items to our accounts, all they would do is email us a code, punch that in SE account management and we have the items (if they decide to improve it to allow already created characters to get the items) there is no upgrading needed.

A rep said that those who have CE (1.0) can pay a discounted price for the ARR (2.0) CE.

I wanted to know if there was a similar feature for non CE (1.0) players. I get that the discount might not be as "discounty" but it would beat buying a 90$ game for a few digital items.

Either I read it horribly wrong and its "anyone with an account" can get the discount or they have some way of telling.

Edit:
I'm trying to find the rep quote now.

You got a link? I haven't seen it, and I at least check the dev tracker multiple times a day.

We are currenting making adjustments.

Another question I get from reading this is - if we go the upgrade route does that mean it will be impossible to obtain the physical ARR CE contents?

I know I am getting 2.0 ARR CE if they are releasing it that is.

I bought the CE version when I came out and I agree with you. I think each should stand alone from one another.
