I think I screwed myself

@ HiirNoivl,

You seem to know what is going on with account information for early access and launch. Have you seen any information that confirms that you do not need to register a payment method before early access?

Will all players be required to sign up for a payment method on the 27th?

So basically, my account will get the ARR CE items twice (even though you can only get them once,) because I already had the CE and I connected the PS3 CE Code to it.
My wife, who bought the PC CE, will not get the 4 CE items even though she bought the CE version, because she has the 1.0 regular.

Did you apply just the preorder code? If so, don't worry about messing up! I thought we couldn't apply the actual game activation codes yet.

You should apply the ARR PS3 CE code to your wife's account (thus, upgrading your wife's SE to CE). However, this means no PS3 service for you. Not sure what you want to do with the extra PC CE though, since you can't apply that to either of your existing service accounts.

Remember preorder codes and game codes are totally separate from one another! The preorder code just adds early access and preorder items to a service w/o saying it's CE or SE, while the game activation code (generally that code in the box you get) gives you a new service on your SE account, whether it's a PC or PS3 service and marks it as SE or CE.

Will people who have the 1.0 Collector's Edition be able to apply the pre-order bonus in-game items and early access rights to their old accounts if they pre-order the standard PC version of the game?
When registering the pre-order bonus code you will be able to select which FFXIV service account the bonus is applied to.

this is from a post by a dev among the questions answered about codes, from it I get that if you have V1 account and buy a V2 PC game, the preorder code items and access can be attached to your V1 account, but the 30 sub time and the CE items are attached to the game registration and cant be attached to a already existing V1 account.
