If I'm told correctly, all codes (NA/EU etc) are valid until December 31, 2016.
and is also stated in the AU/NZ promotion & the lodestone.

At the end of 2016. Both the promo code and the item codes you get from the redeem page. This means the rest of the listed countries will get their promotion very soon.

I suppose it's a good thing you can at least allow the individual item codes to be used by other people. A maid or butler outfit would make a nice Christmas present to someone in the case that you yourself don't need both outfits.

Thanks for answering. I guess the only thing I can do is wait for them release the promotion for my country.

Well that means that they should have already planned all the other promotions, or it would get a little to late..The skeptic in me says that maybe they don't have the other ones right now and that maybe the last ones will have barely any time left till December..but I hope that this is wrong..

Thanks to a friend, I finally got my codes from GameStop. Now to finish work and play dress up! :D

Finally got my codes! I had to get a friend from Ireland to get me a code from in-store, theres a bit of miscommunication with what can be purchased (any SE game regardless of price, but no preorders), but the code worked for me in the UK.

As a person from Finland... Can't we just get this stuff on the Mog Station as optional items? GameStop barely exists here and that's how you decide to distribute the codes... The closest one I have is in another city about an hour away by train...

I hope they end up putting then on the Mog Station :/

Very unlikely. Promotional items with codes are one of the items that have not been made available on the Mog Station, for example the Wind-up Dalamud or Moogle Attire.

Question: if I were to order only the Game Master issue 308, do I still get the code for that issue? On the website it's a bit unclear.
I am only interested in the maid/butler outfits, and idk how/when the promo will be in Italy so I was thinking of ordering that issue just in case. :(

The difference is that you were able to buy the B-Ray disc from Square-enix store from anywhere in the world easy, same as the mog attire by attending a fan-fest or getting a stream pass.

Here you have to get lucky and get a campaign near you. I'm from Spain and we didn't get anything yet, and it's near impossible to complete any campaign here since none can be done online, and needs you to be physycally there. The nearest one for us would be going to a specific Bar in france in order to get the chocobo.

That's why they should re-think about putting it into the Mog Station after all the campaigns are done.

It would be very unfair to those of us that had to dance/pay through the nose for the campaigns (still dancing my way though the UK one.) But I would still rather see everyone who wasn't able to get even a chance to be able to get them, so even though it would be unfair to myself as well, I'd welcome them on the mog station for others.

Unlikely. These companies are paying SE to promote them, not to promote SE's own store. It's unlikely that the agreements in place would allow SE to bypass them and offer the same items directly.

But, well, here's to hoping that there's a time limit on the exclusivity these companies have been promised. Maybe it would eventually expire and then SE would be able to put these in the Mog Station. (I wouldn't expect it any time soon, though.)

inb4 the last countries get a campaign with Square Enix itself - the Mogstation /cheer

(honestly though, they sure are taking their sweet time with the "rest"...

In five and a half hours I will be trying to track down the last part, I'm actually a little nervous.

They ended up putting the 'exclusive' rewards from the Lightning event onto the Mogstation and they've been adding new items to sell there at a much more frequent rate over the last year or so. I'm hoping that means that they will indeed put the promotion items on sale at a later date - but if there's legal loopholes that prevent such a thing occurring then they need to be open and honest about that right now.

Difference being Lightning was an in-game event, so are many of the other items now available on the Mogstation. I don't think there are any items from past out-of-game promos in there. Even so, I do hope it is added for those countries that have got the short end of the stick.

No promotional item, to my knowledge, has ever been made available to buy via Mogstation. In game event items have, but real world promotional items haven't.

Think that if they put those items on the MogStation after the campaigns a lot of people would be upset.
A lot of people would have just wait SE to put them into the CashShop and not even partcipate any campagins that require a photo of you or to purchase a 50euros game in a gamestop.

You won't see them in the MogStation and if we do, then SE gonna be shot out a lot for this.

308 is up to buy online for ppl that want it

Got my 3rd issue today. Sent off my email for the White Fat Chocobo. Fingers crossed.

Just got mine this morning at my local Morrisons, hope it helps for people searching for it.

Got my third magazine. Had to return it and swap it for another because the code was missing lol. Now Mog Station seems to be broken -- can't log in right now :/

edit: oh, just wasn't working in Edge browser, but is fine in Chrome.

I still haven't heard back from the magazine company regarding the simple fact that the first issue I ordered online ended up being delivered without a code. I didn't bother buying the other issues as a result - but that leaves me screwed over since I can't participate in any of the other promotions despite other European players being allowed to participate in the UK promotion.

Got my third and final Magazine time to redeem my codes and get my white chocobo i found my copy in WHsmith in Cambridge was a few copy there

Mission successful. Got mine in Sainsbury's.

Anyone Know how long after sending the email off for the White Fat Chocobo mount we get a code? anyone got there mount code yet

Sent my email 2 hours ago, no reply yet. Hopefully they have somebody designated to check their inbox at least once a day.

I got my copy yesterday due to having a gamesmaster subscription, been waiting about 26hrs on email so far.

Found this on Facebook.

Be aware that it will be a few more days before we're able to get codes out to everyone, so don't worry if you don't receive yours instantly. We've got your emails, we're on the case, and we can't wait to see you all riding your new mounts in-game!

guessing there going to have to open and check all the emails just check if people have a pic of all code sheets that going to a fun job to do

Am I just blind or did the sentence vanish that said they plan on promotions in other countries too? (/panic)

I can still see the following text: "Note: Separate campaigns are planned for players residing in the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Spain. We will announce further information as soon as details are finalised." Which still leaves most of the world out in the cold D:

Another campaign was posted for anyone who is interested.


edit: it has some of the items but its quite.. uh.. different?

Has anyone else seen the post on Lodestone about getting the items in the UK via O2 Priority? I'm now with 3UK so can't check it out but it doesn't even mention needing to purchase anything! WTF? 0.o

This does seem to be getting past nonsensical to me, so people who happen to be with a certain phone provider can get some in game gear. All this really does make me wish I was less invested in the game so I could stop giving SE money.

You have to sign up and create a game account and then get the chance of winning a FFXIV styled PS4 with a free 30 day pass to the game.

Not really gonna complain about a campaign that is trying to pull in new blood.

**Should of worded it better. What I meant was it is hard to argue with a promotion that gets new players in. Is it fair to the current player base, no it is another kick in the teeth. They should of gave away different items for them.

still impossible for me *shrugs* iv hit the point of giving up tbh

So that's all the items from issues 306, 307 and the temporary wings from 308. :S So for Fat Chocobo we still would have needed all 3 and Butler maid, still need current issue, but I can't help feel a little... :S

But you still get free items for doing that though, correct? Items that previously were paid for by those who had to buy a magazine. Or for you only get the items if you win the PS4?
