How do I see my Collector's edition status?

Do you bought the PC CE or the PS3 CE?
If you have an 1.0 account then you can't register the PC ARR CE on it, because you can't register 2 PC version to the same service account and the CE items are included in the game code. You would need the PS3 CE

I posted this earlier: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...hase-Questions

It was in the old General Discussion forum. It was stickied and made three months ago. Hard to miss :/

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.

Solved. We're covered. No more worrying.

It was a sticky in the general forum and I believed mentioned a few other times in other places.

I bought the CE edition before I ever went to the forums, and the page advertising it certainly didn't make it clear!

A few obscure references on forums players may or may not even be reading isn't a substitute for clearly marking your order page, and I think it's pretty darn understandable that not everyone obsessively reads everything written.

1.0 non-legacy member:
no early access
no pre-order items
has to buy PS3 version for pre-order and early access.
there is a digital upgrade for non-CE but it is not yet available and is not a pre-order.

Not sure how it's going to work, but I bought a CE edition and registered my pre-order code; got early access code input successfully, and see the Early Access rewards listed; just not the CE rewards.

That's because the pre-order code is separate from the collector's edition registration code. If you want to attach your collector's edition bonus onto your account, you either buy the digital upgrade or I hope you purchased the PS3 CE.

You register the preorder code to your PSN account, then link the PSN account to your SE account and the service account you want to play (if you have more than 1 on the SE account). Then the PSN account register automatic early access and the preorder items to your choosed service account, even if it is an 1.0 account

Therefore, 1.0 non-legacy members have no access to early access.

If you have the preorder code, even an non-legacy 1.0 account can get early access.
In some gameshops in germany (like Saturn) they sold stand-alone preorder codes for 5€.

I've read that page. and this one http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...96bf81c212957d

from my understanding it was said that if you had a 1.0 account, you could not apply PC version codes (activation codes) to it. Now the pre-order code is probably different and can be applied but the physical game codes will not work if they are PC.

Just tracked down a copy of a physical PS3 CE, and I think it cost more for me to buy it than it would have to for me get the physical PC CE and upgrade my regular account to CE digitally.

Hmmm...$80+how much it is for upgrading? (30?) versus a sold-out PS3 CE ($220)...

Exactly. SE owes me big-time.

Its $19.99 for the upgrade.

And SE doesn't owe you anything.

I'm sensing an air of entitlement from some of the Legacy Players. I'm not a 1.0 player, but this entire process does sound incredibly confusing, and convoluted.

That being said, I've never purchased FFXIV 1.0 - When I bought the Digital CE Version of FFXIV ARR, I was given a code which I used to activate my account and gain early access. I also don't see any indication of having received any of the Collector's Edition Perks, so it isn't just the v1.0 players having an issue with this. I'm having an issue as well. No where on my account do I see that my Collector's Edition status has been applied.
