Encyclopedia Eorzea not spotted in NA Square Enix Store

Yeah, ouch - I wasn't expecting it to sell out THAT fast. I figured if it went up at 10AM then 10:45 would be plenty early to get one, but nope. Hopefully they restock soon - clearly the demand for this thing is high!

Somehow I get the impression that the team wasn't aware just how many people actually took the lore seriously enough to warrant such massive demand for the book.

Even I'm considering buying one, and I never buy game merchandise at all.

(I had a friend that went to fanfest that had the lore book get sold out when she was in line behind 5 other people at the stall, and now she's missed this opportunity too, being shoved to the preorder list.)

This happens all the time and it's ridiculous. When will SE learn? Should have allowed Pre-Orders months ago so they'd know how many to make.

This is kind of depressing. Ever since I first heard about the Encyclopedia, literally months before FanFest, I was already sold on the product. I'm bordering on sheer, utter disbelief at how they could not have expected a high demand for it. Just because we've broken into the techno age and a lot of us spend plenty of time playing video games, it doesn't mean we don't know or appreciate what a book is, for crying out loud. Especially if it's on a game we care about. Oy vey.

I think my order got lost since I tried to cancel and order it as a normal one when it came up as a pre-order. If I lose out on this due to a clerical error, I'm gonna be pissed.

Let them know! Not just here, but on twitter, on Facebook, every social site they have let everyone know how popular this really is! It won't stay sold out, more will be made, but spreading the word may help get more sooner.

Even if it gets restocked, it will prob sell out within 30min of being re-posted. That's what happened with cait sith.

Since the book sold out so quickly I was wondering if anyone got told they got back ordered?

FFXIV team response to the sell out posted on twitter.

II hope they print more, I want one and I missed it earlier.
