I checked on the PSN store just now and on my end it looks like they fixed the Stormblood repurchase thing, since it doesn't tell me i have to repurchase anymore. However they also removed it from the FFXIV "Add-on" list. Don't worry on the latter. I believe the SB preorders was moved in the Stormblood PS4 preorder theme, so we won't lose our Early Access if it's still on our service list.
After reading some of the concerns you guys have brought, I decided to turn on my PS4 to find that I too had the same issues.. i.e.. Stormblood was not in my download queue. Anyway, I haven't played the game for four days and I had just noticed this today. I knew there was going to be maintenance for early release but I decided to play anyway.. To my surprise it started patching to STORMBLOOD..So I guess my pre-order (from PSN) worked.. Now i have the game patched and will play when servers finishes maintenance AT 2am!! So worry not gents.
If I'm not mistaken patching the game is not the same as having the expansion for early access. When you receive patches during an expansion that just gives you the ability to see the content other players have played and the gear they have obtained but not play it yourself.
I've deleted and reinstalled my game and checked every day this week and I still do not have the ability to download my expansion. it still says you already own this game but the counter keeps saying "this game will unlock in two days on 06/13/2017" which was two days past not ahead... I got the error in my download quench's on my computer like everyone else but it does not seem like SE nor Sony have fixed anything. I've found other threads that suggested its a launcher issue on playstation but so far I've had not luck and have not been given the ability to download my stormblood, I am not confident it will be fixed on time, I am confident that no one at SE or Sony even care or even have it on their radar and probably won't care until they get a flood of complaints tomorrow and they know the game isn't being downloaded by people.
Well I will curb some of my pessimism in this matter. I left my game to download again after deleting it from my PSPro, once I returned after leaving it for a good part of the morning to download I returned to my excitement to see that the game launcher had been updated to a Stormblood Icon on my home screen. When I launched the game it asks me to register my early access to my mogstation account and I can now confirm that my mogstation also states storm blood early access on my account.
I suppose what I was reading earlier about the launcher being the issue might have some truth too it. I still haven't had or seen the expansion download separate like Heavenward does but maybe SE decided to push the expansion via the patch system to the original game and launcher instead of having it be a separate download.
This could be a coincidence since I did do this on a server down time day before an expansion and maybe the intent was to always do a patch and not a full download but if you still are worried and still have issues you could always go the reinstall route even if it is slow as heck on a playstation.
Having the same issue now it says that it's unavailable for me I click on them me more and it says you cannot purchased cause I had already purchased the stormblood collectors edition but won't let me download early access
