FanFest: A Realm Reborn Soundtrack

At the FanFest we could buy the Realm Reborn soundtrack. Now, we all know that the original print edition of the soundtrack contained a code for the Bahamut minion and all other print editions would not contain the code. I bought the soundtrack understanding this, since the case did not have the paper slip around it like the original edition did.

However, when I opened the case, I found slips of paper that had the instructions to redeem the code for the minion. So now I'm incredibly confused. Is this just a frustrating (and kind of mean-spirited) oversight and the redemption instructions were included accidentally? Or were these editions supposed to have codes?

Probably an oversight during the print runs lol

If it's an oversight, it's super cruel, lol! I got so excited when I found the code and already told a friend I was going to give it to her. Now I have to break the bad news to her. :(

Did you actually find a code, or just instructions?

I only found instructions on how to redeem the code (and two slips of paper that I think are about how to play the Bluray disc and joining Square Enix members).

the code is on the blue strip outside of the case on the spine hopefully you didnt throw it away thinking it was part of the packaging

that blue paper strip on the left its on the backside of that.

this is the copy I got at fanfest so I would think yours would have it too.

Hmm that stinks then. Sounds like it is just an oversight but a pretty big one IMO. I'd be disappointed too.

Hm, I honestly don't remember there being a blue paper slip like the one shown in the picture. I searched in the trash just now and only found the plastic shrink wrap. Guess I'm out of luck then. How horrible, lol.

most unusual both of mine had it so I dont know what to say

Didn't the order sheet we had to fill out indicate there was an in-game item code? (Sadly, they were sold out before I could get one.)
