is it too late to preorder for early access or nah?

I kinda wanna preorder but i kinda know first days are usually complete mess

Nope.
Just bought my physical PC copy about 20 mins ago...but it's going to be a sh!tstorm when it's released...
Push comes to shove, they'll extend your days like they did in 2.0 for a week. I know I won't be
able to play for days on Balmung....

it is only to late when Early access is up until then you can pre-order at any time.

Shouldn't be to late to pre-order. But even with it being a mess, Its still worth it.

Still waiting on steam pre-order....

Volvo please.

Us playing on consoles but not wanting the $60 statue are still waiting...

Well i just got my early access code from gmg.
obviously cant use it yet

Pre-orders better not close any time soon, I've been waiting for the digital CE for PS4 to become available, and so far, it has not.
