A question regarding ShB Pre-order on the PS4

Hey there, sorry for asking this out of the blue but I need some clarification on something. When I first got FFXIV it was on the PS3 version and I got the disc and eventually moved onto the PS4 with Heavensward. I did get the PC version later and currently using that at the moment.

However, I did NOT get Stormblood for the PS4 version and just PC. And I had to re-download my FFXIV game on PS4 as I went digital on that after my HD crashed and need to be re-booted with the original disc being for PS3 only.

Sorry for saying all this, but I wanted to give out as much information as possible to help answer my question properly.

I'm about to pre-order Shadowbringers on PSN which will include Stormblood from the description, but both ARR and HW were disc in-stallion for the expansion. That said I'm going to buy it off the PSN this time around for the expansion.

Though making sure I just re-connected my FFXIV account back to my PS4 beforehand by saying I have an existed account in FFXIV.

My question is will there be no issue buying the expansion from PSN and having it tied to my FFXIV's PS4 account? I don't think there should be an issue with the past expansion were from discs or not, but I wanted to cover all my bases. I WILL go to my PS4 account and not accidentally make a new account or something along those lines, right?

I don't want to re-buy the same expansion on the same console again like I did with the PC version when SB came out. Sorry for being paranoid, but I wanted to make sure.

There should be no issue, but if you don't have the license for Stormblood for PS4 and is getting it with Shadowbringers, then you'll have to wait until launch date to play even if you preorder. The early access is only for those who already have Stormblood, I believe.

I started with the disc for ARR and HW, then went digital for SB and ShB. I've had no issues with it.

Oh man... feel asleep waiting for an answer! ^_^;

Anyway, thank you. I will buy ShB on PSN then. I picked CE for the PC version and have that setup already and I'll get the normal one for PS4. Just in case something happens and I can't use my PC and have the PS4 to fall back onto.

So nothing needed on Mogstation to get Early Access then? Or do I need to check my e-mail or something to put in a code?

EDIT: Nevermind. Figured it out.

OK... sorry for bumping this topic, but I have to confirm something. I pre-order Shadowbrings on PS4 from the PSN and I'm suppose to get an exclusive Avatar and Theme for getting the game pre-order. However, I did not get the exclusive Theme for Shadowbringer, yet I have the exclusive Avatar for it. The Dark Knight/Warrior of Darkness picture and I have no idea what I don't have the Shadowbringer Theme.

Wait... I'm not sure if the Dark Knight Avatar is the PSN Exclusive Avatar or not.

It's also a hassle to try to look at your purchase history on PS4 when it's SO bad compared to PS3. At least I can see what I bought and all bonuses that go with it. Here it's just information instead of the application and DLC.
So is the Theme only available when the game launches or not? I'm a little confused.

It says BEFORE the official launch of Shadowbringers on the overview summary. I got everything but the exclusive PSN stuff.

you get the DRK avatar now, the theme will be provided closer to release. It's not available right now.

Alright just wanted to make sure.

Though the DRK Avatar IS the Exclusive Avatar? They mention the Dark Knight first on the top of the page, yet the bottom which shows the list of all the pre-order bonuses has "Exclusive PSN Avatar". Honestly this is VERY confusing with how the worded it. I wanted to double-check some sources to be sure everything was in order.
