Pre-order and the new release date

So originally I was not able to buy the expansion before 24th~25th of November and I was gonna miss the pre-order window and the early access to play with friends, but now that the release date and early access were moved to 3rd of December, does that mean that if I buy the expansion on 24th or 25th of November it counts as pre-order and I can get the early access? I'd assume it does, but can never be sure about things like this.

I play on PS5 and my countdown timer for Endwalker is still at 12 days and counting down as we speak. I'm guessing they are just slow to update it but I can't say for sure. The announcement was made late yesterday evening, so it might not get updated until Monday at this point.

I believe you can pre-order the expansion until the actual release day.

Tuesday probably, when Sony makes store updates.

Get ready and have fun!

If you purchase before the 7th, you get access on either the 3rd or immediately.

In the past you could "pre-order" literally up to within minutes of the expansion going live and getting access to the pre-order bonuses. I'd be surprised if you couldn't pre-order right up to dec 3rd.
