Soundtrack Codes

To everyone who bought a soundtrack yesterday at Fan Fest, did you see the in-game minion codes attached to them?

I bought both soundtracks, Before Meteor (the red one) & ARR (the blue one) and only found the "Wind-up Bahamut" code with the ARR one. I can't find any codes for the "Wind-up Dalamud" inside the Before Meteor OST so just wanted to check whether it was just my copy or if this code is now missing for them all?

The support page here doesn't help.

There is no "sheet with Louisoix and Dalamud on it (20-digit code, beginning with RVAA)" in my copy at least.

I have the same problem, it seems that even though the NA Fan Fest got first edition copies with the code, we paid the same price as they did for the second edition copies that don't include one.

Don't know about you but it has really ticked me off. I waited in a 4 hour long merch queue just to get the minion items to find one OST doesn't have it and my artbook one was missing =/

If I remember correctly the wind-up Dalamud was actually a limited edition and only shipped with the 1st edition soundtracks, the later versions contain no minion.

The NA Fan Fest all had limited edition ones, so naturally we all assumed we'd have them too (and ours were about £6 more than theirs... so we paid more for less merch ><)

NA version didn't have any of the Before Meteor ones, only the second soundtrack, which came with the code.

Plus, you guys got so many plushes!!!

Oh, I assumed by "original soundtrack" it meant Before Meteor o-o, and the cactuar/tonberry plushies sold out within an hour or so, while we were still in the queue, had to scratch them off of our order lists ><

Not only that, but the US list was very specific as to what items would have minion codes in, we got no information at all! Was that just not planned, or intentional to sell more copies of Before Meteor? >< Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the music and a lot of hard work went into it, but I'm a minion collector and was expecting just that..

I have it too and feeling a little disappointed that I don't have the minion code, only few I have left to collect pre-2.5... :/

Well the Before Meteor soundtrack did go on sale over a year ago, I've just looked at my old order page on the SE site and I ordered it on September 19th 2013, so it was extremely unlikely you'd be getting a 1st edition anyway - if you wanted the minion that bad you should have got it when it was first available (like I did.) To be honest, I'd be annoyed if you were still able to get them.

I was actually going to ask this question. I admittedly bought the 1st thinking I might get Dalamud but I guess I was mistaken!

Still it's a great OST no matter what and very glad I have it. I also managed to bag a From Astral to Umbral CD while at MCM Expo which I asked for on Sunday (whoever was in chartge of the SE booth on Sunday is awesome) which I was a little surprised we couldn't get at FF Fan Fest.

You're right, I should have remembered that affordability is irrelevant, and you can get anything in this world through wanting it badly enough =P

They were selling first edition copies at the SE stall in MCM on Friday, then again they were apparently also selling Delivery Moogles which I'm sure people aren't too happy with xD

I deserve that first comment and I know it's selfish. I just like things that I buy with something that states a bonus "exclusive" especially in a first run only scenario to actually be at least kind of exclusive. More than a year on I'd expect them not to still be producing the codes, more so I'd kind of expect them to sell out of all the first edition copies.

However, if the thing about them selling the first edition copies at the MCM SE stall is true, I'm less annoyed that they are still available and more annoyed that they didn't give event goers like yourself who went to FanFest the opportunity to have them and instead stocked non-code containing copies. Afterall, SE should (and did for the most part) have put EVERYTHING into FanFest. Even if there was only a limited number available, why not make those available to the fans at your event rather than at an expo.

Oh and on the Delivery Moogle front they are starting to sell those on the website soon IIRC, selling them at MCM as well makes sense from a business standpoint and afterall SE do own FF and they've always been good at letting fans bag unreleased upcoming goodies at conventions. I'd like to hope that nobody went to FanFest just to get the Delivery Moogle a few days earlier, but I could be wrong. XD

I didn't go for -just- the delivery moogle, but yeah I (and some people I talked to in the queue so I know I'm not alone XD) had been lead to believe that the delivery moogle was an exclusive and wouldn't be sold online either >< It was only after the event I found out I could have skipped the hugemongous queue and just ordered it online a few days later >>

ive pre ordered it online i saw the que and thought fuck that i will just order what i want online i asked crew they said its all online just wont be sending out for like a week :) so yh i missed out on the que and got to do what i wanted :) but i do feel sorry for people in that que

Just bought the Before Meteor soundtrack three days ago, came today. Came with the Wind-up Dalamud code.

Guess I shouldn't have purchased it at the event then! Shame it's a bit of a pot luck situation now if you get the code or not. I'll accept I haven't got one but do feel a little disappointed as many are still flying about and was under the impression I would get it. I also know of a couple others that bought the Before Meteor OST thinking the same as me.

i ordered the plushie and it got put up for sale today as mine is on my way to me :)

Where did you order it if you don't mind me asking?

The square enix online store. (North America, if that matters) It's in the booklet, unlike the OST which was the little piece of cardboard on the spine.

Got a reply back from SE, they've basically said tough luck, no one at Fan Fests getting the code. Heard back from a friend of mine, took pictures of his MCM loot, he definitely got the Dalamud minion code with his copy, meaning the SE stall at MCM had more AND better stock than the fan fest. xD

That's really disappointing. So SE expects us to spend an extra £39.99 in the on-line store for another soundtrack in order to get the code? Not that that's even possible since they've been "Currently not in stock" on the on-line store for a while now.

Unfortunately, only the first run of Before Meteor OST had the code available. It would not have been advertised, at the time - that you would receive the code with your purchase.

Unfortunately we do not have any codes left, and our head office have advised that we can only apologize for any inconvenience caused by this.

Please note that we can only consider refunds for items that are damaged or not working. In this instance we can not offer a refund for your item. If you have any further queries, please contact us again.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.



So if you want the minion, there is LITERALLY nothing you can do other than buy copies over and over until you luck onto a first edition one.

Guess I got lucky.. I kinda feel like crap for you, though. :<
