Heavensward digital pre-order on Amazon.com

when I go to amazon.com and check the digital edition pre-order I get page with no ability to pre-order.
this is on the page.
Note: Currently, this item is available only to customers located in the United States and who have a U.S. billing address.
but I am located in the U.S. and have a U.S. billing address.
is the ability to pre-order just not there yet? or is this a problem I'm going to have to make a fuss with amazon about?

I should clerify.
on the pre-order page the blue square with the yellowish blue button to pre-order that is normally located in the upper right hand corner of the page does not show for me. it shows on the physical edition which I will consider if I don't see it on the digital edition in a day or 2.

note: I'm not going to post a link as it isn't hard to find it, if you wish to see if it shows for you please go to amazon.com and search heavensward currently they only show 2 listings, the physical one for PC/PS3/PS4 and the digital one for windows.

I would have ordered it on the SE store but I was givin an amazon gift card to buy it with >_>

update: the ability to preorder the heavensward digital non ce edition is now available on amazon.com as of 8:23 PM EST

wow nobody? I thought amazon.com was fairly popular for buying games like this, guess not then

It not saying you don't have a US address it just a standard message saying only people in the US can buy it.

the pre-oder is now up but they didn't send me a pre order code ;~;
oh well, guess I have to wait. can't enter the code for it in the mogstation for a few months anyway right?

Anyone know, if Amazon will have preorder codes for heavensward, im interested in buying it with them since i got a gift card waiting, but i dont want to buy something and not get the preorder code. For some reason, the CS of amazon.com is really bad and they blantly say they arent giving preorder bonus, nor know if they will ever have

The the different sites I have seen only the SE official store had mention getting pre-order bonuses.

So basicly if we want to play in the early release, we have to buy it through the SE store, kinda sucks

For the original 2.0 release I preordered and bought the digital version off Amazon and got the preorder bonus items as well as the early access.

Also I was able to preorder the digital regular version of Heavensward off Amazon right after the release date announcement, actually a bit before that iirc.
Edit: Looking at the original post date and when Amazon preorders for the digital version became available, yep that is correct. They went up March 16.

Preorder codes from Amazon have not gone out yet, but from my experience Amazon tends to wait until closer to the release of a game before sending out such codes.

But that wouldn't stop them from saying on their pre-order page that you would get one someone even posted chat from a amazon support chat with the rep telling them they had no information about any early access or pre-order codes be given out by them.

This is what Amazon posted in their Q&A section of Digital version of normal Heavensward

Hello Tirta, there is no pre-order early access code for FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward. The pre-order allows you to pay the lowest price for the game from your date of pre-order to the date of release.
Amazon Digital Services Inc SELLER answered on March 20, 2015 See this seller's offer

Which basicly means they arent going to offer the preorder code, which is really stupid, besides the fact that less people will buy from they, is kinda unfair for those that cant buy it through the SE store

Based on what I read directly on Amazon, including the "official" response to the person asking about the preorder codes and what I can gleam from people talking about their interaction with the cs reps, my guess would be that the reps just simply have no idea what the preorder code is and believe it to be a separate thing or product that differs from preordering the expansion.

However this conclusion is just my opinion based on previous experiences preordering games through Amazon including the release of 2.0 as well as the way the responses came off to me.

If you are worried about not getting the preorder code and items and don't feel obligated to get the game through Amazon then definitely get it directly through the SE store.

Edit: yep, I read that exact response and it comes off as confused to me, as if the official responder doesn't really know what the preorder code is and believes it to be a different product or service, not a code that comes with the game as a bonus.

Would be nice to get a response from a SE rep on the situation with preordering from 3rd party sellers like Amazon.

Amazon is not offering the physical collector's edition, so I'm not interested. I want the feelies.

This would be the best for those of us that wish to buy it off a 3rd party seller for what ever reason, could set us up on ease

I have no problem purchasing it from the SE store, but I've been sitting on a Amazon gift card that I got from my aunt for Christmas and I'd really love to put it to use for Heavensward. I'd also love if a rep can confirm that Amazon was given and authorized to distribute pre-order codes (and they are just not emailing them until a later date)

Is my same reason, i got a gift card waiting on Heavensward CE, but im not going to spend it in a store that wont give the preorder code

I can't even order the digital CE on Square's site...or am I missing something?

The digital download for PC is available on the store as far as I can tell.

https://store.na.square-enix.com/pro...on-pc-download

what bugs me is they said that US stores and online stores(including amazon.com which was mentioned by name) besides the SE store would have the pre-order code....c'mon SE fix this.

Would be great to get an official response from an SE mod/representive

this would be really nice right now, I don't want to miss out on the pre-order bonuses when I did infact pre-order it.

Still no word from Amazon CS or SE representive on this issue

There been a couple threads about this, in one of the threads someone posted a chat from a amazon CS of them saying they had no pre-order codes.

After my last experience just trying to get this game through the SE store, I don't care if I get the bonuses or not. Amazon all the way. From my experience with Amazon, they don't list the pre-order bonuses with a product until they're 100% sure they have the licensing to do so and it's closer to release/they have the official price point. I wouldn't worry unless it's May and it's still not mentioned in writing that Amazon gives those goods with a preorder. Amazon can be snails with product description.
