Why is the PS4 digital CE of Heavenward not available?

Why is every other version of the game except the digital collectors edition for PS4 listed on the EU Square Enix store? Is is not possible to order this version and get the early access code? My friend doesn't care about the physical items but wants the in game items and early access how can he make sure he doesn't miss out.

I think they announced that it'll be available on the PSN store before.
But that's Sony's thing/deal/whateveryouwannacallit, unfortunately.

I have heard somewhere that Sony charges the developers some monthly fee for having stuff available for purchase in the PSN Store.

Assuming that is true, might as well be that Square Enix is being cheap and doesnt want to pay 2-3 months worth of Sony's fees before Heavensward releases.

I too find it very weird that PS4 Digital CE is not available and all the devs response we get is that "it will be available somewhere in the future".

Oh it's not just PS4 users.. If you purchased ARR on steam, you have no way of pre-ordering yet either... But yeah.. Just keep an eye out on the PSN store for a while? ^^;

$299 in aus for the physical collectors sold out.. seriously for a crappy statue and a book with pictures thats worth nothing once you use the codes for the real goodies … tell me is SE really afraid of making more money off digital ce copys for the ps4 … why the hell do they constantly drag there feet on this shit when ppl are wanting to throw the tools money!!! set up ps4 digital ce downloads for eu also set it up for aus and nz and sit back like good little game companies and rub your hands together!! job done!!

Has there been / can we please get an update on when the ps4 digital collectors edition is going to be available for pre-order on PSN.

It's been said repeatedly, a couple times in this thread alone, that it's not Square holding back a PS4 release but Sony. Once Sony figures out what's holding them back we'll have a PSN release. Square can't strongarm them into acting, either, as PSN isn't owned by Square. It will be out when it's out, we just have to wait.

yesyes, sony has to figure out how this works, like this is the first game sony put in their store EVER

Likely a bug on Sony's end or they just want more money from SE?

probably it is because we linked the psn account with the square enix account. that would allow us to pre-order heavensward and don't have to use a pre-order code or a code to unlock heavensward. if they are working so we don't have to use that codes i don't mind waiting a bit longer.

buuuut.. i don't think so xD that scenario is just too smart :x

I never said anything about square holding the preorder back. I said has there been an update and if not can we can an update from the community reps. Also the people responding in this thread (thanks for your input) haven't provided concrete information they are going on speculation by saying things like " I think" and "I heard". It's almost a month til early access starts I don't want to just wait til it's out and miss out on opportunities afforded to other people.

Do not expect updates from them on the same subject matter if it's going to be the same response time and time again. They'll "update" when it's actually pertinent to their previous statement: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...73#post2932673

Yes, as I mentioned, they will include the pre-order bonuses (early access is a pre-order bonus).
Also, I know you're all very anxious that it's not available yet, but keep in mind that we still have plenty of time until the launch (or start of early access) for pre-orders on PSN to begin. We're very much aware you're all waiting (very patiently!) and are working on it. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/i...lies/smile.png

It's not your fault, but these PS4/PSN Digital CE threads are getting old. Please read the previous posts/use the Dev Tracker and do not worry so much. You're getting scared for nothing. This isn't the first time an expansion hasn't been available this close to launch for any MMO, and it won't certainly be the last. You'll be in a worried state come again this time around every year at this rate.

Thank you. I do follow the dev posts but I thought they would throw us a bone like "we are still working on it" etc or provide clarification on why it is such a task getting it on psn. If people understood the process it would probably stop a lot of the questions.

If you actually never got to have the chance to pre-order, there's a 99.99% chance they'll do a promotion where-in PSN users can opt to get the items provided they provide proof of their PSN Store purchase, either through the PSN's account history or receipt information, what have you.

SE is pretty much catering to everyone; even the Steam users are freaking out. But they've already gotten a response that they'll get to pre-order. They only haven't said anything to PSN users because they've responded to them already for the umpteenth time.
