FINAL FANTASY XIV: HEAVENSWORD Collector's Edition for Greece.

Hi all,

HEAVENSWARD is just on the corner and OMG I have so much hype, but since the release date is getting alarmingly close and we still hven't got concrete information about where to Preorder our HEAVENSWARD PS4 Collector's Edition, and where we will get provided our Early 19th June Access Passes, we Greek FFXIV fans are getting worried.


Please point us the Greek Retailer you are partnering with or the UK Retailer that sends to Greece, since the "European" Square-Enix Store doesn't.


Thanks in advance, and please reply soon. Your Greek fans are starting to get worried.

You could always borrow a few copies from Germa--ohwait...

What an ironic username.

physical or digital?
For digital PS4 (CE) version we would have to wait until Sony put it into the PSN store.

Physical of course. I want the edition to collect.

Hello FINAL FANTASY XIV Community Team.

We are still waiting for a reply.
If negotiations are still in progress, a formal reply for reassurance would be appreciated.

Less than 55 days now. It is becoming alarming, still nowhere we can Preorder and no word from Square-Enix.

I don't think there is a Greek version of FFXIV its only in English, JP, German and French.

I don't think you understand.
FINAL FANTASY XIV is a Worldwide release.

Have you tried this? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Final-Fantas...ds=heavensward

Yeah, sadly they don't have the PS4 Physical Collector's Edition.

If I recall, there are no available PS4 PCEs at the moment, due to contracting with Sony.
It's Sony's department if SE wants to sell Heavensward for the PS4, unfortunately.

The most SE could do, anyway, is tell you to look to your local retailers for imports that they take part in. That's what they told people in another thread to do when they tried ordering the expansion for their platform from a certain area of the world that is not located within Europe, Japan, Germany or the US.

Whether or not they actually supply the Physical CE, though, is another thing.

But Yoshi-P has explicitly promised that every single player will have access to every product.
I won't comment for merchandice that have in-game items tide to them and how them not being available to tons of players equals a brake of that promise, but the game itself??? Plus, the Physical PS4 Collector's Edition is available on Amazon USA, why not Amazon UK at least?

What are you talking about? Square-Enix is the Publisher.

SE may be the publisher, but Sony requires extensive licensing and distribution rules to be followed, in order to allow SE to make Heavensward for the PS4. Sony wants its cut in the game profits. Its actually the same reason we don't have a pre-order yet for Steam customers.

What are you talking about? Again, it's up on Amazon USA, and Square Enix's own frigging store in both US, EU, and JP for PS4.
Also, link for the Steam part.

He can make all the promises he wants, but the fact stands that the game/expansion is mainly supported, both in operation and in sale, in the 4 supported regions I mentioned earlier.

SE doesn't have dedicated venues for other places in the world, at least not yet (if they plan to expand to those other regions, assuming otherwise). This is why they tell players that import the base game or purchase the game from retailers that import the game in certain languages to refer to those local retailers for news on the expansion and the possibility that they could import it.

They made it sound like it's not a sure-fire thing, but that's, unfortunately, the way it is for now.

They made the PS4 version, standard and CE (soon, digital) available on their main sites because those are the supported regions. Amazon US distributes in whole to the US; Amazon UK mostly to the UK. The fact that it's missing on the UK site is probably because they just haven't gotten around to putting up there, yet (assuming you imported the game from there or it has the base game on sale there right now).

SE said they'd announce more details regarding certain versions of the PS4 CE. If they haven't said anything regarding availability in certain regions by then, then I would worry.

N-no you got it wrong.
Amazon is like a store (wait, it is a store.)
It sells stuff that it's licensed to. In this case, USA/CANADA and stuff.
It's not available in your region because either Amazon or whatever retailer you're trying to buy it off does not have the correct authority to, Sony isn't giving the A-OK to sell it in your region, or even SE hasn't obtained any permits/license from Sony to sell the PS4 version in the UK.


are you this...uh...no offense, dense?

And where do you think Greece is? You say supported in USA. Japan, Europe, and.... Germany.

1) Europe is not a country... -_-
2) Germany is in Europe... -_-
3) Greece is in Europe... -_-

So, they woudn't need dedicated venues for the rest of the European countries that are in the European Unionn nor "expand" because they are supposed to already support Europe officially. So, I expect them to keep their promises and their end of the deal. We keep ours (subscription).

Something else. Amazon UK does not ship only in UK, it ships in European Union freely.

The other thing is also that "A Realm Rreborm" Collector's Edition was available here locally. So, it's natural to assume the expansion would be too especially after Yoshi-P's promises, and I don't want to think they hooked us first and abandoned us later.

And if they are indeed going to allow retailers to carry it, that's why this topic exists, to get confirmation at least from official source, so I won't go and dump 300 Euros on an ebay scalper from UK that has access to the Square-Enix Store.

Off with your passive aggressive smartass wannabee remarks. Who is dense is obvious.

1) The PS4/PC Physical Collector's Edition is already being sold by Square-Enix on their European Store and ships in like most European countries, included in UK of course. So, they do indeed are selling these in my Region (Europe), so even if SONY had a say in the matter (which they don't lol, Square-Enix is the Publisher, but let's just say that they are for your sake), in this case they haven't enforced it obviously.

2) The PC Physical Collector's Edition is not available for sale in retailers too. How the heck can you keep saying with a straight face that SONY is enforcing whatever you have convinced yourself they have?

The Square Enix store does not support Greece for Physical Copy delivery. I checked for myself. However they support Digital Download. If you don't care about the 130 euros Physical CE Box then you can buy Heavensward from SE store as a digital and download it. I think there are few more countries in Europe except Greece where SE does not support delivery of physical boxes. You can buy the Physical Box edition from any EU online store like Amazon or you can wait for Greek retailers to bring the game. You can check availability through www.skroutz.gr A few retailers already have Heavensward in their listings.

Thanks for the reply. But no one has the Physical Collector's Edition that we want to collect. The normal edition is of course available.

So.... Why was the Physical PS4 Collector's Edition on Amazon USA and not on Amazon [B]UK?/B]

Do you really want us to pay 350 EUROS on Ebay Square-Enix? Thank you very much for the consideration you put in your paying customers.

SE says "You're welcome, please look forward to it! :)", as it pockets your money.

Remember, if they can use ignorance as a reason to overcharge people who are willing to pay a higher price, they will do so.
