I may be out of the loop, but where is it?
heavensward has been on the list since IIRC the 20th of May, but pre-ordering it is a no-show.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-we-have-it%21 join the fun ppl are asking about it here as well as psn :P
nah, Steam users need our own rant thread.
Maybe this'll be a blessing in disguise and SE will be goaded into adding a standard PC key to the accounts of those who bought it on Steam so you can get away from that version and any future headaches that will likely pop up.
You could ask Valve on Steam forums about this.
What about now? I'm pretty sure it is already on steam, saw a post about it this week...
When you pre-order on Steam, you will receive a product registration key code that you may redeem on Mog Station which grants you the following bonuses:
Early Access
Pre-order FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward on Steam and access Heavensward content from June 19, 2015.
I'm gonna wait until the 17th before I start to worry about this.
Ahaha
These steam threads
Dont worry they'll get to it eventually... Lol
Perhaps after the 19th?
Jk jk maybe.
Oh, I'm sorry, just because we didn't get it through Squeenix we should be lambasted by someone who did?
This point also goes for the PSN people, they don't have Heavensward for pre-order yet either, but a Rep said "soon™", meanwhile, on steam; nothing since the page's initial spawn back on the 20th (or a bit later than that), and the steam community hasn't been updated since some time in March.
so we're the lesser client just because we bought our game from a different re-seller than you? o.O
Also here to express my concern about the lack of updates about the steam version being late. I would really love to be able to participate in the early access and it's unfair if we will be restricted away from it, just because we bought it on steam.
Again, if they don't know why and are in communication with someone else, they may not know what they need to apologize for.
Besides it's Sunday. They can't make any announcements like that until someone is in the office to authorize it. Technically it's still "sometime in may" right now.

"We're working with Valve to launch pre-orders for the digital standard edition and digital Collector's Editions sometime in May."
even if they do it tomorrow, it's already June everywhere. So it should be obvious that at least an update is in order.
As I said on steam:
developers work with steam and are informed. Hence why when Cities Skylines gave a pre-order date, they met it, when Tera got a release date, they met it, when Bloodlust got a pre-order date, they met it. In fact this is the first game out of those 500 that I own where I see a promised date not met.
they said something and haven't delivered. That's a bad practice. Whether it's a miscommunication in their offices, or between them and steam, it's not for the consumer to solve, but regardless the circumstances the consumer CAN complain as they were told information that has been proven to be untrue today and they have not received an update on that.
Sure they can complain. But they are not exactly 'owed' a reply as they have not been charged for anything at this point. Steam and PSN are one of those distribution systems that while they help with exposure and generate them revenue it's not exactly a pain free happy union. Both take a chunk of sales. Valve most likely takes part of the sub fee since their version can be paid through steam. And if the in game micro transactions (mogstation) work like other games on steam they even get a cut of those. This is part of the problem of why steam clients/non steam clients can't mix. SE would incur a steam tax upon what was previously all theirs.
No one is owed a reply sure, but as currently subscribed customers I'm sure SE wants to keep them happy.
As to why it's taking them so long, who knows? I'd sure appreciate knowing why, but as long as we get access to early access I don't mind them being quiet about it.
