Pre-Order Bonus Codes

So.
Who all got 2 Pre-Order Bonus codes for the price of one? I was talking in the Reddit Discord, and it seems some people got 2, and others only got 1.

If they ordered two+ copies of the game it groups them in the same spot. I ordered 3 copies (mine, hubby, and an alt acct) and each gets its own code so 3 codes are listed. This doesnt show that they got a freebie necessarily.

I only ordered 1 copy

I'm having issues where my pre-order code isn't working. I went through the special site and entered it fine, then followed the steps for the mog station part. It gets rejected at that point, saying it's invalid. Can we only enter it March 1st or later there? Or were other people able to enter it fine?

There's 2 different places for item codes in the mogstation. Did you try both?

Maybe by 7.0, Square will have refined their purchasing process so that you don't have to juggle codes across 2-3 different sites.

Think people would appreciate if I made a visual guide for how to redeem this? xD

Every expansion we do this, and every expansion someone makes a guide XD

I also received two codes with my one order. I gave the second to a friend to try and she said that, when she entered it, it was "invalid". So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I purchased the digital collectors for steam. the code for the early access was granted but not the collectors. I have a feeling the code for collectors will become valid at some point when either early access begins or after when the expansion is officially released.

That's how it was for Stormblood. Pre-order/early access codes came first, then you had to enter the rest of it on the official release date

I pre-ordered it for the PS4 from the website via PSN. I got my confirmation email but no codes. Were there supposed to be codes?

PSN is linked to your account. If I remember right you dont need to worry about codes. Just log in to the game after purchase and it asks which service account you want to add the expansion to. Just confirm which one and its done.

Well it worked as you said. Logged into the game it worked. ;)

Yeah, tried both. I copy-pasted it and tried hand typing it, and I'm still getting the code is invalid. I got the digital collector's edition, though I doubt that matters with the pre-order code.

Also sorry for taking the thread for my own question. Is anyone else having an issue getting the code to work on the mog station? If other people have been able to submit them fine, then I guess it's on my end.

Yep, I went through the site, followed the instructions and entered it there. It shows up just fine, but when I tried to continue to add it to the mog station, it just tells me it's invalid. I'm at work so I really can't get a screenshot right now, but it did work fine on the store site that you linked, just not the mog station.

humm could be that was an issu with the moogstation but mine worked just fine yesterday when i put mine inn. now comes a stupit question did u use uppercase or lowercase

Another thing did u buy from the right store im asking because of this on the redeem site:This pre-order code will only work on European Square Enix accounts and will not work on accounts from a different region


Aslo just was on the moogstation now and on my screen there is only one place to put in the code now could be because i have already put in but now i have only the item code button not the for the preorder

Just want to put this here for people

This is what I was missing, thank you. I'm going to guess I just didn't scroll down or the second code didn't load for some reason, but things are working now. The process is really redundant, and I know they need to do this for security reasons, but hopefully they can eventually streamline the process.

I was having trouble entering my preorder code, kept coming back as invalid.. then later it just worked.. so to others that literally just bought it, got the code and hammered it in immediately into mog station just to find it doesn't work and ... anyways just let it digest on the internet for like 10 minutes and enter the code... also don't use the "copy to clipboard" thing in steam cd key list won't work and might screw up the entry.

I only received one code, for pre-order stuff. Which when put in on the redemption website then turn into another code to be put into MogStation.

No Digital Collector's Edition code though, I imagine that comes later.

I know you found the answer yourself, but I'll post here just in case others have the same question!

If you pre-order digitally on PlayStation™Store, you do not need any additional codes.
After you've pre-ordered, just launch FFXIV as normal and the game system will recognize the pre-order code, and ask you which service account (if you have multiple) you wish to tie it to. And you're set! The two in-game pre-order items (Aetheryte Earring and Baby Gremlin Minion) will start delivering (tentatively) on March 1st at 12:01am (PT)!

After the full game launches, the full Shadowbringers registration will work the same way (standard or Collector's Edition).
Launching the game after launch and it'll recognize on the back end that you need to tie your code to your service account. Easy peasy!

I actually just picked up the FFXIV Steam collector's edition off of steam. Shows not installed with a check box, however, the game doesn't seem to recognize it after both rebooting steam, updating steam, redownloading and installing steam, as well as launching FFXIV. Didn't see any preorder codes pop up with the CE edition of the FFXIV ShB expansion on steam.

I actually didnt even receive mine yet. Did it come from your email? Or show up as a code through steam on a message on the steam window?

Once you have pre-purchased the game, you will be able to view your registration codes by selecting “FINAL FANTASY XIV Online” in your Steam “Library” and selecting “CD key” on the right-hand menu. The codes will always be accessible from this location should you ever need to reference them again. Please note that these codes will only work on Steam FINAL FANTASY XIV service accounts.

How to Redeem Your Pre-order Item Code

1. Log in to the FINAL FANTASY XIV Mog Station with your Square Enix ID.
2. Select the "Your Account" menu from the top of the screen. If you have multiple service accounts (represented as tabs), please select the service account you wish to redeem your code on.
3. Select "Enter Pre-order Bonus Code (Early Access Code)", then follow the on-screen instructions to redeem your code!

As I mention below - your full Shadowbringers code cannot be redeemed on Mog Station until the official release date. Your codes will stay within that "CD Key" menu until then, so don't worry!

Correct!

Steam users get their full Shadowbringers (standard, or collector's edition) code immediately on pre-purchase.
However, this code cannot be redeemed on the Mog Station until the launch of the game. (It'll always be in your "CD Key" menu to reference in the future!)

By any chance, can HW and SB be released earlier than that if I only have ARR and pre-ordered Shadowbringers? :(

It's probably going to be one code that gives access to all three.

Oh bummer.

You can get the Stormblood expansion though, which should still unlock heavensward.. if you really dont want to wait for the official release date and want to enjoy 5.0 with the others.
Im sure you can find stormblood discounts or promotions if you are patient enough.. and check reddit or so for these special offers.

Actually, I did not think about that. Since everyone else ahead of me also bought SB in the first place. Harder to snipe for special offers though since I'm on Steam.

Thanks for the tip!

I would be interested in an official answer for this as well.

The website https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/shadowbringers/product/ says: Registration of this product also grants users access to FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward and FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood.

And according to the community rep post below, you can't register for Shadowbringers until the game is launched.
