Is there a limit to the free fantasia event?

I've been playing this game for 5 years or so. Could I in theory pre-buy like 3-4 years of sub with the promotion and get a buttload of free fantasias?

Or are there some limits in place that I missed?

---

Also, are the time-cards giftable or do they lock onto your account right away? I could easily see myself buying like 5 years worth of codes and gifting some of them to friends or such.

I feel like there's no downside to this event. Is there a catch? It feels like I could scoop up all the fantasias I could ever want and it wouldn't cost me extra beyond what I already pay for my sub.

I suppose. That's a LOT of time to be pre-paying for though.

I bought one. I got a confirmation email with a link to my codes, you can give the codes away at that point if you wanted. Unsure if there is a limit to how many you can buy.

How does this work for Steam users?

Yeah, I thought about that. It is a lot to pre-pay for. But if Stormblood and Eureka told me anything. It's that even if I don't feel like playing the game. I still have to pay for it (to keep my house). So I figured they got me sunk for at least another 2-3 years anyways. Unless they pull a Blizzard or Bethesda and betray the player-base. But honestly, given how great Shadowbringers was. I have faith that my 3 years wouldn't be wasted.

I am unsure what to do regarding this event. I usually buy the 6month one since it saves a bit of money and i have no plans to unsub, and i have never changed my toon's race since i joined and probably never will, but i am going back and forth on if it is worth it so i can make changes to my toon not on the aestician if i ever wanted to. I worked out the cost this is how it breaks down.

6month sub single purchase no fantasia: £46.14
6month via 3x offer purchases with 3 fantasia: £53.94
3x fantasia cost: £16.10

So if i get the 6month via this offer for the fantasia and never use them i have spent £7.78 extra for nothing.
On the other hand if at some point i use fantasia i have saved £8.30 by having the three instead of buying them at a later date after the offer ends.

I am actually thinking of getting one just to get another pass at the height slider...

I mean I am going to sub another 60 days anyway so why not?

Is that offer account wide?
It was not clear if it is for a single char or acc wide.

it uses the singular throughout so this would be a single code that you redeem on the mogstation for a phial on the character of your choice I am guessing.

I'm guessing its for one item code which you choose to apply to any one character (like the mount was for the amazon one).

I settled on 30. I had some issues with my last viera, I ended up wanting longer ears, made her slightly shorter (was at 50 before on my rava). I didn't think I'd make her a pale veena, but I did. I'm going to try to stay this character permanently though, I need to stop switching. :eek:

Id go in on this right away if it was account wide, sure because i have 12 characters. But i dont think itll be that sort of party. If someone knows for sure do tell

There is no limit as far as I know. I purchased 2 game times at the same time and got 2 fantasias along with them.

The same way. You just redeem the code in Mog Station.

The code can be used on any character, so just don't redeem the code yet until you are sure which character will use it. When you are ready to redeem, you have to choose a character and the fantasia will be tied to that character.

So will I get a code for being subbed for 60 days during the promo without actually buying the 60-day pass? It worked for the Falcon mount.

You have to buy the time card. The incentive is if you pre-pay for 60 days via a time card they'll give you a free Fantasia. It's meant to get people to remain subbed. Hype over the initial launch of Shadowbringers is slowly dying down until the next big patch so this is probably hopes to keep people around longer.

After all, the more time cards you buy to get the Fantasias the longer you'll be subbed to stick around.

I need to stay away from fantasias otherwise my addiction will take hold... I do need one for my alt though.. she needs to be a viera too..

Is the prepay 60 days a set fee or based on your sub price?

Time code purchase, should be the same for everyone.

No, it's not that type of promotion. It's a bonus code for purchasing a 60-day code.

Ah I see. The reason I ask is that Legacy players get a discounted sub rate. So for legacy players your better off buying the phantasia separately as it's cheaper that way.

Exactly. Also keep in mind this doesn't account for any additional retainers you purchase. And if I'm correct non-Legacy also need to pay for extra characters don't they? Neither of which would be covered by the time card I think.

I will consider it. I use entry sub right now because I only play the one character but by the time my sub is up (it’s for one month) I might want to play alts again.
