Preorder Code tips/trick/info.

(there is a limitation on posts, so I'll try to stay up to date on the subject as much as I can in this post.)

For those of you receiving errors:

Go to the corresponding website, to your accounts region.
http://preorder.na.finalfantasyxiv.com/ for North American accounts
or
http://preorder.eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/ for UK players.
Some UK players suggest the following link instead;
http://preorder.eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/gb

For various reason, it's strongly suggested you use Internet Explorer(I found no difference in which browser you use.) A lot of people suggest you hit Ctrl+Shift+del to erase cookies, cashe etc.

Once on the page, sign in, before you select anything else.

Then, go to the drop down menu, and select "Settings"

Under settings, pick which country you are from, and save.
Then at the bottom right, should be an icon to pick your preferred language.
Choose the correct one again.

Then go back to the preorder page.

Login.

Then refresh the page.

Select your language.

Refresh the page (Some ppl dont need to do this.)

Are you still logged in?
If not, refresh the page.

Once the refresh keeps you logged in, place your mouse over the SQUARE-ENIX link at the upper left.

Does it say its an eu or na link? If its wrong, refresh the page.

Now put in your code.
If you get an error, refresh the page, and you will notice it logged you out.

Log in, refresh the page, until it saves your login info.

Put the code in again (quickly) and it should work.


IF YOU SELECT PS3 CODES.

There is currently no fix, if you receive a UK code.

It's up to chance at the moment.

You will know its a UK code, if the PSN says the code is no longer valid.

QUESTIONS ASKED SO FAR

*How do we know our accounts are linked?

For the most part, we dont know for a 100% sure.

But the only way to check, is to log into your FFXIV SE account page, and at the upper right, click on the SE page. It should take you to the SE store, and have you still logged in.

EDIT: The moment you log into your PS3 client, it asks if you want to link.
You should have already done this in phase4.

*When do we get our CD registration Keys?

There is no announcement, but some people have suggested we will have them by the 27th.
Either from the boxes being shipped to us, or from emails. (I'll fix this later, if this is incorrect.)
Which under profile, shows the games you registered. (All CE items can not be registered until launch.)

*How do I make sure I have Early Access on my PS3 account?

Click on 'Account Management' on the PlayStation Network tab on the Xross Media Bar.
Then, click on 'Transaction Management'.
Then, click on 'Service List'.
Then, click on Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.

The user should see "Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Early Access" listed there.

*What about Legacy characters, where do I get my code?

From what some are saying, you don't need a code, you just log into your client, and you're good to go.

yay lets make another 98 pages thread about it :D!

Wait if my Ps3 code was accepted on my ps3 and it let me download..then I am set? still confused on how to merge my ps3 pre order bonus items to my old V1.0 account.

Really wish there was a fix for the ps3 code.

Good luck to everyone and hi, will send my mate this way that is having the same problems :)

You should be fine for Saturday. When you can download the client from the PSN store it says " Early access etc".

I've already redempt my PC code this morning since I'm from the UK and I got the code this morning.

i've got questions :)

when will we get our actual cd key (game) code?
and how about CE code?

I'm surprised there hasn't been an official announcement about how changing your language preference in your profile allows you to redeem your preorder key.

Got my code by email this morning and registered at the page that was linked in the same email, went off without a hitch.
Wasn't too worried about EA as I am a legacy member. (yeah... I know, I'm a sucker for collectables :P)

Bought the PC pre from the European SE shop.

I thought the Error3 message was the UK code problem and that it was fixed. After I followed the steps listed by the OP everything went through smooth as silk for me. An offical announcement would be nice.

I asked it on a couple of places, but... What about the Legacy Player? I did not received a code, nor a download link, under the account management I can see only Final Fantasy XIV 1.0 and the Legacy logo.

Any idea how Legacy player will play the early access?

got my code this morning seemed to register without any trouble

according to beta forum, no further action is needed, just login to p4 client.

Yes, they are!

oh It does say on the playstation 3 under transactions it's there. just no idea how to link the accounts haha

Is it known if 1.0 owners (non-legacy) who got the PS3 preorder, will be able to play on their PC during early access?

Account will be link when you log in the PS3 client when the head start starts

2 Different things normal 1.0 do not have Head Start so if you did a PS3 preorder and registered your code on the preorder website as PS3 then you can only use PS3 in the head start

thank you Whippet!!

Worked well, ty.

Yeah I had to manually change the url to na from eu and then save my profile. nothing else was working for me. but worked perfectly fine in Chrome ^^

I have a question. I did the first code that sent me to the page with the 20 digit code. did the registration at that time, but I still have not received an email with that code on it yet.

I have an invalid PSN code, and have an open ticket in with the Support Center. Hopefully, today's maintenance on the PSN provides some sort of relief for this. I actually called Support yesterday, and (after a 2+ hour hold time) was told they don't have a solution for this yet. I got my info taken down and that's about it. Hopefully, this gets sorted soon so I can start the download.

Can legacy players get the preorder bonuses (the mini pet and the cap)? Do you get a code for them that can be applied to any account?

Edit:
This thread has more info on the preorder bonus items!

So I just linked my ps3 pre order to my old 1.0 collectors PC account! but when I check the launcher it tells me this

No valid or active service account is available to play FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

Proper registration through the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station is required.

the mog station doesn't come up til the 27th...O.o


My friends do not see this window, it just tells them to wait for early access..did I mess something up?

I have tried seemingly everything, but I still keep getting the 20 digit RAAE code for EU. I need the RAAU code for US. I have probably gotten the wrong code over 50 times in the last 24 hours. I have tried every "solution" that I have heard on the beta forums to no avail. SE support has yet to get back to me, no doubt they are swamped right now.

Don't know how much more of this BS I can take. It's 2013 and SE still can't launch an MMO?

You're not alone, I have tried everything for the last two days and still get the RAAE code. Even tried on a PC in a different state in case it was a routing or DNS issue, but no luck yet.

If it helps, the support email site states they only respond to emails from 9AM - 6PM pacific time, so I am hopeful that many of us will have our region mismatch problem resolved this afternoon.

Hi all guys.
I have a question, how do I see if I have access to the Early Access?
I received the 20-digit code and I recorded with no apparent errors but I have not received any email notification, is this normal?

P.S.
Sorry for yhe bad english:)
