As a Legacy player, it seems that we should automatically receive the pre-order bonuses including the Moogle Hat and the Cait Sith pet. Seeing how we already owned the game, it's not possible for us to rebuy it to gain these bonuses as well. After all, Legacy players did preorder the game, just a year or two before everyone else did.
Is it me or does it seem kind of odd that Legacy players were not automatacally given these awards and have no ability to get them?
Why don't Legacy players also get the pre-order bonuses?

I'm going to be honest...You didn't preorder ARR. What do you expect?
-

Technically, couldn't you have preordered the PS3 version? I'm not legacy so this issue doesn't have anything to do with me, but you didn't need to buy the game again (regular or CE, and if you had CE you get BOTH sets of items)...it does seem like you already get quite a bit for Legacy, you really needed more?
-
08-28-2013, 08:48 AMAronosI'd expect to still have the same opportunities as every other player. To me it seems like it was something that was just overlooked. Sending preorder bonuses to legacy players seems only obvious seeing how they'd played the game even before the people who preordered ARR.Quote:

With the amount of bonuses you ALREADY GET (reduced subs for life, 2.0 CE items (if you had 1.0 CE list goes on) you're being pretty greedy. Also, had you preordered, you would have gotten it.

I pre-ordered it. Still haven't found out how to apply the code to my legacy account, but I'm patient on that.

As a legacy myself. . . . . Please just stop. . . Ppl already think very little of us because of topics like this. . . We got our special treatment, got our special discount, our special mount and easy early access. . . Be happy with what you got and stop asking for more. You could have gotten all the preorder stuff if you preordered. That's what they were for.

The early access code is a separate code that gives early access and the digital items. It can be applied to a legacy account with the same methods used as applying it to a new account using different options during entry. Just apply it to the legacy account, it's really just an addon code instead of a new account code.

I am 1.0 I done this, My friend is Legacy they done this.
If you really need to be told how to preorder a game then you cannot be helped. -

Legacy players received the Legacy chocobo in addition to other benefits (some more apparent than others).

Essentially you're saying, "You preordered too early. Buy a newer version of the same game."
I don't see the logic. -

OP: If you want the pre-order bonus items you have to pre-order. I pre-ordered for the pre-order items and applied it to my account. Saving the PC CE code for a relative. You can't have everything on a silver plater.
There was an e-mail informing folks who pre-ordered the site is now live... etc. This site: http://preorder.na.finalfantasyxiv.com/Quote:

OP has a point. I'm normally against the Legacy players should get more train of thought, but I, like many others, did pre-order the game years ago. If I already pre-ordered the game once, why should I have to re-pre-order to get the same status I already have?
-
08-28-2013, 09:04 AMIlenyaI got the pre-order code working. I was trying to tell whether or not I can get the CE bonus items on my legacy account.Quote:

I'm a Legacy player. I preordered CE at the time of 1.0 AND I preordered another CE for 2.0 (boxed version) just to support FFXIV:AAR. Yet my ordered which I placed back in May was canceled by zavvi due to an error with the price display. They asked me to replace the order (which I did on the 26th and was still called pre-order) yet I didn't receive any pre-order code. That is to say there are problems with pre-ordered items even for Legacy players that actually bought a new game again.
EDIT: I pre-ordered the 2.0 for the second time on the 25th actually. Just checked zavvi mail. -

I agree. We should get them all.

All I know is I am legacy, pre ordered, used the code and did not get my cat and the hat

Some friends who are also legacy either got a PS3 version or bought the PC version again just to have the game in a dvd to not have to download it every time they format.
The PC version was 25€, it's cheap enough to consider re-buying it if you really care so much about the extra items. -
08-28-2013, 05:02 PMHaoma
The pre-order bonuses aren't meant for us. If you wanted them, you would pre-order the game again.
That's not an argument. Never was. Anyone who pre-ordered the original game got their bonuses from 3 years ago; you don't get any of those perks. What is with you misers?Quote:

I can't wait until ARR has been around for a while and people who paid $45 for a broken game can stop asking for everything like they single-handedly saved Square Enix.

The Pre-order bonus items were a reward for pre-ordering 'Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn', not 'Final Fantasy XIV'.
That is all that needs to be said really... -
08-28-2013, 05:06 PMKurai
I am Legacy and i received all the CE extras but not because of the Legacy status. (This did not include the Cait Sith doll and other Pre-order item as i did not pre-order the game this time around) I got the Behemoth Barding, Courel Mount, the hat with horns and the Baby Behemoth minion.
I bought the v1 Collectors edition which entitled me to the new bonus items. so in short you only get the bonus items if you bought a collectors edition, either v1 or 2. legacy already get a nice monthly discount and a free mount, if you didn't buy a collectors edition then its only fair that you don't get all the items. -
08-28-2013, 05:07 PMSeikon
Because FFXIV is not FFXIV: A Realm Reborn. Different game, obviously. Your legacy bonuses and character transfers is SE just being extra nice to the people who stuck with them on a fail product. You know, cause SE had a couple of bad consecutive years. Think of your legacy status as a investor's reward. Nothing more, nothing less. Be happy you don't have to spend 30 bucks and start from level 1.

Bah, entitled people now days, I am legacy and 1.0 CE owner, also on a pension. I wanted the pre-order items, so instead being all entitled I pre-ordered a copy of the PC version of ARR. I also did this at the Australian prices, so stop being so gi'me, gi'me, gi'me and use a tiny bit of that brain you should have in that noggin and do things the right way.
NO! legacy do not deserve to get the pre-order items for ARR, unless you made the effort to actually get a pre-order of the ARR version.
No wonder I hate humans these days, such a sad lot. -
08-28-2013, 05:07 PMKraggyNo, it's not just you but you're all wrong.Quote:

I got what I paid for 3 years ago, I could have got these new toys had I wanted them by paying for them as was perfectly reasonable for SE to require.
Your "year or two before" comment is of course idiotic so we'll skip that. -

I´m a legacy player too and I really wanted that sweet little cat minion. What did I do to get it, you ask?^^ Surprise! I bought a pre order key ...
-
08-28-2013, 05:59 PMSangnz
Meh I was legacy flagged and I went out a pre ordered ARR anyway just to show my support plus it was cheap so no complaints from me.
-
08-28-2013, 06:01 PMNipaahYou had the opportunity, but as you said you DIDN'T pre-order it, so yeah I know plenty of legacy players who has their pre-order bonuses.Quote:

Well did not know the cat and the hat(which all legacy should get for free) were in the early access code, which I gave away because legacy did not need it, oh well win some and lose some.
-
08-28-2013, 06:05 PMQuistarIm legacy and i don't think we should get everything... but I just pre-ordered the PS3 version even though I play primarily on PC and linked my account to PSN one. Now I got everything :)Quote:

Pre Order items = Pre ORder...
Im not legacy (missed out with 14 days to obtain this angelic status) but own CE v1.0 and preorderd the PS3 game, registerd the pre order code for PC and played EA on PC. Last night I regged my PS3 code, so now I can play on both systems @ home. and got all the juicy items.. (except the special super duper Legacy angel mount ) -
08-28-2013, 06:07 PMKhalus
Well I don't know about you, but I got them!
Ya see I love Final Fantasy and I love Square-Enix so it was a no brainer to repurchase the CE to get the pre-order items!
Also, being Legacy havn't we already gotten enough? Have you not noticed that we get an additional discount for buying larger blocks of time too. I'm more than happy and Eorzea will certainly be my home for years to come... -
08-28-2013, 06:45 PMUber
I'm Legacy and I preordered it no problem from Gamestop and got my code. Of course I canceled my preorder once I was able to use the code but it wasn't hard all i did was put 5$ down and got the code.
-
08-28-2013, 06:53 PMMamba
I pre-ordered the PS3 version for myself and got the items but tbh... they are not even that great.
The cait sith minion is pleeh (not fan of minions anyway) and the mog cap is just silly and useless. You get enough exp below 10 anyway.
So don't worry, you have not missed anything. -
08-28-2013, 07:56 PMZeno-Ira
Strange i got all CE items, and got mog cap/caith sith from EA code.
Bought ARR CE PC & Ps3 standard. Havent used game-codes (both still sealed) and have all goodies.. -
