Please let NA players redeem Veteran Rewards.

Currently there is no way to get Veteran Rewards as an NA player since game cards do not exist here.

This means the only way to get Veteran Rewards is to wait until the current free time period is up and then to purchase time afterward.

I want to go ahead and pay for the time now so I can receive my Veteran Rewards but there is no option to do so. Please allow us to go ahead and give you money SE. ; ;

bumping thread

SE don't really reply on your forums so I'm afraid you're waiting for an answer that is unlikely to come. You could try contacting support, but it would appear we'll just have to wait for our free time to run out.

If they wanted to take our money early, they probably could, but (and this is just a guess) they probably won't want to do that because some people would call them crooks for taking money before it's needed and that's another headache they don't want.

Gamecard people get it straight away because they've already "paid" so that service needs to be added. Sorry I didn't have a better reply for you :(

You can't buy time through the mogstation?

There is a reason why its called "Veteran Rewards"... Be patience and you will get them eventually, like the rest of the players.

get a crystal dude.. easy , affordable and what you complain?

Get a what?

NA players can not redeem anything at the minute because nothing can be applied to your account until free time runs out. Game cards do not exist in NA.

I think they meant Crysta, but with the current way Mogstation is I haven't found how Crysta can be applied to our accounts

I feel the same way.

You must be doing something wrong.

I had no trouble setting up a 6 month sub off my debit card 12 hours before release.
And its gotten less broken since then.

really if u read it ... it says u will get ur items upon purcheseing the time not time played it even sayd that

The only issue is that we can't subscribe for xx days until our subscription renews. The only way some people have redeemed veteran rewards is by buying cards for FFXIV game time, which isn't an option for NA yet, which forces your sub to last xxx days. As of now, paying for time this way actually seems more expensive than the monthly subscription--especially if you're on a legacy account.

You're asking the wrong question--what you want isn't for SE to "let you redeem" your rewards, what you want is that they hurry and push pre-paid cards into stores.

Crysta is an automatic payment option. Just like automatically billing your credit/debit card every 30/60/90/180 days, it will automatically deduct from your Crysta every 30/60/90/180 days.

The issue is that we can not purchase game time until our current free game time runs out. If you managed to purchase it before you had free game time, good for you.

Funny that your character has no veteran rewards on it though.

My question is still valid. There should be an option to go ahead and prepay the time rather than having to wait for your current time to run out in order to do so.

Why? I can't pay my credit card before I charge something, and my utility companies return payment if you have a zero balance. Why should SE be any different?

Patience young Padawan.
The anticipation is always more wondrous than the event itself.

Why rush to unbox a pile of fuzzies you'll only look at once. When the real reward is the generously discounted price?

Please let us extend or subscription, it's silly that we can't extend our subscription just because we are currently have active subscription. Thanks to this now I have to wait next month till I can claim the veteran rewards. Look at some of us who have both PC and PS3 version, they have 60 days free game time, and they won't be able to claim any vet rewards until this two months period ends. I hope there's game time card in NA, but that seems not gonna happen anytime.

There's Game Time Card from UGC but that thing doesn't add game time to your account, only Crysta to your account that will not be charged UNTIL the current subscription ends, what the heck we're supposed to do with all the crystas laying around in My Account that can't be used.

Just want the Fantasia vial,

I kinda wanna be a Lalafell on my main now but in all honesty with the BS SE has going on nowadays, I think I will wait to redeem it.
EU got their rewards though.

Seriously, first world problems. What is it to you if you get it 2 days later or a week later? None of the rewards grant you any progression in the game, and there's no race (last I checked) to get everything that the game has to offer. Go outside and enjoy life while you're still alive.

I am an NA player and have received my one month Veteran Reward.

How's that? Buy a time card through Game.co.uk or something?

Do you know that some of us that have the PS3 and PC version of the game has to wait 30 days + 30 days + 7 days, 2 months and a week?
For NA 2.0's who want a Phial, it's been pretty frustrating seeing everyone else take their slice before you.*
-EU's got them with time cards
-They were freely handed out to 1.0's
-1.0 subscription charges

Please tell me how D:

I understand if people are using credit card/debit card for their subscription. They haven't payed for any time yet and so can't get the veteran rewards. Skipping the trial period is another subject.

The issue I have is with crysta. The whole reasoning behind why game time cards give you time immediately, that adds to any current time, is that you already payed for the card. You already paid for that game time when you bought the card. What about crysta? People who bought crysta have already payed for that and should be able to apply it directly to our game time. Why should someone have to wait until the end of the free trial (even though it isn't "free" since you still bought the game for it) to have game time they already payed for.

The Veteran Rewards are supposed to be rewarded not for time played but for time paid. If someone has already paid for crysta and intends to use it for their subscription, they should already have the veteran rewards.

Because crysta =/= game time. Crysta is currency, just like USD, which could be used for something other than FFXIV time.

Buying crysta is just like converting your USD into yen; you can pay for FFXIV with yen, but it's no different than paying with USD--the "money" is still in your possession until the subscription bills.

None of the items from vet rewards are actually of any use besides cosmetics/vanity--what's the point?

But Crysta = game time if I decide to use Crysta to pay for a subscription. I have already payed for that Crysta, the same you would pay for a game time card; if I choose to apply that Crysta towards a subscription, the Crysta should be deducted and time should be added immediately. I should not be required to wait for the Crysta to be deducted and for time to be added when I have already payed money for the time I want to gain.

and no, the "money" is not in my possession at all. I have already spent money on the Crysta which can only be used through SE. I can't go to Sears, Best Buy or some other store and buy something with Crysta.

You did not buy game time; you "bought" crysta, which is simply another kind of currency. You're right, Sears, Best Buy and other stores don't accept crysta. You're also right that it's proprietary. However, it's still just another form of currency that SE accepts.

Seriously, can't you just enjoy your free trial without an ahriman or fantasia, and with only two colors of swimsuit? o_0

So say my free time ends Oct 6th, I use Crysta for the first months sub, do I get the vet rewards Oct 7th or Nov 7th when my first month is due?

It will be on the day that the time is applied to your account. If you subscribe for 180 days, you will get all ranks of vet rewards on the day the charge goes through. :)
