FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Purchase Questions

[Nix]

The pre-order code is separate, so yes, you would! You would also have a spare separate PC code with 30 days subscription that you could gift.

I was gettin all confuzzled with the whole having to order PS3 CE malarky haha

Thanks Mjollnir! /tea&biscuitsforyouuuuuuu

Here is a suggestion for the PC ARR CE code being unusable with 1.0 accounts:

Please consider adding some kind of feature to the digital upgrade service to let use the code provided in the PC ARR CE boxed or Digital download versions.

This whole having to buy the PS3 CE version or spending a extra 20$ for something that comes with the box doesn't make sense.

Please consider offering us the ability to simply get what we paid for.

The registration isn't open yet. They will notify us when it is time to put in our preorder codes

PERSON A has normal PC account, PERSON B has a CE PC account, PERSON B wants to play PS3. can PERSON B buy a ps3 CE and gift the Bonus items/codes to PERSON A rather than wasting them? or should he just buy the normal ps3 copy since it cant be done?

The CE items are tied to the account code; only the preorder codes are giftable in this way. So if PERSON B doesn't want the new physical CE items, they should get a standard PS3 edition.

If PERSON A wants the in-game CE items, they can upgrade online (later on). If PERSON A wants the physical items too, they should buy the PS3 CE (and as a side-effect, they'd be able to play on PS3 if they wanted to); bearing in mind that they'd have to initially register it on a PS3 (presumably the one PERSON B has).
^I'm sure you get this, was just repeating info for clarity.

So is it official, that the pre-order code is separate and applicable to any account? According to the official website, "Please note that the pre-order bonus codes are different for the Playstation 3 and Windows versions."

Let's say there are 2 legacy accounts. 1 of which was registered with the original collector's edition, the other was a regular copy.

Can I pre-order the PS3 collector's edition, link it to the account the regular account for the CE items, and gift the pre-order code to the account that had the original collector's edition? This way, both accounts get CE items, but the account that had the original collector's edition would have the pre-order items instead.

This is super retarded and I should be able to get a physical PC collector's edition (with all the goodies) and link it to my old non-collector's account. But apparently this is how it is and we just have to deal with it. :/ Come on, SE. We wanna give you money. Make this easy on us.

I can't answer that I only have the one account and one pre-order (I received my preorder code when I placed the preorder). Good luck in getting an answer!

Edit: thinking about it though, my Legacy account is "PC" and the preorder I placed is for a PS3 version ,so I must be able to apply the preorder code to my Legacy account, before my PS3 code, as the PS3 code will only come through ~27th August wit the physical copy (after early access).

I still want to know if a new subscriber that buys PC CE and PS standard and applies them to the same account gets 60 days game-time!

How do users who started 1.0 on a buddy pass get collectors edition? are they classed as standard users who will need to use the digital upgrade?

I have a question,

My account is EU region, My software is EU version, I bought the Pre-Order - Digital download of FFXIV-ARR from Amazon.com. I have received an Early Access code / Pre-Order In-game Item code, but I am asked to register the code on the North American version via na.square-enix.com. Ok, what!

Is the pre-order code from amazon.com region locked for NA only?

Pretty sure it is, unless you went to the UK Amazon site to order.
