I think I screwed myself

Edit: 1.0 Regular isn't compatible with CE codes, period, game over end of story. So I guess I'll just end up with an extra CE game code that won't get any use then.

You have to upgrade the 1.0 account to CE on Mog Station to get the ingame items.

Each new game purchase creates a separate service account. The CE service account will have the ingame items, the 1.0 standard account will not. If you want the CE items on a standard account you have to upgrade it.

Hope that answers your questions!

I'm not understanding your originally post very well, so hopefully the following helps:

1) If you have a 1.0 standard edition service, you can't add a PC CE onto it. If you want to turn the standard edition into a CE, you must either buy the digital upgrade or apply a PS3 CE account to it. This is because the CE is tied to the game activation key (unlike the preorder code, which is an addon key).

2) If you have a 1.0 CE service, you will automatically receive 2.0 digital items. If you want to play on the PS3, you can apply either SE or CE to your existing account (though why you would want to apply CE to an existing CE is beyond me).

3) If you want preorder items + early access to your 1.0 service, you can add the preorder code from EITHER PC or PS3 editions to your existing service.

i don't know if i getting right but for what i understand

your wife has a 1.0 SE account
you have 1.0 CE account.

so you buy a new pc download FFXIV: ARR CE for your wife to apply to her 1.0 SE account. here is the first fail 1.0 SE account can only be upgrade to ARR CE buy service after game launch or using a PS3 CE code, so the PC CE code will create a new ARR CE account service

you buy a PS3 CE and apply that code to your 1.0 CE account. here is the second fail because your 1.0 CE account not need upgrade, all 1.0 CE will get the ARR CE item at launch, so you overwrite you 1.0 CE status with the PS3 ARR CE status

sadly i think you are right you have screwed yourself

Does that mean that my wife will still get her CE items since she bought the ARR PC CE but had the regular 1.0 just by going to the mog station and upgrading? Is that free since she bought the CE or will we have to pay for the items again?

She will get the items, but Only on the CE account. Not on the standard account.

Each purchased product has a product number. CE numbers are the product number. So now she has two service accounts: one is a Standard the other is a collectors. The characters she created on the standard service account will not get the CE ingame items. The characters created on the new Collector's service account will.

If you want the characters on the standard account to get the Collector's items, you will need to purchase an upgrade of that service account when the mog station website becomes available.

@ HiirNoivl,

You seem to know what is going on with account information for early access and launch. Have you seen any information that confirms that you do not need to register a payment method before early access?

Will all players be required to sign up for a payment method on the 27th?

Mog Station will allow you to register your payment options at launch. Mog station won't be available until after launch. That much I do know.

You will need a credit card before they start charging or else you'll no longer have access to the game.

But that's all I know. Sorry! ^_^

Same for me except I chose the former hope I'm ok..

This should be resolved with SE. Try contacting their support staff. You've paid for the items, it is only just that you get them.
