90 day subscription items already in game?

You can also do the 90 days in mog station

Yes. You can, BUT, you won't get the items until the free trial has passed. While with game cards you get them right away.

Not if you're in North America. As posted above via the dev response, ultimate time cards in North America convert to Crysta, and crysta cannot be applied to your ffxiv sub until AFTER all free time is used up. This means that there is no way, if you live in NA, to get veteran items until your free time is up and you can actually apply the days to your account. If you look on the crysta subscription section of the account page, it will confirm this. It's all very confusing but I'm at least glad that we have an official response.

EU gamecards/accounts only

NA gamecards will not give you time they will give you crysta to use on time, but you still need to wait till the Free Trial Period ends like the rest of us
