Any plans for the Cait Sith Doll to be available through other means?

Probably not. And technically, you didn't need to preoder one - my local EB Games store was virtually giving the vouchers away by the end - all you had to do was ask. And yes I preordered the game even though I was a 1.0 player and I was allowed to download it for free - I wanted to support ARR (plus I wanted all the goodies in the Collector's Edition, such as the soundtrack CD and artbook ).

So yeah, sadly I don't think SE will be bringing that offer back, like other short-term bonuses that have long since ended and are never returning, like the Hermes Shoes, the Asuran Armlets, Gobbuue Horns and the Legacy Campaign.

I was a 1.0 CE owner so I got all the 2.0 CE items. I also had already pre-ordered a copy for my brother so I couldn't afford to pay for yet another one on top of it. I think a pre-order bonus is a bit different too. Plenty of games have made pre-order bonuses only time exclusive content. I've even seen games that have made their collector's edition content available down the road for a price. Not that I'm asking for a cash shop here, I'm not. Please don't take it that way.

I guess the root of my problem here is that I wish I could obtain this again for the sake of completion. I wish I could obtain everything, even through hard work, because it bothers me extremely to know that I can never obtain everything and have completed everything no matter what I do. I just want to do and have everything in the game. Even if it means having to work myself to death for it. Okay, not to death, but you know what I mean!
