Physical Heavensward Collector's Edition Availability

[Lexia]

I don't see why they wouldn't be available elsewhere. I had ordered my digital CE of ARR via Gamestop, it wouldn't make sense if that were to change for the expansion.

Now if there was confirmation of what their prices will be outside of Japan...

Digital CE and physical CE are different. The physical CE are usually only available from SE official online store.

AAR CE physical was on amazon and game stop i dont see why heavensward would not be the same

for some countries, we cannot order on Amazon they wont deliver in said country....not even in amazon of other zones !

so hopefully I can have it on teh SE site but I doubt..for some of us in Europe is just not possible...bah

They only make a set number of collectors editions. Some times I think they make enough based on preorders but after a set time they stop accepting preorders of them and then sell more on release day.

So if you order in the first week of the 16th you should be garneted yours I think.

that's just a bad business practice they released the 1.0 collectors and the 2.0 one for preorder from retailers and not every one bothers with the online purchase because they want a garenty that they will get it on release day. So yes it will be available from gamestop and the like.

I really hope that it is not exclusively SE store, I have moved to another country and SE will not ship a NA version to the EU, I had this problem with ARR for PS3.

Well, if you go to http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/product/#_purchase, you can see their current retail locations. Admittedly that might change once they add the expansion product page, but I will keep my hopes up :3 (Change the eu in the beginning of the url to na if you prefer to see North American retail locations.)

Me and my flatmate bought one physical CE from a local retail location, and one digital CE (since we didn't need two of those things and we're unlikely to move apart for at least five or ten years more ^^) from SE's own online shop.

that hasnt been udated since before 2.0 sibce the original preprder bonuses are there

UPDATE: I just spoke with a GameStop Corporate Representative. The person looked through their database and was a bit dodgy at first saying things like "at this time we don't have it available but check back soon because we update our website frequently" when I asked more specifically "I know you don't have it now, but will it BECOME available to reserve on the 16th like Square-Enix has stated or will it only be available on their website?" The rep responded with "It looks like it will be available on their website only as we have nothing on our end for this, I'm sorry"--blah blah blah etc etc.

So unless that rep. is in the dark like the rest of us, it appears this item is in fact a S-E Online Store exclusive. Be ready for 12:01 March 16th, 2015! The day the SE Online Store Crashed.
