Heavensward CE preorders not being released in AUS???

[kirk]

So does this mean Canada still gets screwed from pre ordering from eb/bestbuy? If so that's just messed up >_<

[reillyblair]

thank the gods for that now to find the funds for this lol

Thought I'd let everyone know, I went into my local EB Games on Tuesday and was able to pre-order this game. I've since looked online under "my preorders" and it says I've preordered "Type-O". I called the store up and asked to have it changed to FFXIV Collectors Edition (Heavensward) and was told that they're sold out in every single store nation wide...

Not sure if there's confusion about Heavensward, Type-0 or not... But it seems likely...

UPDATE: So I called EB Customer Support, from today they can take preorders for the game but they don't know if they're getting the collectors, standard or ARR+Heavensward so all we can do is put a preorder on the game itself. Then we have to check in later to confirm what's available...

Sounds like EB games is being derpy. They're sold out of the CE for Type-0, and it sounds like that's what they think you're talking about.

They haven't got Heavensward up on their website at all, so most employees wouldn't even know of it's existence yet :P

Actually, they were derpy with that too. Supposedly they were sold out of the PS4 version (but had XBOne which I got worrying they'd sell out of it too), then the XBOne version (but the PS4 version was then available again), then both.

Greetings,

We can confirm that the physical (boxed) Collector's Edition will definitely be available at certain retailers (EB Games included) in Australia and New Zealand.
Please rest assured that we will share additional information on retailers and pre-order start dates when available.

Thank you for the confirmation (and the ending of a lot of panic in my FC xD)!

I realise you may not have all the information, but can we have a rough price for the boxed CE? I need to know how many plebeians I need to enslave to afford my tribute for Rome!

The digital collector's is up on our APAC SE site. I refused to give EB games money after their stupidity, how can they not even look at IGN or Kotaku at the very least since they bloody well work in a video game store? ><

Don't think we can get info from him...
It is up to the retailers -_-
