Heavensward CE preorders not being released in AUS???

[Zebyxus]

If I'd known this topic existed I wouldn't have just called out SE in the "Fix the Store" topic. Any idea when we can expect retailers to receive the info for the pre-orders? After speaking to EB Games they said they were specifically waiting on SE to give them that info.

They're not able to put up a listing for the product until they have definite confirmation from their supplier that they will be getting it in. It's the same for us at Mighty Ape. Only difference is that we've had confirmation of the base version already, and we're just waiting to hear back about the CE, which, after that rep post, we're sure we'll be hearing about in a few days time

I would advise against posting about the internal dealings of your work place, It's more than likely you have over stepped your boundary on what's allowed to be said as a person in your position. Stating you work for one of the retailers and possibly giving false hope to those wanting the Collector's Edition isn't a good look even if your not part of the department that's dealing with the buying side.

So, I just pre-ordered my first download from the Aussie SE online store: the Heavensward CE. Does anyone have any experience doing this sort of thing? How did this stuff work with FFXI expansions? Just curious what to expect. Will the expansion pack just be automatically added to my account and downloaded like a patch by the game on/before release day?

We already have a reply though.

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.

It's really just up to EB and other retailers to announce it on their sites.

my partner rang me this morning when opened the store..

eb games australia is taking preorders on standard editions nows but no CE edition is in there system as yet

edit - forgot to mention she said you could always preorder a standard edition n upgrade it to CE once its in the system aslong as its b4 the actual release date so they know how many to send to your store etc so its a start i guess mayb soon will have the CE in system since standard hasnt been til 2days

Lame. I guess I'll still wait until it gets put on their website.

I think I will do the same. Without a an actual listing I am still a bit skeptic to put down the money so far. Though I hope it won't be too long before it updates.

Another chat with EB Games: "Well that's news to us" in regards to the Community Team's response. I am highly tempted to contact SE in Sydney just to find out what the last ball and chain they need to lose is before they start letting us order the game we want.

Today 19/03/2015 when to my local EB game and ask about pre orders Final Fantasy XIV Heavensward he said only standard editions info in the system and I ask about collector's edition ,he said "if you put $50AUD as pre orders deposit you are automatic upgrade to collector's edition" and also when in to JB hi fi ask about collector's edition and exclusive to EB only.

for putting $50 as pre orders deposit on ,best is to make sure to call or go in the store when is on the system or eb website
