When will digital download be available for PS4?

I should clarify, Ps4 users who buy the DIGITAL version do not require a code.

Source: I have a jp account and already bought and downloaded HW. The description stated it would become accessible on the 19th.

This only works if you already have ARR installed, and does not apply if you are buying the ARR/HW combo.

It just won't happen.

There's a first time for everything.

Oh I get it, so what you're trying to say is as soon as you buy the digital HW you're able to download the client for it and hence just start up the client on day one of early access and play it?

Sounds like that could be it.

If I recall back with the FFXIV PS4 launch, thats exactly how it was. We pre-downloaded FFXIV and started when it was PS4 early access.

That's cool, but SE need to tell us why only JP have been given access to the download?

Yeah that's what I think she meant. Btw Seida, what's the game's size?

Edit: seems like the JP HW artwork and name have been changed

Now listed as [Advance Purchase] Final Fantasy XIV online and it seems like digital doesn't offer early access:
<Notes>
※ This product is a pre-purchase rather than a reservation. Since it is immediately settlement, please note.
※ You can download the game data in advance, but the service start will be around 18:00 June 23 is the Release Date.

Because both Sony and Square Enix are Japanese based companies. They get everything first lol.
Maybe they need time to translate everything
