Seven Eleven Japan Event - Exclusive items White Fat Chocobo and Maid/Butler Attires.

I'm wondering when they're going to give the official announcement too. It's so much like the JP promotion, just this sudden thing that there's a huge regional promotion going on with all kinds of region-locked items and no more than a "we're working on it" for the other regions. It would be nice to have a few more details on who will be eligible and how they're working on getting it to everyone, even if it's just a "yes it will be available for canada too" or "we're working on making sure it's accessible to Australians." The surprise element is gone by now, and it wasn't initially all that great of a surprise for those with non-JP accounts anyway.

I am glad they went with an online retailer for the NA promotion though, and I hope they do the same for EU. There's really no other way to get the items to everyone outside of the cash shop.

Official announcement will come tomorrow when it starts most likely.

The WORST case scenario, you can just buy a digital game from Amazon.com, you'll need an US billing address but it can be ANY address as long as it's US. I've done this before, but I used my amazon credit card, can't say for sure if it'll work with another credit card.

So if my parents have a condo in the US, I could put that address as the billing address? I guess that could work. I really wanted to use this promotion to buy a new mouse since mine is having problems but I'll live with it :/

This should work, yes. You just need to use an American address and it will let you download digital items or purchase codes.

I hope I'm not the only one checking lodestone every hour to see if there's updates lol. I won't be sleeping until I get my hands on this outfit! That being said, I hope I won't have to spend an entire night checking- or worse, spend an entire night checking and the promo doesn't go live until the afternoon.

Nope! You're not the only one. I'll definitely be going to sleep tonight, though. Hoping to see it up when I wake up in the morning.

So it seems reddit already has some information but there is one thing I hope a community manager can clarify for me. I read that if you try to order something using the same credit card/shipping address for more than one order you will be denied a code. My husband and I both play the game, obviously we live together, have separate SE accounts but share the same credit card. Are you telling me that only one of us can get the code?

You could purchase with a Prepaid Gift Card or an Amazon Giftcard and ship the item to a friend or relative's house. At least that's what I'd do if I were in such a situation.

You know..I didnt even think of that, lol thanks. I saw a few people on reddit saying that there's quite a few situations that rule would kinda mess with people. A friend of mine though sent me a picture of someone from Amazon support saying its ok to do more than one order with the same card so I dont know who to believe, was hoping SE would've announced it themselves by now.

You're welcome.

I still think it's better to play it safe than sorry and just get yourself a gift card for a separate account. Good luck.

How about just stop with promotions that are region specific and just make everyone who has an account eligible, regardless of where they live eh?

Guess I'll just go ahead an pre-order FFXV for my SO and I and at least get him the items since he has an NA account. Since I'm region locked out of the items (hey fellow EU players), guess I'll sell them on ebay or something and make some money.

Man it really sucks being locked out of every contest/event, promotions, having to hunt for retailers for expansions, etc. having an EU account and living in NA. But regardless, thanks SE! Simply love it.
