Encyclopedia Eorzea -- Still Waiting

[Teraluna]

Have you checked your order's status to see if it's listed as shipped? Or contacted support for the website? If I'm recalling correctly, they sold out of the first printing of the book very quickly, so most website orders are waiting on the second printing.

What I'd really like to know is whether or not the second print edition will fix the numerous errors present in the first edition. I'm dying to get my hands on all that juicy lore, but I'd far prefer to wait for the most correct version possible.

'numerous errors' doesn't sound good at all. Are they going to replace the first print editions with corrected ones?

I think that's a bit exaggerated. Sure, there's a handful of minor factual errors, but it's not large enough to warrant replacements and that would cost Square money to replace all the first print books.

I ordered Day 1 and have been charged, but I have not had mine shipped.

This is incredibly frustrating.

If a fourteen-page topic of error reports ranging from minor typos to completely wrong information is an exaggeration in your book, I suppose. Along with several official posts from Koji himself explaining that the book was edited under a severe time-crunch and a lot of errors made it through the QC process. He also took the time to clear up some of the more confusing mistakes in those posts, which was pretty awesome of him.

No mention of replacing the erroneous editions has been made, and it's highly unlikely to happen. First editions are more valuable because of issues like these, though, so it's not all bad?

I seen that thread, yes. I don't think the mistakes alone would warrant a "recall" and, as you said, this sort of stuff is valuable to others so it balances out. Now maybe if the entire book had errors everywhere or had some other huuuuuuge goof, then perhaps a recall would suffice.

I did as well. It also switched to "shipped" nearly immediately. I believe the delay is just on second printing, they did give us a vague date, but it is SE the land where nothing ever happens when they say it will lol frankly I will be happy if I get my before xmas. SE knows ppl will grumble, but in the end still pay so their garden of *&$^@ lays fallow.

I paid for mine on the waiting list and it also said shipped a day after.

The day they went on sale, I got home (from work) a few hours after they sold out. I got on the email waiting list, and when I got an email saying more were available, I went and ordered one.

I forget when I got it, but it was a few weeks ago. I should note though, that it did NOT include any sort of code redeemable for a minion or anything of that sort.

I'm in Tampa, Florida if that matters any.

Pretty sure the minion code comes on an insert in the actual book, so no worries there.

I ordered mine on Halloween, so I kinda figured it was a part of the second printing of the book. Hopefully it ships soon, if only to mean that it's one less thing to wait for.
