Encyclopedia Eorzea -- Still Waiting

[Aronys]

The minion code comes on a leaflet which is inserted into the book. It's the same as the art books. (source: I have the art books and the lore book)

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?

This is true, bugs and issues in first editions are common, and nothing to be angry or demand refunds over. Those inconsistencies make the book more valuable and represent the original transcript of the book, and show how human editors are.

I checked the store, and the status is "Shipped." I don't know when it changed to "Shipped," but it should hopefully arrive before the end of this year. I had to double- and triple-check my address info to make sure I didn't mistype anything. Thankfully it's all there.

I also read that, ignoring the blatant errors the book has, the book is considered to be written in character from an NPC in game and they have their own bais and whatnot. You could say the errors are also a part of the charm, if unintentional.

Not to burst your bubble, but -

Mine has been on status "shipped" for more than 3 weeks now and, when I contacted them about it, they said they change the status to shipped just as a sort of confirmation, they haven't actually sent the book out yet. The status "shipped" doesn't mean it's actually shipped. It's only actually sent out once you get an Email with tracking. Basically, your status just means that they'll ship it whenever they actually have something to ship to you.

Who knows when that will be.

I like to imagine its the Koji equivalent of the wandering minstrel

I contacted the SE store customer support last night about my order and they confirmed that those of us who are in the second print for NA will have ours shipped around the beginning of December. We'll get e-mails with the tracking number once it has been sent out.
