Questions regarding Stormblood Pre-orders or Collector's Edition

[Pomelo]

Looking at the information for the Stormblood preorder on the PSN, I saw a line that reads: "Online multiplayer requires a Playstation PLus membership."


Is this a goof on Sony's part or is this a change in policy for PS4 users? Please clarify.

I literally cant find SB on the PSN store?

$200 for a CE is way overpriced. The price of each new CE keeps getting higher and higher. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the 1.0 CE just $75 or $65? What makes this one so expensive? The cloth Eorzea map? It should have gold threading for that price.

Embrace your wallets for EB Australia to charge you around about......$400...

I'm basing this on the assumption that the FFXV UCE was $250USD and when EB Australia had copies they charged about $450AUD for it.

I'm living in New Zealand so I will be purchasing it from somewhere here hopefully. EB Games New Zealand only sold their's as an Online Sale to EB Members and only had a limited number left for those outside of it. Ending up purchasing it from Mighty Ape for $399NZD at the end of it all.

The statue what is making it cost so much and it just molded plastic so sure it can't be that high of quality.

Do we get pre order bonus from ordering off of Amazon?
It doesn't say anything about the bonus.

[Dresdel]

As of right now there is not (going by amazon.com). You could simply order the digital CE from the SE store though if you're just going to upgrade via the mogstation anyway.

Ive got some credit on amazon, so it would actually save me money to upgrade. Otherwise I would buy it from SE

Even Heavensward wasn't this expensive. It was like, 140-150 dollars. with the dragon statue.
(I would know, I have it in storage here). SE really needs to stop overpricing. I have only 700 dollars to work with due to me being on Social Security. And this includes bills/food per month. I mean, they get hundreds of thousand dollars per month/6 months etc, they shouldn't be charging so much for a CE. Be it Physical or digital.

Also, legit question here. Is it possible to do monthly payments on the 200 dollars? Spread it out so we don't have to pay for the entirety of it? It would help a lot for a lot of players. Not to be so stressed out due to them actually having real life expenses and needing to work around them for the 200 physical copy. And SE would sitll get alll of a person's 200, but in increments. 40-50 dollars per month til the entire 200 would be reasonable.

The PlayStation Plus mention is there due to the store template, where online games automatically mention that PlayStation Plus is required. We'll work with Sony to get this updated.

PlayStation Plus is not required for FINAL FANTASY XIV.

Thanks for the reply!
