Questions regarding Stormblood Pre-orders or Collector's Edition

This is what it says on my preorder email "You will then be shown your early access code that you need to redeem on either the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station (Windows/Mac) or the PlayStation Network (PlayStation 4). A copy of this early access code will also be emailed to you. You can also log in to the site at any time to review your pre-order code(s)."

Well I haven't gotten a pre order email from anything. At all. Only an email confirming my payment for the Stormblood CE on the Playstation Store. So I guess I wait then?

I remember there being something you had to do to see the code with the CE for the Playstation but I can't recall it if you still have your instructions from your copy of Heavensward check it out and see what it says.

Sadly I didn't buy the digital CE for Heavensward last time so the instructions I had I don't believe will help me this time. That being said I did notice that the game say that I can download it in 139 days from now which is the 14th, 2 days before the early access date. Wondering if it is all just bundled together upon purchase and when the 14th comes and it is downloaded, all the stuff would go on mog station. I don't know though. Having some Dev help would be nice but I can wait.

The instructions Krytos listed sound like the instructions for how to register a physical copy of the game. For console players, if you order the physical box (either from SE or a third party retailer), then there are codes you have to add to the PSN in order to tell Sony that you bought it (or ordered it in the case of the preorder code). But if you buy the digital version directly from the PSN, you don't need to tell them you bought it. They already know about the purchase, so it should be applied to your account automatically, without any codes involved.

(This also means if you have multiple PSN accounts or subaccounts, you need to be sure you're on the right one, the one that your FFXIV account is associated with, when you purchase the game from the PlayStation Store. The account you buy it from is automatically the account it's registered to.)

So we aren't going to get a code if you bought it directly from the PSN store? Does that mean we don't need to enter it on the early access website either? I've never pre-ordered an expansion before (I started after HW was released) so I, like many others it seems, are confused and just want to make sure that everything will work out the way it is supposed to.

Make sure you make your purchase on same PSN linked to your SE account and you dont need to redeem any codes.

Correct. When it comes to PlayStation Network purchases, all of that (pre-order bonuses entitlement, ability to play at release, etc.) is done as part of the purchase and requires no code redemption on the part of the user.
