PSA: Stormblood Pre Order through PSN store

[Naberrie]

Wasn't there a pre-load for Heavensward though? I don't remember

I didn't do the pre-order for HW, so I can't say.

it wasnt. We were only able to download anything for 3.0 after the version check, the one that happens whenever we open up the launcher.

Hmm if that was the case with Heavensward, then it would stand to reason that it would be the same for Stormblood.

@ RaijinSupreme, i believe you are correct however for Heavansward i recall getting a theme like right away so there was no counter.
The SB theme is rather nice i must say

there was. you could dl the client the day before hw went live.

I just got off the phone with them and they said I should be fixed when psn updates later today.

They told me that yesterday too. They know they fucked up hard, and if i don't have SB coming the 16th, im pretty sure i won't be the only one cramming my fists up their asses that day.

yeah the theme was handled differently last time. we got it instantly. Im not sure why they waited this time. Maybe it wasn't ready by the time they put up the pre-orders, so they put it on a timer instead.

Looks like they fixed it. Now, it just shows it's unavailable for both the standard and digital CE edition because you already pre-ordered it.

Well at least its something. Might make people feel a little better and stop people from accidentally repurchasing.

so just to let everyone know, I just spoke with a sony rep and they pretty much blamed SE for all the problems going on right now. I was able to get the avatar but the theme is locked an prompts me to the psn to buy ARR. Even though they told me i have it registered something still fells off about the whole deal, hope all you have better luck then me.

So far, both my wife an I who purchased the digital SE for StormBlood have been able to make use of the avatar (ugly as home made sin) and the dynamic theme - which is wonderful and perfectly formed... All that is left now is to get the actual content downloaded. I suspect that a lot of the confusion may be caused by people getting CS reps to do stuff that muddies the waters.

The suggestion from Sony that it's all SE's fault doesn't really stand up to me because as far as I am aware, no licenses will be applied to SE accounts until we can actually launch the updated launcher.
