Falcon day today....

[Maero]

Ok so despite it not showing up in my account i did receive the mount yesterday.
It may very well be my new favourite mount

[ExKage]

So, a quick question.
I paid for a 90 day sub on June 27th.
I got the 15 days of extra playtime during the whole 'Recommended Servers' kerfuffle.
I currently (Sept 06 at time of writing) have 35 days remaining until I renew.
Does this mean I'm screwed out of the mount, as I'm not going to have a chance to renew for 90 days?
Or I have to wait 15 days more for the mount?

If you didn't get extra playtime, you would have been able to sub once your 90 days were done on September 25 (Sketchy on the exact date I haven't checked how days tick off). It was well enough time for you to be able get it once you renewed your sub.

With the extra playtime, you won't be able to renew your sub until AFTER September 30 and you will not get the mount because the cutoff for October 5 wave is end of September. The only way for you to get it is if you add playtime through the game time cards. You may not be able to get another chance at getting this as this was one of the ways they are doing away with the Veteran Rewards (and none of those were available by other means).

Yes. The 90 day requirement only starts counting from July 1st, with the first batch of mounts developed if you have at least three months left after August 30th. You should get the mount next month once you renew your sub.



Sounds like you just barely made the window because August has 31 days. If you renewed then, it counts three months since the first cut off period was August 31st at 11:59pm PDT.

im not entirely sure whats up, my sub ran out on august the 31st, i renewed it on the first of this month.
so technically i added 30 more days after the cutoff date to receive it the 5th of this month.


however it said something like "early access campagin reward - falcon mount" or something similiar, in the checlist of my rewards for about as long as i can remember, well over a few weeks ago

Literally, the cutoff date for the 5th of this month was the END of August? If you renewed it first of this month, you renewed it Sept 1 which is not in August.

Also, I've been checking every few weeks since the campaign was announced, I was eligible for the reward as soon as July 1 came as I had 164 days that counted. It never showed up as an item in there until the day of September 5. I even checked on September 4, it wasn't there. It shows as "Mount: Falcon" by the way.

I honestly feel the whole campaign is badly handled and not thought out in anyway. You have players who have kept their subs active yet becuase of when their sub renews they wont get the mount. SE is going to make it obtainable later most likely through the mog station for $20-$25 which is nothing but a middle finger too people who were subbed during the campaign but missed it cause of their renewal time. Should have been setup so that as long as your account was active during the event time you would get the mount not the way its set up now.

My renew dates are july 14th aug 14 sept 14 I wont get the mount and I am not shoveling extra money at SE for it.

I really hope they change how this works or scrap it entirely.

The only way I can see someone who keeps a recurring sub not getting the mount is if they got added free time such as Valcarde's case. The added free time is a pretty bad slip for SE to not notice when they made that part of the incentives for transferring / making new characters on the affected worlds. Everyone else just gets the mount on October 5th. The campaign has been up this entire time. If for some reason someone was affected (30-day sub and got 30 days for free for buying it), they would have seen the in-game notice. They had that opportunity.

Edit: You get the mount. On october 5. You're not going to miss getting the mount. You get it on October 5. Unless you got added free time like Valcarde.

Well now I am concerned again.
I last paid for my sub on the 8th June for 3 months, and I have the free playtime as I made and levelled characters on the new Omega server.
I will next be billed toward the end of september.
Am I going to need to go and buy a bunch of game time cards or will I be just scraping through by the skin of my teeth? The cut off is the end of september, so surely I will make it...?

didnt Yoshi say something like he would never add a motorcycle mount because he thought the speed would make it feel weird or something?

well the falcon mount is basically a motorcycle and it feels great to ride

Because mount speed got increased with Stormblood.

first payment was july 7, then aug 7, and coming up sep 7. So, yep, missed the campaign.

Idk why they just make these 90 sub day campaigns 4 months long instead of 3, that way everyone gets the reward at the same time.

july 7th 30 days + aug 7th 30 days + sep 7th 30 days = 90 days within july 1st - oct 1st, with the mount at oct 5th
