Where's My Falcon?

[Rinuko]

I have 180 day automatic renewal ( has been in effect since Ver1.2x without interruption) and the Mog Station doesn't show me as receiving one. At this point I would prefer if they didn't send me one as I will probably discard it in pure disgust.

You sound pretty entitled. I mean this is a campaign for subbing for a game, free stuff

[worldofneil]

SE said that you can check under VETERAN REWARDS or w/e its called in mog station if you GOING to get it

The exact wording they use is:

The item will be added into the "View Additional items" section after the campaign's launch when it becomes available. Please note that it might not be reflected immediately, despite meeting campaign eligibility.

The exact wording they use is:

yea i read it, hence i said there is so much confusion about it. dont mention there can be or cant be something written down somewhere about eligibility if u cant program it or something. it will only make ppl confused/upset ><

im just gonna sit and wait till 5th of October. if nothing then...ooo boy :P

The fine print wording isn't great, which is what I think is tripping up most people.
http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/mount_campaign_2017/

1)
In large print "Subscribe for at least 90 days of play time (excluding free play periods)"
in fine print "The initial free play period included with new product registrations, the free login period from the Callback Campaign, and the free play period granted for moving to New/Preferred Worlds do not count toward the 90 day requirement."

The latter, "moving to New/Preferred Worlds" free game time wasn't the bonus. It was "Character Creation Bonuses on a New/Preferred Worlds"
which is a fairly big difference in words, that's like saying moving your main character oppose to making an alt character.

But whatever, we can infer that they meant "Any free play period including but not limited to new product registrations, free login period, or free game time rewards do not count towards the 90 day requirement."

2)
The other one that trips people up;
"If you have remaining subscription time that was purchased before the campaign period, or you have an active recurring subscription, we will calculate any remaining game time available as of Saturday, July 1, towards the campaign."

First let's define "game time", which isn't covered in the article.
The "game time" means "remaining days" listed on your account status whether in-game or on the mogstation account services information.

This rule is probably covers the most edge case condition assuming we're understanding it correctly.
It was meant to cover any large subscriptions, that is the 180 days subscription. If someone purchased a 180 days subscription let's say 30 days before the campaign even started, that'll count towards the Falcon Mount.

But, anything smaller, that is all the other current subscription plans, the "remaining days" won't make a much of a difference in your purchase.
As noted on worldofneil's post; http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post4409124

The possible subscription times you can have are;
30, 60 (from game time cards), 90, and 180 days.

With smaller subscriptions, you're trying to fit a 90 days or more in a 92 days campaign window. So the "remaining days" is only useful if you had more than 30 days remaining at the start of July 1st.

That is the edge cases for this is, if you were just buying "60 days" or "90 days" option, and if less than 30 days remaining starting July 1st, then you'll have to purchase a cumulative of "90 days" options either way between July 1st to Sept 30th.
Obviously if you were buying "30 days" options before July 1st, then any remaining days will be less than 30. This would be meaningless because you'll still need to purchase a cumulative of "90 days" between July 1st to Sept 30th.

If you're scratching your head at this point, yeah... I know it's a bit hard to visualize.
So here's a picture. Green is 30days, Yellow is 60 days, Blue is 90 days.

Sidenote... I remember that SE had a visual image like this somewhere before for another event, but can't find it. So I made one instead...



3)
There's also another edge case where a subscriber can prevent themselves from participating in this event, which isn't mentioned on the event page.
That is, if they buy a 30-day subscription between Sept 1st to Sept 30th, AND still hasn't satisfy the conditions to earn the Falcon Mount from said purchase. Then they've just locked themselves out of it.

Due to the fact that you can't "buy" another subscription to your account until the 30-day subscription has ended.

A work around might be "Game Time Card"... Assuming if it actually adds to the "remaining days" oppose to kicking into effect after subscription ends.

Its now the 5th of October in Japan and I still didn't get this mount I'm really upset by this. So i guess i will have to buy it on the mog station when it appears.

It tends to lean towards pdt and not always right at midnight so wait until tomorrow passes in north america and then check. If you should have qualified and didn't get it after that point, contact support.

Anyone get one in this last batch of falcon mount ?

[Joe777]

For the next 2 minutes where I am it is still the 4th so I'm not expecting it yet.

[Rostum]

Hmm, I'm on a recurring subscription. Looks like I was charged for 180 days on the 27th September. Still no sign of this mount.

[Ketsufuma]

i was charged for another 90 days back on sept 21st.

i am still awaiting mine but ill give it a few more hours before i try to contact support/gms
