Preorders up

[Maero]

Why such the rush to order, there is plenty of time, lol
I don't think they are available yet for us console folk. But have not really checked and was going to wait anyhow

Your confirmation email comes with a code and a link. You go to the site from the link, put in the code from the email and it will generate a code for the Mog Station. This will get you into EA.

If you got a digital edition, you will receive the code for the Expac around launch. If you ordered a physical edition you will get a code when it arrives. There will be a grace period for those who preordered and were in EA to receive their retail codes and enter them into the Mog Station.

The process for Steam may be a little different, I couldn't day since I didn't buy it there.

Your Shadowbringers registration code is what gives you the license for the game in mogstation and allows you to continue playing the expansion after Early Access ends. The shadowbringers registration key also provides your digital collectors edition items if you ordered the Collector's Edition.

The shadowbringers registration key and the Collector's Edition key are the same. It should not be confused with the 'PreOrder bonus items" code. That code is different. The preorder bonus code is the one you received from the SE store/STEAM when you preordered the game. You take that code and then have to convert it through SE's redemption site that then spits out your actual early access code which also gives your preorder bonus items as well as Early access. (Why must SE make this so convoluted lol)

Later when the expansion launches, your Collector's Edition/Shadowbringers registration key will become available on the SE store/STEAM. In the past, this code wasn't made available until around the day of actual release.

From the PSA thread, I think Steam just gives you the converted code for the preorder that can be used directly on the mog station (no need to go to the converter site) and the actual expansion/CE code which will be used later (may or may not be used directly on mog station).

How does the EA process work if you're buying it through the Playstation store?

If it works like it did with Stormblood preorders you are charged up front and you have no codes to enter. Everything is simply attached to your PSN account.

Not for the CE it's gone.

PC and Steam versions are both sold out at this point. I'm...kind of impressed in a way, I won't lie. Sometimes I wonder just how the game is doing. Obviously it's doing pretty well for itself.

Any idea how does the PS4 PSN digital collector's "code" work? I have preordered mine but haven't received any code to register onto account on mog station...

Me thinks I might sue the PSN.. again...

No, the PSN handles everything for you. You dont need to enter any codes if you are on PS4. The dev's stated this yesterday on another thread. one sec and I'll snag the source for further instructions.

Here you go, Direct from Community Team Rep Bayohne:

If you pre-order digitally on PlayStation™Store, you do not need any additional codes.
After you've pre-ordered, just launch FFXIV as normal and the game system will recognize the pre-order code, and ask you which service account (if you have multiple) you wish to tie it to. And you're set! The two in-game pre-order items (Aetheryte Earring and Baby Gremlin Minion) will start delivering (tentatively) on March 1st at 12:01am (PT)!

After the full game launches, the full Shadowbringers registration will work the same way (standard or Collector's Edition).
Launching the game after launch and it'll recognize on the back end that you need to tie your code to your service account. Easy peasy!

So, I'm really new to this.. I just bought Shadow Bringers but I don't own any other expacs.. do I get access to them now or do I not get them until Shadow Bringers comes out? It says on the site you get them if you buy this one..

You will get Heavensward and Stormblood with your purchase of Shadowbringers, but you cannot use them until that expansion is actually released (28th June). So you'll have to decide whether or not to wait just over 4 and a half months to get it included or to buy Stormblood now so you can get ready before Shadowbringers launches. There's a lot of MSQ in Stormblood you'll have to do either way, not so much that it'll take you 4 months, but it might not be fun being the guy playing the previous expansion/trying to queue for old dungeons when the majority of people are playing the new shiny expansion

This is actually a first for SE offering the expansions bundled in to the upcoming expansion for the same price

Second time actually as they already did this exactly same thing with Stormblood. Buying the latest expansion gets you the previous expansion(s). Going forward it looks like this is how it'll be for all future expansions as well.
