Please Help - Trying To Buy Stormblood Digital DL

[Niwashi]

The game is region locked, but has only NA, EU, and JP regions. It sounds like yours is an EU account, in which case, you'd need an EU code for the expansion and wouldn't be able to use a NA code even if you got one.

I have no idea why you're having trouble logging into Square-Enix's EU store, though, nor why their sale wouldn't match between the different regions.

You could try just going to a third party retailer instead of SE directly. They won't have that particular 50% off sale, but Stormblood has been out long enough that they might have it cheaper than full price anyway. Just be sure that what you buy is for the right region. (If you get the game from a retailer, they'll give you a code which you then enter in the Mogstation to upgrade the account.)

Thank you for the reply.

I managed to be able to register on the EU store site. I guess since they put Australia with EU my trial account from years ago was flagged as EU. I also read that they do different sales for NA and EU, the EU one just past 1 month ago so I missed out. I was looking at third party sites, some are selling for around 50% off but there are always mixed reviews with people getting the wrong keys even when they select the right zone, getting steam ones, or simply not getting one at all.

Do you know of any other trusted sites to buy it off? That's why I usually like to buy it on the official site so there are less worries.

How often do they do sales? Do you think the EU store will have it 50% again before Shadowbringers? I guess it's either that or try get a physical copy at a shop, but I prefer digital download. I have no worries paying $20 for 2 months of Stormblood and pre-ording Shadowbringers if I am still having fun, but paying $40 for Stormblood is too much.
