[pre-order] FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail collectors edition

[1313]

Nothing is stopping someone from spending the money to buy EW right now.
It would be quite silly to do so, but it's still an option.

It's not like they're gatekeeping the content beyond the normal purchase price.

It most certainly is silly to pay full price for an expansion that has 2-3 years of being current, just to have it become obsolete in less than 2 months. I'd buy it for like, $10. Either way, the fact remains that it's now a pre-purchase and should be treated accordingly.

(I wonder if i can even cancel it now, since I bought it through steam...)

Isn't really that weird though, taking ESO as an example. Necrom has been out for almost 1y with a new expansion around the corner and still runs $40-50 for something comparable to what buying Endwalker gives us now. I don't think time existing bears much relevance anymore compared to if it's considered "new" or not. Even though Endwalker has been out for years, it's still the newest piece of content in 14 until Dawntrail comes out so it has somewhat of a reason to still be higher priced. Meanwhile the Starter Edition for 14 comes with ARR-StB for $20, priced lower because all 3 are ancient content by now so it doesn't make sense to price it higher. Going back to ESO as an example, the Morrowind expansion now costs $8 as it is also ancient content.
