I was thinking about buying the CE online

[Kirito]

I just received the CE it's so cool! The security token is a nice addition...

[Shougun]

Really it only spiked to just below the initial price so it's not really a spike...

Going from original price to 90% of that back to original price is quite a considerable feat. Though what probably helped was the fact SE told all the game resellers to burn their copies of the old version lol. (Seriously damaging the supply)

I really hope to see some Dev/Rep feedback on if the standard editions can upgrade to ARR CE. Or if they are going to do like the first time and the standard and CE have different bonuses - then I guess thats fair.

Would be nice for the CE then to be able to 'upgrade' for standard bonuses as well. Can sell the complete edition to completely new people (ARR CE and ARR Standard bonuses packed in one) too.

Though for us.. really hope for a smaller fee unless they are going to ship the whole new box.

I love my CE and wouldn't upgrade it <.< Well maybe if it was just the game disc we had to send in or something lol

And yah, what Shougun says is what I was gettin' at. The Standard Edition was running for super cheap there for awhile, even when the game was announced to be going offline. Then the prices spiked >_< I keep wanting to kick myself for not buying one when they were dirt cheap. Ah well, maybe when my finances recover from the holiday season I'll buy one.

Quote too long gone for me to go find but you are getting the digital equivelent of whatever you purchased initially, so those new digital items included - no need to send in your disc or send in anything.

Was just really hoping that Standard players can upgrade to obtain ARR CE items, and that 1.0 CE can upgrade to obtain standard items.

(Like in 1.0 CE got a helm and standard got goggles)

Ya I don't mind the digital equivalent, but if they were to ask me to surrender anything from my CE I'd be like "nuh"! XD

The only reason I want the standard ed. is for the goggles. I know I can't have them on my main becuase of how their system works, but I planned to reroll a new chara to try ARR fresh :3

In ARR you will be able to claim all awaiting prizes. Beyond the obvious annoyance it created for 1.0 they had to do this because in ARR you will get the digital items but how do you apply them without starting over? :P lol

So there is going to be some sort of /claim command (or npc).

[Vilhem]

God I hope so. I loved that from XI, you entered your code and then you go and pick it up on a moogle. Only drawback was you were limited to one character.

I may just drop money on one next month, incase they spike even more when they try to confuse buyers by saying "Buy the game its almost out (again)!"

Well actually since we will have the ability to "remake" our character I imagine they will give us the ability to get new items from codes that we input... Especially since they will probably offer new items from the codes... Also if your inventory was full then they could just move it to the special inventory all items past 100 go... Now that I have both the CE and regular I hope they allow me to get both new items...

Second I've never heard of company ask you to surrender the older version for an upgrade... it wouldn't make much sense to do so since they would have to pay for the the disposal of the traded item... I would imagine that they would have the option to purchase the upgrade in the square enix management system (like with the security token) for anyone that has registered there onion helm since that would mean you have the collectors edition in possession unless the service account for CE is different than the Standard Edition (I wouldn't know since I can't register my CE codes till ARR gets released)

Just as a note having the CE codes are such a tease since I can't input them T_T And the right passage voucher has expired...

[NintenPyjak64]

Thinking about it... I don't think I ever seen the code for the goggles when I bought my FF14. Maybe it was because I bought it in May of 2012, or Amazon derped, I honestly dunno

[Holy_Dragoon]

Ah, I forgot about the Ebay option for a moment. In that case, enjoy your CE! There's a good chance some of the goodies will not be available in the 2.0 CE, as they will have new ones.
