FFXIV: A Realm Reborn Launches August 27, 2013!

Bayohne, I hate to spread a bit of a damper on this otherwise wonderful news, but...

Is it intentional that EU players cannot order the physical copy of the game? The NA store has a clear difference between PS3, PC and digital, whereas the EU store only has the digital version available for pre-order.

Seeing the CE, I want the physical items very much, but as Australia is part of PAL = EU (?), I do not seem to have that option from an official SE source. Is this intentional?

The Square Enix Europe store will continue to add new options for FFXIV: ARR in the coming days (including the physical versions!) so please stay tuned! Alternatively, there are retailers that are currently taking pre-orders for those as well!

Is the CE (physical) going to be available outside the Square Enix store for NA? Nothing personal, but I would rather have it pre-ordered on Amazon or Gamestop.

Me too - don't see it available at either yet. :/

Gamestop just updated the links to the standard editions of the game. They'll probably have the CE available soon, along with other online retailers like Amazon.

Found them on the german GameStop website. But both versions got the same info text concerning Artbook, CD etc. which is why I don't know if I should preorder or not :S

Curiously, the AU/NZ box art refers to the standard edition as the "limited edition" and in the bottom right states that it "includes helm of light". For both PC & PS3 versions, on both EB & JB websites.

Meanwhile, am I the only one who prefers the NA cover?
