FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Purchase Questions

[JillyBean]

Amazon.com is still updating, but if you look hard enough you find this preorder option for ps3 CE http://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-...+14+collectors

Looking for them to list the physical CE for PC (NA).

Looking for them to list the physical CE for PC (NA).

Supposedly there was a press release to media outlets saying the pc CE physical edition is only available on SE site, this person says; Fusionx: The press release sent to media outlets-
Set for an August 27, 2013 release, FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn will be available for $39.99 on the PlayStation®3 system and $29.99 for Windows PC. The Collector's Edition will be available for $79.99 on the PlayStation®3 system and the PC version will be sold exclusively at the Square Enix Online Store for $69.99. A free 30-day trial is also included for new accounts. Monthly subscriptions for new accounts start at $12.99. PC specs for final product may change; please refer to the preorder website for details.
(But who knows without a doubt that's valid without a URL linking the source from that info, I wouldn't think that to be true, but as far as I know amazon doesn't have a physical pc CE no matter what I type in the search engine, just digital)

I sure would like a some type of official response on this from Camate ^^;

tl;dr ~

Will we be able to purchase/pre-order the physical copy of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Collector's Edition (PC) (NA) at Amazon and/or other U.S. retailers, or is it exclusive to the Square Enix Online Store?

For those who purchased the Windows Collector's Edition and just found out that the registration code can't be applied to your existing code -

Please go to this link on the LIVE Letter question thread http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...339#post997339

See if you like the posted question/suggestion, and then "like the question" and maybe we can get them to implement this and fix the situation for a lot of people.

Will current active account holders be able to download the digital copy official release client early?

Players Who Own the FFXIV version 1.0 Collector’s Edition
Players who own the FFXIV version 1.0 Collector’s Edition will receive the FFXIV: ARR Collector’s Edition in-game bonus items (Helm of Light, Baby Behemoth Minion, Behemoth Barding, and Coeurl Mount) for free. The in-game bonus items will be delivered via Moogle Letter when FFXIV: ARR launches.

So all of our characters get this stuff, right? Even new characters we make? Or is it just pre-existing characters? I only ask because of the below note on the upgrade...

Collector's Edition Digital Upgrade Service
The Collector's Edition digital upgrade offers customers the ability to upgrade their standard FFXIV account to Collector's Edition status via the “FFXIV Service Center” website that is scheduled to be opened at the launch of official service, which then grants the in-game bonus items included with the Collector's Edition. Customers in possession of the Collector's Edition for either version 1.0 or A Realm Reborn will receive these Collector's Edition items without needing to purchase the upgrade.
* Characters that have already been created will be able to receive the items.

Every character will get the items, I believe that bottom line note is because in 1.0 the in-game items you got when pre-ordering or from collectors would only be applied on new characters, any pre-made characters wouldn't get them.

For example in my case I had to send them a ticket and in the end I had to create a new character because I didn't applied the bonus items code before I made my character on the head start.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Amazon has yet to add the PC CE version, do they not? At first I feared they might be sold out, but how can they, when pre-orders has barely begun...
