FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Purchase Questions

[Sorbet]

Does anyone know how to check if you've entered in your Collector's Edition registration code?

You can check the Square Enix account management page to see if you registered an onion helm code, unless you purchased/received it from a third party. Other than that, I've seen no way to differentiate.

Oh I know I automatically receive the digital CE items / game dlownload as a 1.0 CE holder, what I am looking for is the Physical items. Soundtrack, Art, Seventh Era Disc, and Art Cards, and possibly the box art. Without needing to repurchase everything =)

If you want the physical items you have to pay the full price for it.

Right now I have the standard version of the game. What I want to know is.. If I purchase the physical PC CE (for the physical swag) will I be able to use the registration code that came with it as the digital upgrade or would I have to purchase the PC CE as well as the digital upgrade to get both my physical and digital swag? It's just that this whole digital upgrade thing doesn't really specify if you can use a registration code from the physical CE or not kind of confusing.

Pretty sure you can; the item codes are separate from the game registration code iirc~

So I read this thread completely but I still unsure about the CE for the PC. Can someone let me know if the physical CE for the PC is going to be sold at other retailers? I always order any of my game from Amazon but all they have is just the digital CE for the PC. The sooner I can find out, the quicker I can go ahead and get my PO in.

you can just use the item code for your account and use the other FFXIV code for a second account or give it to a friend.

I know the 1.0 CE gets upgraded basically for ARR, but do 1.0 CE holders get the early access as well, or do we need to preorder another copy for that?

Also, when I do attempt to preorder from the website, nothing happens. It just refreshes the page perpetually (the billing page), without stating that there's an error.

Only Legacy and Pre-order get early access but remember all 1.0 account holder get to play beta4 which is even early access lol.

For those who thought, they simply could add the 2.0 CE Item Codes to their Standard 1.0 Account:

The German Rep Sasunaich created a FAQ thread which contains a passage about adding 2.0 CE codes to a Standard 1.0 account. At first it was said that this would be possible, but there is an update about this in the FAQ thread.

(Please note that I translated this passage by myself and I hope I got the message right.)

Q: Are 1.0 players who buy the ARR CE able to use the bonuses on their 1.0 account?
A: Legacy players need to use the digital Upgrade-Service, if they want to assign the bonuses of the ARR CE to their 1.0 account.
Legacy players, who bought the 1.0 CE, do not need to do anything, but it is helpful to use the code of the Onion Helmet.

I am going to purchase the 2.0 CE, but if I get this all right, this means I can't use the included item codes on my 1.0 account because it got Legacy status. So actually I have to pay again for these items even though I already got the codes in my CE ...?
Since my account used to be a buddy pass from a 1.0 CE I kind of hope that it is seen as an 1.0 CE account /sigh
