Can I still get the Dalamud minion?

[Nikita]

I'm not sure how limited the first run of the CD is/was, but the minion is limited to the initial print run.

As part of the initial print run, purchasers will also receive a code that they can redeem to unlock an exclusive minion – Wind-Up Dalamud. Please note that you will receive the Wind-Up Dalamud minion once FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn has launched. The bonus code must be redeemed by December 31, 2014.

Before Meteor is a super soundtrack - granted it is a bit more expensive than normal but you do get 104 tracks plus the HD version of the of the video to "Answers" which is really amazing.

Bleh. Getting permanently locked out of stuff like that is rubbish... The inability to complete a collection winds up killing my interest in a game pretty harshly. :-/

I think you should probably just get over that one. It's just a minion.

That's just a rip-off and sets a bad precedent... :-\

It's not a rip off. The idea isn't to buy the minion for $50. The idea is to buy the soundtrack, the minion is a free extra for those who do.

Your perspectives are crazy skewed.

[Gramul]

I would still not buy a sound track and video for 50 bucks.
Fine for those that would, but that's too rich for my blood.

So the one in Squarenix shop is or not with the code?
I tried their support but looks like they didnt understand the question ._.

I want the soundtrack, however I want to buy from where I can get the code also Xp

[axemtitanium]

Yeah I'm also curious about that "initial print run" business. Has anyone bought the Before Meteor OST recently and found that it still comes with a code?

[Enkidoh]

I guess it depends on where you buy it from - I suppose there would still be online importers with the first run version in stock, but then, I bought my copy on pre-release so I have no idea if that's still the case.

[Oniyoru]

I'm trying support again, hope we get an answer.

Be it a weapon, a minion, a dungeon or whatever, losing access to any part of the game sucks. I strongly believe everyone should have the ability to access 100% of the game, whenever they buy the game, just for buying it.

This is nothing new from SE, there are items in XI that you can no longer obtain as well. As the old saying goes... you snooze, you lose.

Simply because they did something I consider stupid before doesn't mean I should be satisfied with them doing it again.
Granted at this point, they've already been locking content, so attempting to collect anything has been rather pointless from the start.

Adding these types of things on to external purchases though has been something that annoyed me from the onset (In my eyes, you may as well just add a cash-shop at that point); time-limiting them just makes it worse.

[Oniyoru]

Agreed.

I'm kinda of collector, so those OSTs r welcome to my collection. (with 100 musics each, and with mp3 already on disc, its awesome)
Buuuuut....I have to agree, for most of comunity that dun care bout OST albuns....to have a key on something like that sounds like the worst kind of cash shop..

This remember about 3 Dissidia DLCs...where u had to buy other games go get them (one of them wasnt even from Final Fantasy series)....yeah SE isnt new on that >.>
----------------------
However I disagree about event items, I know it sux when u miss something from an event u want but.....somehow thats what makes the event stuff special, they r unique.
I just wanted that Armoirie Chest worked better on that >.>
