Need Help ..... PS4 Early access code :S

[Koopa_Troopa]

Will I need to set up a subscription for the early access? I thought we got a month free in the box. Will the early access be free till release day then you enter your code from the box to cntinue?

Same query. I've applied the early access Code. The square enix store has not dispatched the SE version and I doubt I'll get it for Monday. Their customer support is awful. So if it doesn't turn up does that mean I play till Monday then wait for he game to turn up? Or is the code representative of the full game?

There's both a pre-registration code to get early access (and extra bonus items) and another code to actually register the game itself. (People who buy the game after launch would only get the second of those.)

You set up a Square-Enix account and add the pre-registration code (which I believe should be emailed to you when you purchase the game) to it to be able to access the game during the early access period. Then once the game is released you get the other code. (This is on the manual in the game box if you get a physical copy. I'm not positive on digital copies — perhaps emailed again.) This code has to be added to your account (the same account you set up with the pre-registration code) within a day or two after release or you'll lose the ability to log in until it's entered.

At least at ARR's initial launch, they allowed a couple days grace period between release day and the time they locked out anyone without a registered game code. I assume they'll do the same this time to allow everyone to get their copy and update their account with it.

EDIT:
Ah, missed the last part. Purchase of the game includes the first month of access. Within 30 days after release you'll need to set up a subscription by logging into your SE account at the Mog Station and selecting a payment method, interval, and subscription type.
