Looking Forward: How Is Heavensward Launch going to handle Physical CE purchasers?

[Alfinia]

My only hope is they don't make it Online store Only for the Physical CE... Like they did with all the lasts CE edition of FF and KH games.. They charge a very excessive 35$ to ship a 3DS game.. what's it gonna be for a box that size >_<

I don't care much for CE's in general but it all depends on what does the physical copy includes.

Its actually fairly big because it includes this:

I dont remember all of what they mentioned in the stream, I think artbook and a DVD as well, but I want it for that dragon. It looks awesome.
The collectors edition box is actually a display for that wyvern statue too, and opens up in front. Was pretty awesome to see in the stream.

I wonder if this is a world wide CE box or the Japan CE box. I know 1.0 had different stuff in the NA and EU box sets. EU got a moldy coffee mug while NA got a cloth map. I hope it will be the same for all regions.

It sounded like in the video that it would be all regions, not just Japan.

If i remember it right, the ARR CE boxes were the same.

The cloth map was also included in the 1.0 CE EU box. The mug, the map, item code for the onion helmet, the diary book, the security token and a buddy pass (a second registry code of the game you can give to a friend).

This sounds an awful lot like servers will be down for a significant amount of time, similar to how 1.0 lead into 2.0. I certainly don't expect the full year downtime, but enough to warrant early access to 3.0? Can you clarify on that detail please?

there would be no early access. They will give out preorder-codes, so that people, who preordered it and have not the box in the hand at patch day, will be able to enter the new zones instead to still waiting for their box.

what about if someone plays on both pc and ps4, do we have to buy the expansion for each console ?

HOLY SH!T! :O

My NA copy didn't have no damn cloth map, just some "Adventurer certificate" voucher that never materialized.

Yes buddy, unfortunately you'll need 2 copies.

I had the same question.

Oh let's not forget the Physical CE will also have the digital collector's edition items. I know there is a flying griffon mount for sure.
Oh and Wind up Kain minion and cecil themed helmet.
