Physical CE not available in EU?

[Defteros]

It might be a dumb question....
But I always thought THAT I coul buy the fisical CE FROM the SE store, regardless if I'm from USA or Europe....

Doesn't it work like that? O_o
I mean, I've bought from the SE store before (even if only some plushies) but I still received them, and I'm from Italy...

Yes, you can buy it from another region but the game itself won't be able to work with your account, unless it is from the same region. You can buy it just for the statue though, if that's your reasoning.

The digital only is regarding PS3. The translator confusion after on MrHappys stream was regarding the PS3 version as well. Odds are there aren't enough PS3 XIV players in EU that warrants a physical release.

There's another possibility actually. I remember that Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening didn't have a physical version in Europe too. At the time people said that it was a policy of Sony Europe that expansions couldn't have a physical release. Might be the same thing here, but don't take my word for it.

I do hope that EU can get the physical CE. I guess we'll know for sure on Monday.

It's sad the Square Enix Store does not support selling and shipping physical boxes to all EU countries. My country is not supported so I can't pre order the physical CE from SE Store. I will have to wait my retailers to brig and sell the standard edition and hope some of them will bring the CE one.

Um... well if they bothered to distinguish the SE Boutique as the SE online store in France, I'm pretty sure they would also have bothered to mention if EU wasn't getting the physical CE... o_O I mean that "Pre-ordering from an online store (box and download) and SQUARE ENIX Boutique (Boxed version only) (PAL)" thing is pretty straightforward (PAL including Europe, France being in Europe, boxed version)... but yeah, would be nice to get some clarification about this BEFORE the actual pre-order begins...

Umm... I saw the price in Dollars and Yen, but not Euros. Although the exchange rate for dollars to euros (according to google currency converter thing) is 0.95, so it works out about the same.

And yeah, I would of liked to know myself, but it's only a matter of waiting til monday morning. :/

When was the last time you tried to order from them? Did you know about a couple weeks ago they revamped their entire online store, got a new distributor as well changed it aesthetically. If its been a while since you checked it out, maybe you should see if you can order from them now, as the Live Letter last night made it seem like everyone could use the Online Store.

Yesterday that I checked not all EU countries included. Except if I went to the wrong store.

I know Iceland can't receive physical items. The list of countries that can didn't seem to be full to me, so there will be places excluded.

What annoyed me is finding out you have to pay in full at order time for pre-orders according to the information I've just read. I really don't like that idea as if, for some reason, a problem with release occurs it's going to require time to claim money back. I'm definitely hoping Amazon UK stock the CE. They don't charge until delivery for pre-orders.
