Please fix the Store

[Edana]

Hot threads like this generate too many frequent posts :O I come back after 10 mins and there's already like 2 or 3 more pages up, lol. XD

Anyway, I can't wait >.<; SE, please... please... who knew a simple pre-order could be this disappointing, lmao.

Ikr! I may have to get a coffee at this rate or a beer. I'm glad I've had stuff to do while waiting but I was hoping to wake up, pre-order then get on with my day.

Thing is, they're NOT screwing over the EU buyers - just the UK. It's almost £40 CHEAPER in Euro than in Pounds Sterling. It's only the fans in the UK that are getting shafted. I've bought CE of FF PC games since FFVII (with the mousemat)... this will probably be the first I can't buy.

I'd say they're screwing us both over, though UK players twice. If I convert them all to my local currency:

$130 = 953 sek
€130 = 1203 sek
£130 = 1528 sek

So Euro prices are about 300sek more expensive. About a third. GBP price is 300sek above that, i.e. two thirds of the NA price.

Edit: Ignore those, my converter was out of date. Current conversions would be:

$129.99 = 1168 sek
€129.99 = 1228 sek
£129.99 = 1724 sek

Me and my flatmate were looking to get one physical, one digital, but unless they fix this I guess we'll just screw the statue and art book and both go for digital. ¬_¬

(Was it only me, btw, who was amused by the fact that the live letter screenshots had "NA $"? Doesn't Canada use their own dollars, with a different conversion rate? Last I looked, they also counted as NA.)

Website still on maintenance? Wow and I was gone for a few hours lol

...XD I already went out to get some coffee from our local coffee shop a couple hours ago! Even though I spilled a little on my [new] pants in the car >.<; Bad day, it seems. My suggestion: get some coffee @_@

Behind the Online Store,
The time, they do ignore,
Betraying loyal fans, whose wrath stirs.

Bound fast to spam F5,
Though lag won't bring it live.
Yet ever do our debit cards point Heavensward
And ever rings out our song.

By the way, what website are people talking about that's under maintenance? Is it just the EU site suffering from maint, because the NA store simply doesn't have Heavensward in its list of CE for pre-order. We're not supposed to get it for another 2 hrs, but still I'd like to know that I'm checking the correct page.

Get some coffee but wear old pants! so you don't ruin new ones right?

Yes. Yes we do, thank you for noticing lol
Sadly, large corporations don't give a damn.

The EU site is the one we are talking about

Where on earth are you finding your exchange rates, the € price is only 5.7% more than $, both are MUCH less than £

$130 = 1124 sek
€130 = 1189 sek (5.7% more than $)
£130 = 1663 sek (47.9% more than $)
