    Where/How to Pre-Order Heavensward

    Hi everyone. I can't seem to find a link on the FFXIV site to pre-order Heavensward. I did a search for the SE store on Yahoo and was able to locate it but no Heavensward there either. Amazon seems to be selling only Windows versions and says nothing about early access. Did I just imagine that we would be able to pre-order today and get early access?

    Several hours more to wait for NA. But they screwed up EU terribly so...watch closely.

    If you would've read the other dozen threads on this forum about this, you'd know there are issues with Square Enix's website. Pre-orders won't be available until around 11:00 A.M. PST, supposedly. T_T We're all anxious!!

    Screwed up EU site-wise and price-wise apparently. That conversion rate I'm reading about is insane. They're having to pay almost $200 for the CE. I'm waiting to see what the item description says on NA store but... I really don't know if I'll order it.

    It's not really conversion, but value. SE isn't the only game company that sells this way to EU. Perfect World does this also. If a game to us costs $40 USD, their EU customers pay 40 Euro. They keep the numbers the same and ignore the currency rating. I think it's partly because EU customers can afford a lot more than we can, because their economy is like 50 times better than America.

    But... It isn't done this way normally. Sure some company or another does it. That doesn't mean it's standard. After looking around on this forum it is beyond not standard for them and people in the UK and EU don't have the mindset of it being deemed affordable either. A country's economy doesn't mean any one person can afford a game more easily than someone else in another country.

    This is very common, if you look at the price differences in the actual PS4 itself, you'd notice the same thing. The reasons come down to 1 main point: Taxes. However, when you take that into account, you'd still find that in the UK (and the EU by extension), we're still being ripped off. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22868787 This article discusses the price differences.

    Hahahaha... Germany is not all of EU. Here in Italy the economy has been tanking down for the past 20 years...

    And the fun thing is that our news say the US are flourishing instead. I guess the NA news do the same in our regards.

    Been checking Amazon for Digital CE. They have the standard digital, but make no mention of pre-order bonus so ill be waiting. SE store was confusing when buying from them before.

    US is flourishing economically. Stock market is at record high and unemployment at like 5% or something like that last I saw. Not sure where anyone is hearing different. Fox News probably... /shrug
