FAO Mods : I have recieved 2 early access codes

[Albiere]

Pre-order codes
- Pre-order codes are used here: US - EU.
- They are like this: XXXXXX-000-XXXXXX-000
- You can already use them. Just go on the page from your region, login, redeem.
- Upon entering them, you'll receive (instantly or later) an early access code.

Just received my third email with the new code, and that's also appearing now in my SE profile page under a button labelled 'View your FFXIV Heavensward Early Access', great!

However I've seen lots of people reference a pre-order code to be entered at the links helpfully provided above. This is the first time I've heard about needing a second code and I've checked through all my emails to find I don't have one! I just have the early access code.

Please can I get some clarification? Do I need this code? How can I get it? Thanks!

Currently, Early Access Codes are not activated and will not work if you try to redeem them. We will email you again soon to notify you that the codes can be used and the game client can be downloaded.

I can't wait to put my code in!

OK got my 3rd and final code, is that it? or will there be more XD, find it funny its the eu store XD we had to wait a week after official 'pre-order' date :P

i got all 3 e-mails saved and ready in case the new one doesn't work D:

stilll i cannot wait for when they will be redeemable HOPEFULLY not like 2.0's EA which started ON EA's start meaning a lot of people with slower net speed had to miss a day and a half D: ((luckily my Beta launcher was able to play early access, then i had to redownload on launch when servers were down))

Got my 3rd and hopefully final code today. I was confused yesterday when I received the 2nd one

Confirming I received a new e-mail with a 3rd set of codes (codes for both pre-ordered copies included in the same e-mail this time). These match the codes that now appear again on my Square Enix EU store profile.

Chiming in on echoing this comment. The code I have is in the typical XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX format and does not match the format requested on the pre-order code page. I ordered directly from the SE store so I suspect I may have just been directly given an early access code instead (so no need to enter a code on the pre-order page) but some confirmation of that would be nice.

question about people who pre ordered the game from GMG:

did you get a pre order code yet? I've yet to receive one. Got an early access code tho, but still waiting on the pre-order one.

I don't know exaclty why they need to have a "double key", where a pre-order code will generate an early access code.

The best I can think of is if they already printed the voushers with the pre-order codes on some physical editions, while the early access codes are not fully generated/activated.

Since the early access code is only delivered if you pre ordered in the first place, and the fact that you'll enter them on the Mog Station, you'll probably be fine if you only have the early access code, which is the most important.
