Using a Fantasia before 3.0 Maintenance

[Evergrey]

How so?? I don't understand how the part you quoted contradicts being able to change in early access?

Early Access Code - what we have registrated.

Core Heavensward Code - comes on release day (patch notes say no Au Ra untill this code is entered)

I don't understand that either.

edit: Oh I see. But that problem only belong to those without Fantasia? I already do have 2 since ages ago and just used one now.

Don't think that's what he meant. Problem is, if they allow people to change their race to au'ra during the early access and those people cancel their pre-order those people would have to change their race again, right? which would cause problems..so to not cause such problems it seems SE made it not possible for early access users to change their race to Au'ra until they entered the heavensward key. at least thats how I understand what Evergray is talking 'bout.

If you are playing in EA then you can no longer cancel. You are told that before you enter your codes rou received by email from SE.

what? of course you can cancel your pre order if you ordered at stores like amazon/gamestop/whatever. Not everyone bought digital from square or physical from the SE shop.
And the Early Access keys still work from amazon, even if you canceled the pre order.

I was hoping we'd get a free phantasia, since well....new race. Kinda sux if we need to pay to use it, or make new char; i see no reason to make an Au'ra alt..
On a side-note: 25euro for 5 phantasia? that's as much as the game costs....

We do get one. . .atleast i know preorder does.

The CE or Digital Deluxe editions get a fantasia.

I'm 99% sure everyone who is accessing EA will already have been charged. Would be interested to hear otherwise though. I also assume the EA code will allow you to change to Au Ra... if not, yes that is strange.

Hmm, if that's what happened, then it would also mean that those with early access couldn't access new jobs as well? Since if they have access to the new jobs and cancelled, then it would cause problem? And along with level cap increase as well?

SE still has yet to charge me, lol. My order was NA Digital version. Already input the early access code in mog station and now has the early access status in the account. Hope nothing went wrong with the transaction though since I still able to buy crysta with the same creditcard with no problem.

I just try to interpret what Evergrey/Kassatsu meant. Also, I read about a few people who ordered the game on amazon got the pre order code 5 minutes later and canceled their pre order but the key does work and they used it. Their reasoning was that they want to see the new areas before they really buy it..

Honestly, I hope and think that SE will let us change everything. But really any discussion is useless about this topic. we need a mod to just tell us how it will be on friday.

but hey, my Collector's Edition status changed to "prepare for shipment", that is all that counts for me right now >>

I can confirm that you do not get a pre order code right away from Amazon. While in the past people were able to do things like that you no longer can. I pre ordered from Amazon months ago and I never got a code. Finally I found out that they are not giving their codes out until the 19th. I didn't want to wait that long to enter mine so I ended up canceling my order and just buying it through the SE store.

I found this little bit in the patch notes also though near the very top...

Unlike previous updates, patch 3.0 contains content that can only be accessed by registering FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward to your service account.

Worded exactly the same as it is above the Au Ra part in the patch notes. [:
