Just received my EA code in my email between 830 to 9am CST. Keep an eye out for the following label:

FFXIV: Heavensward Pre-Order Code Redeemed.

NOTE: this is for those who have already redeamed the first code from their retailer and already submitted it on the Heavensward Pre Order site and were receiving the "Code Pending" message. This is the code that you will enter via the Account management screen under "redeem code" on your PS3 or PS4.

ANOTHER REMINDER: Based off of most reports most 3rd Party retailers (ie Amazon, Best Buy etc) are being received by a very small number of people but the retailers have been advising many to expect them ON the 19th. It is not specified WHEN on the 19th but there is a high likely hood that it will not be right at midnight but more likely in the morning or later.

I can't state any of the aditional info I posted as FACT, just want to help save others some research and help out. Good luck everyone!
