it was down to who you put your region to in the square enix when you made your account. so any one smart enough to make it in the Japanese or American (NA) region could get these items. I do not understand why they did not just make it a world wide thing. The fact that is has been put to these regions only is a bit unfair for the rest of the world. I mean do you have some thing against us? You sure do like to take our money for playing but wont offer the same deal to the rest of the world is a bit far fetched. There is an amazone.com.au along with many other regions, why could it not just have been if you buy from amazon (regardless of region) you can get these great gifts! ?
