Questions regarding Stormblood Pre-orders or Collector's Edition

[vampiregirl663]

So we aren't going to get a code if you bought it directly from the PSN store? Does that mean we don't need to enter it on the early access website either? I've never pre-ordered an expansion before (I started after HW was released) so I, like many others it seems, are confused and just want to make sure that everything will work out the way it is supposed to.

Make sure you make your purchase on same PSN linked to your SE account and you dont need to redeem any codes.

Correct. When it comes to PlayStation Network purchases, all of that (pre-order bonuses entitlement, ability to play at release, etc.) is done as part of the purchase and requires no code redemption on the part of the user.

And sure enough, before I could even get to the bank this morning the PC physical CE sold out on EB Games' Australian site.

Although, this also happened before with Heavensward as well and EB Games later got more PC CE stock assigned about a week later (which I was then able to secure a pre-order for), so hopefully, this will be the case again.... hopefully. *crosses fingers*

Looks like gmg now has the downloadable version for pc (note: not compatible with the steam version) up for sale at a reduced price including a digital collector's edition:
Normal: https://www.greenmangaming.com/games...iv-stormblood/
CE: https://www.greenmangaming.com/games...ctors-edition/

I'm not sure what region these are restricted to if the digital downloads have such a restriction. I would assume NA but I asked them just in case, will update if I receive a reply.

Like Heavensward, will the ingame bonus items still be sent during full release if you pre-order the Collector's Edition?

Thanks for the reply Bayohne

Question for you, Bayohne:

If I ordered the digital version and wanted to upgrade it to the collector's edition at some point, will that be an option? Through the Mogstore or do I have to buy it through S-E's store? I've always bought the Digital Collector's but this year money's a bit tight so I got the digital only edition but would like to surprise my wife with the collector's at some point.

Mostly because she wants the shiny items.

Thanks in advanced and apologies if the question was already answered. Didn't have a chance to scour through the 23 pages of information.

Coming up to a week since the confirmation and sale of the physical Collector's Edition via EB Games AUS, but still nothing regarding the sale in New Zealand.

Has there been any recent developments or have issues arisen that have proven too difficult to allow the sale of it in New Zealand?

Any information regarding this would be appreciated, Thank you.

I was wondering this as well. Although I am Australian (and managed to secure a preorder with EB Games for the PC CE after it was restocked), I would hate to see our NZ friends miss out.
