Caution when buying pre-order Stormblood digital copy.

PS : I'm not sure whether this is considered as business promotion or not, but I am not affiliated with any of these companies. I just want to share and direct people to the correct way of pre-ordering their Stormblood copy.

Before you order your stormblood copy, there is 1 thing that you must look out for :
Your Account Region.

Digital Copies will give you "game codes" and these "game codes" are region locked.
Put it simply, if you have a JP account and you accidentally bought NA/EU game code, you are screwed.

To check your account region, follow the link below

Of course, to be safe and show your support to SE, you will want to buy the product from their official website
https://stormblood.na.square-enix.com/

But if you are a stingy lalafell like me, you will try to look for third parties who will hopefully offer discount for the digital copy.

IMPORTANT : You will always want to read the description and figure out WHICH REGION the game code is available in.

I cant stress this enough to everybody. Recently, my friend discovered a whooping 17% discount in GMG website for stormblood copy. It was already said there that the product is not available in our region where we live in (Japan). He still used VPN anyway, changed his IP into an American one and bought the digital copy.

DO NOT DO THIS. You cannot, I repeat, YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR ACCOUNT REGION.
This doesn't mean that you can't play in other data centres, the account region just determine your language default and payment currency (and available product game code)

So, to the most anticipated wait, where can we find these discount in accordance to our account region.
As I mentioned, for NA/EU region, go to Greenmangaming website for a 17% discount, you'll find it.

for JP region, go to amazon and copy paste this :
ファイナルファンタジーXIV: 紅蓮のリベレーターオリジナル (for a 14% discount)

Do not buy the wrong version and regret it later. Cheers
