THey're being sent in batches?

Yeah, or at the very least, tied to the Early Access code.

Especially for PC, the way that this has been handled is poor. This could have been simplified in one way.

If you pre-order a code for Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood, you should be given the code on the Square-Enix store (Or Steam/Green Man Gaming) and then you access the Mog Station to redeem it. Fair enough!
But giving us a code, that we have to go to a "Redeem" page just to register the EA code that we already registered just to wait for a 2nd code to enter in for the redemption of the expansion itself. Madness!

Wouldn't the one Early Access code from the Square-Enix store be sufficient enough? Or is there a very weird instance where a person would register the EA code on a 2nd Service Account and then use the Expansion code on the 1st Service Account.

Even Playstation 4 players get it easy. Register the code and done. They don't have to do anything else.

As with everyone else, we are still awaiting the full expansion codes.
According to this post, we can only redeem the full game expansion codes from tomorrow!

So the only thing that we can do is either spam refresh in our webmails (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com) or mash F9 in Outlook to get the email from Square-Enix to for the code.

Happy Stormblooding (Eh, that is not a word :P )

So funnily enough, it says this code was given when we enabled our Early Access Code. I did this for my account and my wife's and followed the instructions (it's Squenix after all) to get the Early Access coded entered on the Redemption Site, went through and clicked Download then Unlock Code at that time... the codes given were the same 18-Digit codes for Early Access.

You'd have thought if they didn't give them then, at least they would have included an option to get them or have it part of the Billing Email. The code given in that email that claimed it was the Access Code, is also only 18-Digits so Early Access. Yet now we're asked for a 20-Digit Code. Been trying all day and unable to get through to Support via Phone as it's been nothing but busy.

Makes you wish they'd thought this system out a slightly bit more. I'm not even concerned about Congestion and Duty Servers, that's normal with any expansion but if you can't play when it goes live after being in Early Access... if that character is in any Stormblood area then they are locked out. Went through that in Heavensward when we had a similar issue getting the code. : sigh :

Yup. Same issue, here. Received my early access key without any issue but I still have yet to receive an actual Stormblood key. No idea why they made this convoluted system that requires three separate keys for the same product. Need to use a key to get a key to register for early access so you can wait for a third key for the standard release.

Genius.
