Question about "fly the Falcon" mount and early access

[Ladygrilka]

If i read the campaign eligibility correctly :

"Meet each of the following conditions during the campaign period to obtain the Falcon mount:

• Purchase and register a copy of FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood.
• Subscribe for at least 90 days of play time (excluding free play periods)"

So they said register and buy playtime after the start of the campaign... but I have preordered Stormblood (so it was before the campaign), play the early access then i have bought 120 days of playtime after the start of the falcon campaign. My question is will i recieve the falcon ?

Any official response ?

Yes. You have to wait til the end of August when they run their first check for the qualifications. Because 'June, July, August' is 90 days. Like you, I have subbed for a long time, 450 days at this point.

Recall the first header on the page. It explains when the distributions happen.

I read it... but the requirements i see are : register stromblood and buy 90 days of play during the campaign...

So what if i have bought and register stromblood before july 1st ?

The little disclaimer right below that is:

Note
-The initial free play period included with new product registrations, the free login period from the Callback Campaign, and the free play period granted for moving to New/Preferred Worlds do not count toward the 90 day requirement.

-The number of days of subscription time added to your account, excluding free play periods, is how eligibility will be determined. This does not mean that 90 days must have elapsed to be eligible. For example, you can still obtain the mount if you purchase a 90-day subscription period on September 30, 2017.

-If you have remaining subscription time that was purchased before the campaign period, or you have an active recurring subscription, we will calculate any remaining game time available as of Saturday, July 1, towards the campaign.

-Free Trial accounts are ineligible for the campaign.

i need to rephrase to be simple ...

"campaign eligibility :

Meet each of the following conditions during the campaign period to obtain the Falcon mount:

• Purchase and register a copy of FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood. not OK stromblood registered before july 1st
• Subscribe for at least 90 days of play time (excluding free play periods)" OK 90 days buyed after july 1st

So preorder and early access will get the mount or not ?

[ArcanoJones]

So to qualify you just have to subscibe for 90 days sometime in that time period. Not be subcribed for that time period is this right. If so I think I started my account with the base game and Stormblood expansion on July 2nd. 1 day after. That would blow if I missed it by 1 day..

[Lexia]

I highly doubt they going to exclude people that pre-ordered SB cause most the playerbase did I would assume.

[Lustaria]

From my understanding of the text, retroactive accounts that have more than 90 days built up and have a recurring sub, as well as have registered SB before the event count toward this, we just have to wait for the end of August.

But yes, if at like, August 1st you buy a 90 day time card or what have you, that counts.

I feel you are taking the text of the eligibility too literally. Yes, meet the conditions during. As in, if you pre-ordered SB and registered it before, guess what? By July 1st, you have SB registered.

[Ametrine]

Exactly. It means you need to have a registered copy of Stormblood on your account during the campaign, and you do.

"The number of days of subscription time added to your account, excluding free play periods, is how eligibility will be determined. This does not mean that 90 days must have elapsed to be eligible. For example, you can still obtain the mount if you purchase a 90-day subscription period on September 30, 2017."

And...

"If you have remaining subscription time that was purchased before the campaign period, or you have an active recurring subscription, we will calculate any remaining game time available as of Saturday, July 1, towards the campaign."

Any time remaining from old game time cards counts, so whatever time still left on that 120 day card counts for the minimum 90 days.

You're totally fine and going to get the mount when they begin sending them out.
