Hand to The Twelve, I promise you!

I re-snapped both these pics from my mail history, within the last hour.

What was the valid date range for your bonus code? Mine says Oct 17, 2014 to Dec 31, 2016

I'm guessing it's two completely different rules surrounding this based on which site you use. The code for NA(and possibly EU) is 20 characters long. Is it the same on the JP one?

Plus, the leaflet that I got is on a page roughly 4.5inch x 5.5 inch.

Forget the minion; I want Yotsuyu's gear to glamour up my BLM!

Emails are now going out let you know the deal has changed.

Almost 2 weeks late to "Clarify."

I was able to cancel my preorder straight from my orders but some people said they needed to contact support to do it for them.

[TheGrimace]

Haha, wow, this is BS.

I won't be cancelling my pre-order this time because of this but if this does continue to the next one I'll probably just start buying my FFXIV artbooks from a third-party. I'd almost assuredly get better & cheaper shipping on them then what SE is offering (It's gonna be 80$ CAD total).

While I do mainly play one character, I do have multiple characters and I want to have as many items as I can across them. I'm not happy about the cashshop outfits/minions being character-locked either but this is getting absurd. I'm not going to purchase two 40$ artbooks just for one minion.

You already can get it cheaper just look at amazon Japan. $10 shipping vs $40. Even then I will wait for the eventual sale of the artbook.

If SE doesnt have the courtesy of saying how its going to be at time of pre-order, then I wont pre-order, and wont buy at full price either.

Same price less value should mean lower cost.
"But its just a digital minion" Exactly so why limit it to one character now?

I complained about this when I found out about the Eorzea Symphony orchestrion going to only one character on an account. I understand that there might be "Server Strain" or whatnot, but this doesn't make much sense, especially when we're already paying the price of a complete game to get the bonus items.

It's shady business and I don't think I'll be buying the artbook now if this is the kind of practice moving forward, especially when at the time of pre-ordering, for both the CD and the artbook, the bonus code was said to be account wide. I have characters I'd like to have these bonus items now, and it's extremely annoying that I have to purchase them more than once to have access to them.

Far as I am aware, the minion is the second bonus item to get this treatment, not the first.

And I really wanted this art book too.

Awe, I was thinking of getting this book >:
