how is early access going to work?

[tinythinker]

Your CE won't be registered until you actually receive it and enter the code in mogstation.

I have the code but it won't work until July 2nd. I can wait for that stuff. Just glad that early access is entered and ready to gooooooooooooo

also... 'Early Access' was marked in my MogStation but my 'Collector Edition' was not... despite ordering the CE Edition 100+ days earlier, anyone knows why?

As Rongway said, you need the full code that you'd enter at launch for the CE stuff. The pre-order code is just a generic code that is in no way specific to the variety of editions released. It's that 2nd code for the full license you receive that tells the system "This person bought CE, shovel these digital goodies into their mogmail."

The changes to jobs will be available to you on the 28th even if you didn't order Shadowbringers, but you'll be unable to level above 70 and therefore not be able to access actions and abilities for levels 71-80.

You won't be able to start a Gunbreaker or Dancer because the quests won't be available to you. You won't be able to progress to the new area because you will fail the check. Until you order and enter the code.

are all of the combat/job changes going live on the 28th, but inaccessible to people who did not preorder?

The servers will be down for 24 hours before early access, when all adjustments/additions are made. Anyone without "early access" will be in the same spot as someone who hasn't bought the expansion.

All who pre-order shadowbringers and claim the early access key will be able to play shadowbringers content on the 28th, as the new classes are part of shadowbringers you very likely wont be able to unlock them until you buy the expansion.

This isnt 100% new classes will be available from the start of early access this is what happened in Heavensward and Stormblood the new classes required that you could get to the new zones for their class stories but im sure you can pick up the job quests in the ARR world.

It's already been stated at FanFest that the GNB trainer is in Gridania and the DNC trainer is in Limsa.

that and RDM + SAM were both in Ul'dah. It was only HW that required access to the new area.

Even if they are in ARR areas you still won't be able to get them without the expansion. so it doesn't matter.

On the 25th (Tuesday, regular patch day) or 28th (Friday) they will patch the game to 5.0.

Then on the 28th, everyone who pre-ordered Shadowbringers and have redeemed the pre-order code will have access to all of the Shadowbringers content of 5.0.



Collectors Edition codes more than likely become available on the 2nd, at the official release.
