one-time password is great to have

One time password doesn't protect against phishing. Phishiers have counter measures to it.

I would take a very close look at (but don't follow) the link that comes up when you hover over it, and compare it to the actual online store link.

Got that mail too. But the link goes to square-enix-games.com when i hover over it with the mouse cursor. But square-enix-games.com seems to be legit.

I got one too from the usual SE email. Not clicking any links on the off-chance, but I assume it's official and simply a typo.

If the OP clicked a phishing link, they probably wouldn't have their account right now.

[DrWho2010]

because when the phishing site asks you for the OTP there is still a window where the information is still valid after you've logged in. they have scripts that hammer you to take you offline and they log in while the OTP is still active that you entered and then go and change everything on you. that's how they work.

Got the same email, but with the correct price.
I've also got this kind of advertising mail a lot, usually a few days after something is added to cash shop, so I didn't give it too much thought.

Oh I got this email as well, seems like any other mails from SE

[Zomkei]

you can always tell it’s fake if it asks you for your OTP along with your username / pass. all official XIV sites take you to another page to verify (if you have one)

also i get emails like this as well often when new things are added to the store. it was probably an error due to converting currencies

They also list the "Street Attire (Fully dyeable!)" for 1.40 € in their email...
That's a fail... this outfit costs 17.50 euros...
