    I will definitely preorder, no question. Probably just the standard digital version though, not the collector's edition. I'd like the Garnet minion, but the Ark mount isn't really my style. Cool to see yet more FFIX references so far though, I'm curious to see where this is going...

    Not pre-ordering.

    No faith the MSQ will be any good. The new writers are pretty bad and I'm sick of half the Scions. Complete faith Dawntrail will be better than Endwalker in terms of content, which is a very safe bet tbqh, because Endwalker was awful and they're pushing the "MMO" of the MMORPG a little more.

    I'm preordering as soon as I get home from work. I've had an excellent time in this game for the last 8 years and look forward to many more.

    Plus I entered in vacation for the 28th, even if the game goes down for maintenance which is the EA usual, I'll never miss an EA experience. I love experiencing a new expac with everyone day 1.

    My spouse and I will be pre-ordering 4 standard-edition copies (one for each account we have) on Tuesday: we want the earrings.
    Not interested in the ARK mount -- Spectral Statice is way better and free!

    Not really worried about how good DT will be: by the time we've played enough of it to decide that, the cost-per-hour attributable to buying the expansions will probably be less than $1/hr, making it a far better entertainment option than most movies being put out these days.

    I’ll be pre-ordering the digital collector’s edition on Tuesday. Tempted as I am by that cloth map, journal and brush roll, I can’t justify the expense, especially since I could care less about the statue that’s probably the bulk of the price.

    I’m excited for the new expansion, and one of the digital items is a Pictomancer glam brush, with a palette that looks like a shooting star. (Makes me wonder if we’ll get to mix and match brushes and palettes the way PLD can do with swords and shields, or if the brush/palette are “together” like an AST globe and card sleeve…) Pictomancer in general is one of the top things I’m looking forward to, and despite my initial apprehension at seeing the job trailer, I’m hoping I’ll end up loving it.

    But first and foremost for me is the MSQ… I love this world and its characters, and I’m looking forward to seeing what the next big story is going to be.

    Pre-ordering the Collector’s box edition without any doubts. EW was and still is an amazing piece of storytelling and gameplay for me, and unless they drastically change the way FF14 plays, I know I won’t be disappointed.

    I'll pre-order, probably the CE, though that matters less as you can get the CE bonuses later. I already know I will play DT so I might as well just get the perks for pre-ordering it. I do have a bit of faith that SE learned the importance of having replayable content and it sounds like they are going to right the ship on that end at least. Job design is the only sticking point I have but if the content is interesting enough I will keep playing regardless.

    I'll be preordering because it's the newest instalment in a game series I want to play when it launches, simple as that – and if I'm going to buy it then it would be silly to miss out on the items that you can get for committing to buy it.

    Broadly speaking, I think that pre-ordering is a bad idea for consumers. I want to see reviews first so that I can understand if the game has problems and hear others talk about their experiences with the system. If it sounds like a game I would enjoy after that, then I buy it.

    However, if I played the previous game in the series and feel like it gave me a baseline for understanding what the next game will be like and a trust that the devs can deliver, then that significantly diminishes any need for others to vet the product.

    And with an MMO like FF14, that's doubly so. I'm literally already playing the game, and an expansion is going to be tagged onto it that will do little to change the fundamentals of the experience. So that means it comes down to one simple question: am I going to keep playing FF14?

    If I'm done with FF14, then there's no reason to buy the expansion. But if I'm going to keep playing and paying a monthly subscription, then it seems silly to not buy the new content that will give me more stuff to do.

    Based on the lead-in to Dawntrail, I have my doubts about whether the story will be good. But I'll give it a chance. And hopefully the gameplay content will continue to be fun, even if there are many places I think it could improve. And maybe some of those improvements will come? We'll see.

    So yes, I'm going to pre-order.
