Collectors Edition

If there are special benefits to pre-ordering the CE again, will those of us that bought the first CE have to buy a second one, or will we get them automatically?

No you will only get the normal download, as you already got your bonus for buying the CE and any new one will obviously have different extras. However I'm pretty sure I read somewhere about the possibility of us paying to upgrade to CE. Can anyone else remember this or am I making it up in a delusional fit of wishful thinking?


Bonus item recap.
Pre release play - CE
Onion Helm - CE
Garlond Goggles - SE
Asuran Armbands - XIII preorder code
Hermes Shoes - Active XI and XIV subscription

All the codes had to be used BEFORE making a character. It is possible if the old codes are still valid they may be made available via moogle delivery, so existing characters can obtain them but a dev would have to confirm/deny.

I swore I read a rep post saying CE owners get the CE digital in 2.0 but the rep didnt mention anything about standard, partly because the thread was all about CE and how much it sucked.


I bought the standard because I wanted the goggles XD and didnt care for the helm lol


So It would be nice to know the pre order bonuses again and if you have to buy a whole new box to get the other ones or not.

In the thread I asked for the ability to bundle the bonuses, or if they decide to not give standard a bonus they should give standard owners the option of upgrading to CE ARR (not including 1.0 CE items). And that the 1.0 CE owners can bundle the the standard bonuses of ARR into their 1.0 CE/ARR CE.

Well choose your version carfefully if they have different bonus items i had both PC versions and you could only use one code....><

The only good thing was all your characters received that item. I used the code for the Helmet instead of the goggles and to be honest it was kind of useless!

Really? So I can't have the helmet and the goggles on one character? Darn, too bad...

You could use both codes. You just had to use them before character creation in order to get the items. So, if you got the CE for early access, then you had to start over to also get the goggles.

Yeah, I always thought that was a lame restriction :P. They better get that figured out for 2.0! There is gonna be a helluva lot of already existing characters that aren't going to get their pre-order items because they aren't new characters for ARR! lol I'm sure they will though.
