I think he's trying to say that the pre-order stuff should be left for only those who pre-order; that being said, it took a min to understand his first pic. If we're going to try and make witty posts let's make them clear! haha

I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with legacy members wanting to be able to upgrade their account to pre-order CE status. After all, no one's asking for anything for free. I'm sure some of them would be willing to pay for it. I, personally, don't care either way. Everything in the CE package that I care about can be bought via eBay later, so it's whatever. lol

Haha for sure!

I'd like to be able to buy the pre-order bonuses without having to buy another copy of the game...
I already have the game and played it for 2 years, I don't want to drop another $30 on a copy of the game that's just going to sit and collect dust><;, but I'd happily pay a small fee to obtain the fluff items D:

Click for Source:
"Q: Will people who have the 1.0 Collector's Edition be able to apply the pre-order bonus in-game items and early access rights to their old accounts if they pre-order the standard PC version of the game?

A: When registering the pre-order bonus code you will be able to select which FFXIV service account the bonus is applied to."

Click for Source: "Pre-Order Bonus In-Game Items
The bonus in-game items (a "Cait Sith Doll Minion" and "Mog Cap") will be delivered to the account that the pre-order bonus code has been registered to."

With that in mind, you can "buy" the pre-order items it would just cost you the price of a new game (roughly $29.99 at cheapest, or $79.99 at most if you want the whole kit-n-kaboodle).

Steps for existing users to get the pre-order items:
* Pre-order a new copy of FFXIV
* When you get it, apply the code to your existing Square Enix account
* Once code is put on an existing account, all items will be mog mailed to the existing characters on your account.

I'm curious what a reasonable price is to you? If these items together were offered at $19.99 would that be enough for you?

And if taking the game Final Fantasy XIV: ARR out of the equation and Square Enix offered minions and or vanity items in the future priced at $9.99-14.99 would we just be seeing threads titled "Vanity items too much!" pop up?

While I don't per say disagree with what your asking, Square has already stated this is how you get the pre-order privileges and have decided to package minions along with those privileges. If you don't think $29.99 is a reasonable price to entitle yourself to these additional items then you can move on and be on your way. Other than the fact everyone has a right to one's opinion and the forums is a place to post that...or complain about it...

It seems like it's really coming down to your not willing to pay for the price they're asking for. Thus I'm curious if these items were simply priced at $29.99 alone without the game would this thread still exist? Or would we have another thread titled "These Vanity items are priced too high..."

Just think it's beating a dead horse when it's already been stated how to obtain these privilages... but again your entitled to your opinion and ability to post about it.
