I'm still confused about how the service accounts / bonus items work. I'll use my character names / accounts for example if anyone can help clear this up for me.

- I have one (1) Square-Enix Account.
- I have two (2) Service accounts registered under my Square-Enix Account

I've created two (2) different characters for each of the Service accounts

- Final Fantasy XIV 1
Character: Nymourea Fairhelm

- Final Fantasy XIV 2
Character: Rhomagus Asclepiot

I've already purchased two (2) Collector's Editions and registered the pre-order in game items for them (Onion Helm). I also had an FFXI linked service account (Hermes Shoes). I also registered my code from Final Fantasy XIII (Asura's Gauntlets).

I've already purchased two (2) Standard Editions and registered the pre-order in game items (Garlond Goggles) to both accounts.

I'd like to order one (1) physical copy of the PS3 Collector's Edition and one (1) physical copy of the PC Collector's Edition.

Questions

1.) I created Rhomagus Asclepiot before I had the chance to register my Standard Edition copy for Final Fantasy XIV 1.0; so he currently doesn't have access to the Garlond Goggles. Upon recreating him in A Realm Reborn; will I now be able to get this item?

2.) The Hermes shoes are no longer able to be acquired but they're still in game correct? Will Rhomagus' Hermes Shoes be deleted upon logging into A Realm Reborn?

2a.) Will service accounts that were previously tied to an FFXI account be able to gain access to the Hermes Shoes upon character creation in A Realm Reborn if they are not deleted from the game?

3.) Since I'm ordering two (2) physical copies of the Collector's Edition (One for PC and one for PS3), will I be able to register the Mog Cap and Cait-Sith Doll Minion on both Final Fantasy XIV service accounts by using different codes from each platform?

4.) If I want to play as Nymourea on my PS3 and Rhomagus on my PC, will I never be able to play as Nymourea on my PC ever again because I tied her service account to my PS3 account?

4a.) If there is a lock out, does the lock out only apply to the service account or does it apply to the Square-Enix account? Would I have to create another Square-Enix account in order to keep Rhomagus from getting locked out of the PC version as they are both under the same Square-Enix account or would I be fine?
