FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Purchase Questions

[Allcars]

Um you'll need a PS3 to register the PS3 item codes iirc ; ;

I could be totally wrong, feel free to correct/clarify

I have never dealt with SquareEnix with ps3 other than just putting a disk and playing, but I would imaging setting up the account would be the same as the pc edition. Tho I could be completely wrong... I never thought of it doing all the registration in the ps3.

With how convoluted they've made purchasing the CE etc, it wouldn't surprise me if they made it this way ><. I'm dreading when people get their games and are like "But I have no PS3, I wasted $80?" ><

I don't want the physical CE stuff, I pre-ordered the CE digital download for 49.99, this I thought would net me all the CE items and the pre order bonus stuff. Now we find out that the CE stuff won't be added to our accounts like we thought. The money smart way to do this is to cancel my pre order, buy the standard version for 29.99 so I can get the pre order stuff and then do the digital upgrade when that becomes available. It doesn't seem like that much of a savings but it's crazy to me that SE would do this and actually cheat themselves out of money and make themselves look foolish in the eyes of their fan base at the same time. Fix this issue please SE.

So what because i wanted the art book and sound track from the CE and seeing as i have another account that's the standard edition i was under the impression i could just have registered the In game item codes onto that account, but by the looks of it i can't? are the code for the game and items the same code or something this is sounds annoying though the In game items would be treated the same as the onion helm in 1.0 with it's own code and i'll would be free to registered that to any account sigh....

When will the "FFXIV Service Center" open?

It is my understanding that we cannot upgrade our standard account to a CE account digitally until this is launched. I hope that this service launches soon so I can pre-order my CE digital upgrade to get my in-game bonuses.

Wouldn't it be easier to just send out promo codes to the legacy members for the discounted CE edition? Each code could be randomized but linked to that members account. That should prevent non-legacy members acquiring that promo code.

wow thanks a lot SE! So i'm now stuck with a PC physical collectors edition that I can't cancel as i've already recieved the pre-order code and if I want the items which i've already bought i'm going to have to splash out on an extra digital upgrade? This makes no sense, at least make a website somewhere where i can type in my physical code and you can swap it to an upgrade code or something.

I feel so cheated right now.

edit: it's also slightly ironic that YoshiP is banging on about making stuff in game 'less stressful' and yet every update here is the opposite. First the mess up with the credits and now this.

I understand SE is not willing to give all people who played 1.0 version the ability to upgrade the game into pre-oder status, however, what about just the people who pre-ordered the original 1.0 version? Could we have a digital upgrade at least for them? Or a chance to trade 1.0 pre-order items for ARR pre-order items? I really like ARR items so much more.

I don't think there will be such thing as digital pre-order. Although that would be quite awesome! (Go for it SE!!)

I believe that SEs thinking is You received all the stated benefits for pre ordering Ver 1.0. By their definition this is a new game and as such the pre order benefits should only apply to ARR orders. The digital in game items for people who purchased the CE for Ver 1.0 is a good will gesture from SE to those people and SE is offering people who purchase the standard edition to pay the difference in price from the Standard Edition to CE addition if they want to receive the in game items. That choice is strictly up to you.

Sill waiting for news regarding those who have pre-ordered from third party retailers and still didn't got the pre-order codes.

Why is everyone saying they can't cancel a 90day out preorder? I was able to quickly and easily cancel mine last night. I don't understand. ?
