Post questions or problems regarding Early Access and Preorder Codes here

[Aurou]

This question is regarding the PS3 version, I had a concern while applying the Early Access to my account:

After reading all of the user agreements, I was taken to a window where it asked me to confirm which options I wished to add to my account, it looked something like this: "Option: Haribehrt Langdale, FINAL FANTASY XIV EARLY ACCESS PS3, Mog Cap, Cait Sith Minion"

The first option, Haribehrt Langdale, is the character I used during P4 when the 3102 bug happened for me. He's on a Japanese server(Typhoon, I believe), lvl 1, and was only logged in for 30 minutes, at most. I'm worried since this was the only character listed, and I was unable to switch to my main character(Naelo Saiph, on the Gilgamesh server) when applying the EA code, that this will be the only character I'm able to play during EA.

Can anyone confirm(preferably with an official source, but any confirmation is welcome) that I'll be able to select my main, Naelo Saiph when attempting to play on Saturday? I thought I had deleted Haribehrt Langdale, but apparently I hadn't. I'd hate to be stuck on a Japanese server, when all my friends are on Gilgamesh.

Any help, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I had the same issue... I just accepted and updated. I will deal with SE later if it comes to it. The fact that these forums register my main account made me feel a little better.

Question guys.
I got my 12 digit PS3 code from the preorder website.
Now the issue I have is my main PSN account is US based. However because I am currently living in Australia my preorder code is for EU. The 12 digit PSN code won't enter on my main US PSN account. But I do have a sub account for Australian content (DLC for games bought here, etc.)
If I apply the preorder code to my AU account, will that stuff anything up with me playing the game on my US account?

Thanks!

Hi, I made my account when I was living in the UK (now in US) and when I now try to put my 20 digit NA code in, it tells me my region is inapplicable for this code. I have tried changing everything I can to US and US English, but when I go back to the SE Account Management screen it still says I am in Europe.
It would also be fine if they would just send me a code for EU as I can still play on the NA servers with my friends.
I don't really know what to do...

I am getting the Error 2: Code already in use. I bought the game from Green Man Gaming. I e-mailed GMG and they told me it was a legit code and that SE had to handle it.

What is my best option for fixing this before early access starts?

Ok so I got my early access code, but I am now very confused about which service account to attach it to. I played the open beta using my service account labelled "FFXIV 1" yet now that I have to pick which service account to attach me early access code to, "FFXIV 2" is the one that lists my FFXIV: ARR Collector's Edition... this cannot be good....

This is whats going on
The point that most people are making is that, this isn't occuring even after we link the accounts. I've launched the PS3 version, gone through the whole linking process, watched as the mog cap and cait sith minion was manually added to my 1.0 service account that included the Windows version, the windows beta, and the PS3 beta, and yet I still can only log into the Ps3 version and not the PC version. Using the same credentials for each version, I get a completely different message(wait until EA or no active service account).


A MONTH AGO:

player asked:
Let's say I bought the old game, and never received Legacy status. If I want to get early access on the PC, all I have to do is pre-order a copy of the new version right? If I buy the PS3 version instead, does that mean I have to play on PS3 during the early access period?

MOD hvinire responded:

As long as you pre-order, the PS3 version can be linked to your pre-existing FFXIV account to play early on the PC version.

This will also allow you to play on either the PS3 or PC with the same service account. However, you won't be able to log in with both at the same time. As long as this isn't a problem, you should be fine purchasing the PS3 version.

MAKE IT HAPPEN SE
your mod said so.

So if you didn't register your early access code the launcher does indeed say not an active service account?

Is there any confirmation on this?

It's a collection of responses. People who are having trouble inputting their registeration codes are getting this error.
People who have recieved confirmations on entering their codes successfully, are reciving the unclickable play button (just like in the beta access)

I just want two know when they are going to fix this EU code mess. I'm on PS3 and took me forever when they messed up last week to download the game and such. i don't feel like a repeat of last weekend.

I purchased my CE from the SE store and from what I'm gathering from the insane amount of posts all over the place NA SE purchasers have not received codes yet, correct?

I received a serial number when I ordered and tried that but I get "Invalid Code"

I remember why I was turned off by FF before and it wasn't the game. SE account management is totally confusing as all get out.
