Early Access code - Wrong Region

[Rodrell]

The fact that Square Enix hasn't acknowledged this problem is still on-going is appalling. I had to cancel my pre-order and order through Amazon.

The release code on launch is region locked also? OMG ...

I hate this damned GMG! They didn't even specify for me if I bought an NA or EU one. Look: http://i.imgur.com/hrCP0R9.jpg

And I bought two of these! One for my wife. @_@

The only thing I see there that might be bad for you is that the preorder link is for EU.

Are the EA codes and the actual game registration codes linked in anyway? Or can I just re-order a new EA code and still get my Collector's edition that I have purchased and had shipped already?

They should be different codes. EA codes only give you the preorder items and early access. Should be a separate code when you get you physical copy or an email at launch for digital copies that have a game code.

Hard to say, but if I was to guess I would say that the CE stuff will be tied to the retail code that will be given once payment is processed. Early access codes seem to be given out like candy, but it will only last till 30th of Aug at the very latest, so SqEx probably don't care.

I was right: see http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ctor-s-Edition

Ok good. I'm tired of this waiting around stuff so I was just going to get the EA off of PSN. Anyone who ordered from there in the last few days have any issues?

If it's only early access you are after... make sure you get it from a retailer that allows you to cancel.... ( ie. NOT greenmangaming )

Your other option is to import an EU copy of the game. You will have to do this with all future expansions as well. That means cancelling that NA copy you purchased as you wont be able to register it.

If you have a Playstation 3 and a PC. During the early access stage, you will be able to dual account your EU and NA account(as the 6 days(24-30 rumored) are free without billing info). You can transfer all items and coins from the EU acc to the NA acc.(assuming you able to enter behe) But yeah...

that won't work because the eu version of the game is region locked.

I can't believe there's still no update to this!! I'm so glad the cancel and re pre-order worked for me. They really are the worst company ever.
