PC code confusion - clearing it up

[Smi77y]

I just made a Reddit post to help clear up confusion related to PC owners and all the various keys we are receiving/are supposed to receive (some pre orders haven't received their actual key yet, myself included).

I would however love some help adding to it if I missed anything.

And most of all, if you could answer me what your Mog Station Account Status says if you are 1.0 I'd greatly appreciate it. I think I preordered 2 copies and didn't need to, one was for a friend btw (I ordered for early access, but realize I could have just preordered/cancelled to get that code).

Hope this helps! I've spent countless hours trying to make sure I'm on top of it. And I feel I can help clear up almost all of the confusion for PC folks. If you have questions, please ask!

For reference, here's what my Mog Station looks like. I was a 1.0 owner who preordered a copy for early access. I'm yet to enter/have to enter a code into the new Mog Station. I only entered a code for early access via their old website.



I've reached my posting limit - sorry I can't answer more questions. :-(

Thank you, this was quite helpful. I think most are hung up on the fact that they think the 20 digit code is their game serial number. I went to Amazon.com where I ordered from and went to my game library and got my code there, just like all of my amazon digital purchases.

Yeah, it's really fairly basic. It's just the way they went about it I think. Most seemed to expect that preorder 20 digit code was their actual game code (myself included). And on top of that, people haven't received theirs yet so they assume they are good to go. In fact most people probably assume they are good to go until they won't be able to log in anymore. Haha.

Glad it seems useful! Thanks.

I'm having trouble putting my code into mog station. I bought it directly from Squeenix, Digital Download, and I played early access and everything. My code starts with RCWU, does that mean anything? Otherwise, it's saying the code is invalid.

When did you receive your code? Are you sure you aren't confusing it with your early access code? I think the C is for collectors btw. I'm unsure why it would say it's invalid unless it's the same code you entered for early access, though it doesn't appear to be. That's an answer I don't have. Sorry.

Well yeah I'm a 1.0 CE player, pre-ordered ARR for the hell of it. So i basicly have a copy to sell/give away? Got a digital key in the mail today.

I gotta code but on my mog station it only shows 1 character which isn't my main.. i have been scared to pay ever since <.>;

I have no clue what to do. Do I need a code if I'm a PS3 Legacy/Collections Edition User? I have no product code unless it comes physically with my purchase. If so, I will wait and see if a product code shows up.

Thanks for the write up!

If you are a 1.0 player, you get to play for free on the respective system you had it for (was FFXIV on PS3?). There won't be a code to enter, your account is simply active.

To be clear, if you played 1.0 on PC you get FFXIV ARR on PC.
