Even though I'm Legacy I'm gonna be waiting with you guys... because I was going out this weekend anyway. >.>

If you paid for the original game back in 2010, but did not pay for 3 months of game time you do not qualify for early access.

If you paid for the original game and did pay for 3 months of game time (qualifying you for Legacy status) you qualify for Early Access.

If you pre-ordered the game and received a pre-order code, you qualify for Early Access.

To my knowledge the CE Upgrade is not available yet and won't be available until launch, so there is no way to preorder it.

I was hoping there was a way for 1.0 non-Legacy players to get early access without having to buy a new copy of the game
Preorder from Gamestop for $5, get your code, then cancel your preorder. I will shamelessly admit this is what I did.

Work tomorrow for me, as soon as I get home, sleep. Waking up at 4:00 and prepping for non-stop FF playing until Saturday night when I have to go to sleep. Church sunday xD

RE: Early Release on Saturday! - Moondoggie - 08-22-2013

The American crowd are getting all the insane start times for this XD. I couldn't do it. Starts about 9am my time. Enough time to have breakfast and take a shower before i get on to finally lock in my character and starting class.

Daaaaaamn only $5? I wouldn't mind losing that even if I couldn't cancel.

Where do you put your preorder code in?

I pre-order one of these two products?

I pre-ordered mine in store, though I think at this point it's too late to get the pre-order bonus unfortunately.

Is there any means of telling if you're a Legacy holder or not? I can't recall if I paid for three months for 1.0, but I know I played at least 3 months.
Also, if you were given access to the open beta on the 16th is that indicative that you are a legacy member or does that just mean you played in 1.0? I'm so confused trying to keep all this stuff straight... Dazed

RE: Early Release on Saturday! - AkhutaiAngura - 08-22-2013

There is a way. Hang on a moment and I'll see if I can't find the criteria again. 

Check back in a few.

alright, so to tell if you're a Legacy player or not.

Log into https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/Login?cont=account with your regular XIV account. 

Click select a service, then FFXIV. 

Somewhere ont hat screen.. I forget where, exactly, it should say 'Legacy'.

Aha! Found a picture. SCroll to the bottom.

RE: Early Release on Saturday! - Waffle Slayer - 08-22-2013

Damn. I'm not seeing the little logo, just the standard Final Fantasy XIV listing under services.
Guess that means I'm not a legacy member... is there any other way to get early access without pre-ordering? I don't want to buy a game again just to start three days early.

Depending on where you go, you don't have to buy to preorder.

Best Buy and Gamestop both take 5 dollar deposits to preorder. It doesn't require you to actually pay the rest of the game.. But, they still give you the codes.

Not sure if there are any codes left, though.

Yeah, but how would I use that with the copy/account I had from FFXIV 1.0? Wouldn't that code be for a new copy of the game?

RE: Early Release on Saturday! - Salty Lake - 08-22-2013

GameStop's website says they still will give you the code, but could just be old information.

I also got in on the 16th, but I think it was because I did phase 3.
