rosythorns4 Posted March 17, 2015 Share #52 Posted March 17, 2015 Ok, so, I just got a call back from an NA gamestop employee trying to tell me physical CE is going to be an online SE store exclusive, can anyone confirm this... based on that forum post linked earlier it sounded like just a EU issue? I mean personally I'd like to have it day of and not have to pay an extra 86 dollars just to have it 8 - 10 days after the fact. Link to comment
Aldotsk Posted March 17, 2015 Share #53 Posted March 17, 2015 I got two copies now. So I don't know how many more there are for collectors edition. /sorrynotsorry But it still is up for pre order for those who want CE. People can also grab PS4 version of it if they wish. Ps4 version works for the console and PC Link to comment

I mean personally I'd like to have it day of and not have to pay an extra 86 dollars just to have it 8 - 10 days after the fact. I can conferm from a square tech support worker that the physical CE is a square online store exclusive. No gamestop, no amazon. But the digital will be avalible from psn, steam (for steam versions of the game only), and regular venders with an update option added to the mog station later. Link to comment
Aduu Avagnar Posted March 17, 2015 Share #55 Posted March 17, 2015 probably because when ARR CE got released some places listed it cheaper than the SE store... Link to comment

Nebbs Posted March 17, 2015 Share #58 Posted March 17, 2015 EU players being screwed over in MMO's isn't anything new sadly. Heck, Blizzard were silly enough to increase the price of their already expensive paid services over in WoW not too long ago. With that said, I don't particularly care much for the physical edition. It'd be nice, but there's countless other things I could buy with £130. I'll be getting the pre-order digital deluxe edition instead since I really want the in-game rewards above all else. Yes that's my view also Link to comment

Kage Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share #61 Posted March 17, 2015 Maybe change the subject name? Because no one else had issues when the subject changed on the first page? but ok. EU players who still may want to pay buttloads of money! Store should be up at 9:45 British time. .... as of 5 hours ago. Two hours ago, maint still on-going. Link to comment
Aris Posted March 17, 2015 Share #62 Posted March 17, 2015 ARGH! I can't believe SE screwing EU players over like that. It's absolute BS! Thank GOD that the PS4 isn't region locked!!! If the store would even log me in... **EDIT** Will I even be able to install the game in the UK?? I know PS4 games aren't region locked but doesthat apply to FFXIV?? According to the SE EU twitter, the codes are region locked I believe. Scroll down a bit here: https://mobile.twitter.com/square_enix_eu UK/EU codes are the same but US aren't. Link to comment

Steel Wolf Posted March 17, 2015 Share #64 Posted March 17, 2015 So I was able to slice my way through the mire and get my physical CE order in. Just wanting to compare notes with anyone else who may have been able to do so as well. Time of order, Squee had put a pre-auth of 50 cents on my account for the 24 hour period. This morning, the pre-auth is gone. No full charge. Presumably--and I believe they did this with the original box as well--they'll be hitting my card for the full amount when its near the date of EA. Not ideal, frankly but...then again, this company has always handled its back-end stuff poorly. Anyone else able to get through and can confirm this is what went down as well? Link to comment
Kage Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share #65 Posted March 17, 2015 I honestly didn't check my account or not. Some places put tiny holds that disappear and sometimes the banks do that themselves. If anyone still doesn't know, EU physical is in fact £130 Edit in terms of charging, all my preorders from anywhere charge full price at time of shipment. Link to comment
Kage Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share #66 Posted March 17, 2015 Digital Collector's Edition pre-orders are now available on the SE EU store! Link to comment
Velaena Posted March 17, 2015 Share #67 Posted March 17, 2015 Does anyone know where on earth the physical collector's or the digital collector's editions are for the PS4? Link to comment
Kage Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share #68 Posted March 17, 2015 Does anyone know where on earth the physical collector's or the digital collector's editions are for the PS4? All physical collector's will be in store at the date/time mentioned earlier for EU. For digital someone told me that it'll be in the PSN store when that happens. Link to comment
rosythorns4 Posted March 17, 2015 Share #69 Posted March 17, 2015 just called gamestop they said they now have a price for the boxed one listed, but currently do not have a way to preorder it as they cannot pull anything from their site. As stated, they do have a SKU, however. They'd stated that, given square's track record it might have to be paid in full day of preorder, rather than like most other games. They're showing a listing of 150 for it, which, given the shipping costs I saw from SE's website, I'd still be saving about, what, 60 dollars for the same 8-10 shipping period bullshit? They even offered for me to pay an extra 10 dollars to have it shipped straight to my house within that 8-10 day period after release, so... my money might be going to a vendor, especially given the bonus prize of the cloth it comes with Hell, I still have that cloth from gamestop's release of ARR Link to comment

Kage Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share #71 Posted March 18, 2015 PSA EU PSA on Pre-Order Code vs. Early Access code The pre-order code is used on a specific website to get the Early Access code. You will not get a pre-order code if you order on the SE Store. Instead, you get the Early Access code directly, about 30 minutes after you get the purchase confirmation mail. You can enter that code directly in your mog station, or on the PSN Store if you ordered the PS4 version. You will receive another email notifying you when you can redeem your Early Access code. After your Early Access code was sent, you can also see it here: http://eu.square-enix.com/en/account/ by clicking "View your FFXIV Heavensward early access" on the right side of the screen. ... wtf is up with the Eu store mang Link to comment
Sahb Posted March 18, 2015 Share #72 Posted March 18, 2015 I got the e-mail about 10 minutes after I ordered the box, just enough time to mourn my wallet's contents. Not being able to enter the key is a touch frustrating, you would have thought if they had the keys generated then you'd be able to redeem them but...c'est la vie. Link to comment
Kage Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share #73 Posted March 18, 2015 They probably have some poorly done system where they will allow pre-order codes to get validated, put in, and it allows for certain things to get ticked into the system already. Too early. I will say though, I definitely can see why UK players are so upset. If what people said were true, you would think UK can get EU pricing. I'm not too surprised though that it is 129 GBP and 129 USD. It's similar (I think) to when Sony launched the vita and when its price dropped. 249 USD, 249 GBP. Dropped to 199 USD and 199 GBP iirc. Once I got over the NA store hassle and accidentally pre-ordered an extra CE physical, I emailed their support yesterday. They refunded it no hassle even though I had validated my code on the other one. No fuss. Link to comment
Ilwe'ran Posted March 18, 2015 Share #74 Posted March 18, 2015 It's 129€ too. No conversion for physical but they did for the downloadable one. WTF. Link to comment
