Well
I am really curious with the right of passage
Manage to get best of both world hehe

Hmmm is more like a certificate that you have obtain that Collector Edition ><, ahhh i wish it was dog tags instead of silly paper written xD

yea i would assume so too
HOWEVER!!
it could be something you put for display~
i don't know lol!

let's frame it up on the wall xDDDDDDDDD

Btw, Kira-kun, you bought something from Amazon right?

Just wonder if Amazon ask you about verified your visa or master securecode?

I order FF there, they were not not asking about it, i hope it won't fail.

Lol guys! I just heard from one of the topic in FFxivcore about FF XIV gamecard (Prepaid card). Although he say is not a clear where there is a Prepaid card or not, he found it here (click me) , so let pray that is true and we can get to play the game without having to use our credit cards/visa debit! xD

a friend just told me.

"and i hear ebgames preorder comes with both the goggles and onion helm but it's $108 i think."

I have bought several items from Amazon (US) with no problems.

Yes, my card is linked to visa verified/securecode.

Yup no problem

Australia placed exclusive for EBGames that preordering AUS version, you get goggles

HOWEVER they did not mentioned anything for Onion Helm

It is safe to say it is a mistake at their end.

No one version can get both. And the codes are within the box.

The only way to get both items are by pre-ordering both edition.

This was clarified many times by the FFXIV officials....

Please note AUS/NZ games follow EU. Preorder should also be the same treatment

I think I will get the normal edition. The extras from collector ed does not seem useful at higher level.
Besides, this game should not be rushed to be completed hahahaha

if i buy EU version i cannot play on US servers right?

or is the game regional free?

region account lock meaning? sorry kinda noob question

1st page has more info

There is 3 official FF XIV site which are EU, NA, and JPN. You are able to register in any of the three site and log in-game playing with all people from all over the world that has registered under any of the 3 official site. But your account is lock to your regional site, meaning that if you register under EU, your account is EU Region, therefor is advice-able that you only get your client and expansion updates that only for EU version. Payment too will be made only to the EU, if you are bound to EU account that is.

That what it meant to be account region lock. Nevertheless you are still able to play with all the other people from NA, EU, JPN or where ever they are in one world (or realm if in WoW terms).


Sorry i didnt cover the region lock in front page xD i will update it soon... .

but if i buy ff14 eu version i can only register on EU region account right

hmmmmm

Yes, you can still be able to play with other people as long they are in the same server. Also is both EU and NA has is pro and cons.

NA
- Easy to get the game
- but payment is a problem to those who do not have 3D secure verified or those who had them may still having problem to bypass it.. (MAYBE).

EU
- A little bit hard to get the game
- Payment is easy even if we use VISA debit

Although this is just speculations because we're basing payment method with FF XI, but i seriuosly doubt now because they might include a game card/prepaid card for FF XIV xD.

that's right however I think they will change to penetrate the international market
Regardless I think bonus item is easier and cheaper provided if they give through magazines if they ever do for the NA
Those EU magazine are EXPENSIVE!

Good news!

official twitter @FF_XIV_EN announce the open beta coming soon

I'm going to say this because there's alot of repeated questions asked:

1. Please read the 1st page or read through the pages.
2. Please goggle FFXIV on news, info, etc.
