Wah so nice! When?

web page there no pre-order yet. Hmm I see that most of the games out of stock... might be limited quantities.

Hi guys, if you're looking for boxed non CE versions, play-asia.com is available for pre-order.

Play-asia.com selling at USD34. http://www.play-asia.com/Final_Fantasy_XIV...en-70-59id.html

Ya, it's free shipping. 5 USD for shipping is not bad. From experience about 1 week. It's from HK and I stay in MY. Last time I ordered ffxiv 1.0 from them and they were late in getting the box in. I cancelled. (one thing good is that they allow you to cancel, your payment not charge until it ships for pre-order) And I bought from offgamers.com. Offgamers do not have box set, just codes.

Yes, the CE box items is very nice!!!

You'll see your game in Japanese too!

*important* pls note this.

You will receive the pre-order items, but the registration code for the Windows collector's edition cannot be used with a pre-existing Windows service account. To receive the in game items for the collector's edition, please use the digital upgrade.

Legacy status accounts are still treated the same as standard edition accounts in FFXIV:ARR, so If you have no interest in the physical items that come with the collector's edition, and have no intentions of playing on the PS3, using the digital upgrade will allow you to receive the collector's edition items with your current account.

A Square Enix account can hold up to 8 separate service accounts, but it should be noted that the pre-order bonuses can only be tied to a single service account, not to the entire Square Enix account.

If you purchase the collector's edition and register a new service account, your legacy account will not receive the collector's edition bonuses.

The collector's edition bonus items are included in the product code, so any registration of the product code to a specific service account would include all the bonus items solely to that service account. Pre-order bonus item codes however are separate and can be registered to any service account.

To simplify, if you own existing ffxiv 1.0 and wish to use CE box with your account, you need to buy PS3 versions and not PC versions! If you do not want the box items, and want in game items, just upgrade your copy to CE version later on.

I think the personal chochobo which fights alongside you uses different bardiing as it can have tank or healer roles then the one you ride.

FFXIV:ARR includes 30 free days of playtime with purchase for new accounts. However, even though players who own FFXIV Version 1.0 will receive FFXIV:ARR for free, this does not include the 30 free days of play.

Ho Ho! I'll gladly pay though! ^^

If digital download, my best bet would be offgamers.com. For box set, go via play-asia.com. IK would say as long as your code is valid, there is no worries about downloading as the downloading is from SE website.

ouch. I actually bought a few games from them before without any issues. eg Rift, Aion, FFXIV. Guess I'm lucky.

Oh so you did not get a refund? Dun let them get off the hook so easily!

WTF! That's a ripoff!

Thanks for that. Will keep that in mind.

Anyone from gugnir?

around may last year ffxiv 1.0 was much more playable and fun. I came back when legacy was offered and has been playing till server shutdown.

I was in ffxiv 1.0 beta, played for a while until SE started charging.

server shutdown on november last year. until now yes.

Can't remember but i think that was around may 2012. Was hooked since.
