Could be the early access code is universal since it uses its own separate site for registration, while the full game remains region locked.So an update on my situation. I yolo'd and bought the pre order from steam even though SE support told me not to. I got the keys and the early access key worked. so I guess it doesn't matter what region your account is as long as you buy the dlc from steam. However it absolutely matters when buying the base game.
Right. Could also just wait closer to early access date if you don't need the earrings right now.There's really no point in preordering ShB (digitally) before 3/1, right, b/c that's when the preorder bonuses are delivered? I want to wait to see if GMG puts it up at a discount
That's what I thought, thanks. I would prefer having the earrings sooner rather than later. It looks like with StB GMG put up preorders only a few days after SE did at a 22% discount, so I'm holding out hope that they'll put it up before 3/1Right.

So I resubbed last night for the first time in 3 years. When I last played, Void Ark was the new hotness. I never finished the MSQ of HW but I got pretty far (2 combat jobs to lv60)...
It's overwhelming coming back after so long. I knew it would be, but still. Even though I still have muscle memory for some of the hotkeys and I still remember my way around some of the maps... I think I spent over an hour just rebuilding my UI and looking at skill changes... just for 2 jobs...
I really have no idea what's worth doing anymore. I don't have Stormblood yet, but my main goal for now I think is to get caught up on the HW MSQ, finish leveling one or two more jobs from mid 50s to 60, then work on all my DoH/DoL... if I am still engaged in a few weeks I will need to decide either to get Stormblood to start on that before summer, or, if my rate of progress is slower than I'm expecting, just wait and get it later when it's cheaper.
I'm not really asking for an item-by-item breakdown but any suggestions for what to focus on or ignore for now? Besides catching up on MSQ and daily roulette stuff for the bonuses and leveling.
The code is registered on mogstation. The same way the expansion codes are registered so there is hope I guess.Could be the early access code is universal since it uses its own separate site for registration, while the full game remains region locked.
so Friday we are getting a livestream
if preorders for StormBringer are avaliable then is it possible to put down the full amount
never did any of the expansions, just used to play ARR before Heavensward or StormBlood so I have a few questions
did preorders happen for those too?
if you preordered StormBlood before it came out and gave the full amount would you get acess to Heavensward before StormBlood's release?
if anyone can answer it will be truly appreciated
thanks guys
You'll have to look out for them on Ebay come July is my guessIs there ANY way to get the cards outside of the preorder for $200?
thanksYou can pay now on most platforms. Remember if you bought the game through steam you need to buy the expansion through steam, and if you bought it through the SE Store or other PC outlet you cannot buy the expansion on steam (it counts as a different platform on mogstation for whatever reason).
Pre-orders happened for other expansions yeah
You do not get access to Heavensward or Stormblood until the end of June according to FFXIV Twitter. The reason they give is that someone could request a refund. My advice would be to buy Stormblood separately (you can find it really cheap) if you want to play through those expansions now.
Probably on eBay for $200 separated from the CE.Is there ANY way to get the cards outside of the preorder for $200?
Pretty exciting, this is the first time I get to experience an expansion launch for any MMO, much less FFXIV.
Or Pipin extreme
Did you order through the SE store? After you do your order, in order history you can reveal a key. You take that key and plug it into the Shadowbringers special early access site, then take the code that site gives you and plug it into your mog-station account.Anyone remember when Stormblood product keys went out? Did my pre-order today, and it just says "Available 7-2", but it would have to be earlier than that for the early access.
Honestly if that happens I'm just gonna gather or craft or something and get ahead on the marketboard lol I'm not gonna waste hours of time clicking on a prompt that won't work xD

The full game code won't come out till launch. The early access code should be enough to play the game till a few days after launch.Both codes? I got the early access code, but there's still no code for Shadowbringers itself.
I guess I'm a little confused because you had saidBoth codes? I got the early access code, but there's still no code for Shadowbringers itself.
as if you weren't already confirmed as being in early access. But anyways I'm pretty sure you only get the early access code now and the game code a bit later. I kind of remember them sending you your full expansion code when it ships.

Im gonna be shocked if the shard system doesn't burn and crash during launch. They may be launching it a month ahead, but the true test will be when the server congestion is at peak levels during launch.you can just hop into another server and clear the quest there if your server's too congested though
that starts in june though right?The full game code won't come out till launch. The early access code should be enough to play the game till a few days after launch.
Yeah early access starts last week in June.that starts in june though right?
guess I can just do this and play the base game till then... had some stuff still left over and I can always just make a new character
We'll see how it goes, but the servers themselves held up pretty well during Stormblood's launch aside from the duty server issues. Hell, it was probably the most packed some zones have been considering most of the at-cap population only had access to The Fringes and The Peaks.Im gonna be shocked if the shard system doesn't burn and crash during launch.

I already have my Gathering/Crafting XP scrolls ready for when the instanced/Duty Finder servers explode during Early Access.
