Early AccessFollow

Has anyone that ordered directly from SE receive their early access code? I understand that those who ordered from Amazon have already received theirs.

Yes, I already got the Amazon code. I'm actually surprised it would take much longer on the main site.

I ordered two from SE and got both codes
I ordered one from Amazon and have NOT got the code yet. I emailed amazon about it.

I assumed that was the product key for my copy of the game.

It was implied that the early access code was something else that I didn't have yet but would receive later. Admittedly, it also thanked me for purchasing A Real Reborn (sic)... so it may not have been entirely accurate.

So, I can't speak for anyone who got a "Digital" copy of the game. I pre-ordered three (3) physical copies of the game. Here is what I know.

I got codes from both, SE and Amazon that are the same.

I got two copies from SE, the limit, to support the cause directly. So, there is a button for a Download. That DL is a PDF containing this:



That is a "link" where you can enter your email, to "sign up" to be notified when you can enter your codes to be a part of early access. See this quote:

On amazon, when you get your order comfirmation they send to your email you get the direct link: http://preorder.na.finalfantasyxiv.com This is what they say:


As for the codes. I ordered two copies from SE and one from amazon. The "Product Registration" of the physical copies will be in the game itself. If you got a digital copy, I don't know how that will work. however, the codes from the pre-order bonus and DL might look the same. So, for me, SE gave me two codes that follow the same format as Amazon does..

SE Codes: XXXXXX-###-XXXXXX-###
XXXXXX-###-XXXXXX-###

Amazon Code: XXXXXX-###-XXXXXX-###

So, I can assume that those are the preorder codes that I enter when SE contacts me, via email, from the link I signed up to be notified by email from, see above.

Does that help anyone or did I ramble on about nothing? I'm different because I ordered from two different places who gave me similar results. I can assume that what I wrote above it how it works and the process going forward. I have not reason to believe otherwise. The biggest takeaway for the bonus stuff is that you will be told when to enter your codes. Also that you can pre-order from amazon.com, get the code, and cancel your order... lol How will they stop you from doing that just to get the code?

So, I'm confused I ordered from SE..downloaded the useless PDF and signed up for beta.

Am I missing something? I just want to play! *waaaa*

Haha still no luck? You've been trying to get in since before phase 2 ^^

Figured, okay- so i am up to date.



/phew

Phase 2's ..... access to Gridania .... has always been over a weekend. While I think Yoshi suggested he may extend beta test times for phase 3+ later, they'd start over weekends.

I do not know if it is common knowledge or its under NDA but i can at least say they will extend the test time. Don't want to say how long in case its under NDA.

In addition to the early access code that Amazon sent me, I received an email today informing me that Amazon has changed the shipping date for my PS3 CE from 8/29 to 8/27.

Thank you for clarifying the whole preorder code. I thought I had not found the page, but alas, my email has been rendered and I await
news of early access. Sigh...

The 27th is launch date so they will charge you then. As for the preorder codes there will be a special site up for that I think before early access they said.
