Can anyone who has registered their 12-digit PS3 code look under the Services List option on the console to see what it says under the FFXIV tab.

I got "Final Fantasy XIV Beta 4 Playing Entitlement (Provisional)" since I added a Beta 4 code. I'm thinking early access codes also add another service, which is how they will check if you're eligible to play this weekend.

Mine says...
-FFXIV ARR Early Access
along with beta

 

[Meia]

yeah thats the CE stuff.

Now, I bought the digital CE from GMG, but didn't have those things appear. Double Hrm.

 

[Ricck]

I have a feeling someones made a mistake at their end.. wouldn't surprise me.

with the way it's been going, i wouldn't be surprised as well

 

[Zomba13]

Why's it showing up in my list? Have SE made a mistake. (i'm not complaining but it's weird)

Did you also have the Onion Helm listed? I think I read somewhere that that is the flag for the CE items so if someone didn't want the helm and gave it to you then you'll get the CE items.

 

[Baleoce]

Also, SE need to stop this guff where they have 10 different sites that all do something slightly different, and just unify them all into one big service that's more coherent.

 

[Khrno]

I believe that is the case yeah. 1.0 CE people get automagically upgraded to first class seats in ARR. Whereas we (those who actually bought 2.0 CE) have to wait presumably for some reason, because SE love doing things backwards and it would have been too difficult for them to just send us a CE code, or something. Either way, I'm sure it'll just work itself out. There's enough of us in the same boat for it to not be a coincidence.

Hey, I bought ARR's CE too, I just happened to also have bought 1.0's CE.

 

[Cmagus]

meh still not working for me still getting error 3.

 

[The Wraith]

I preordered the collectors edition of the game but none of the CE items are popping up for me. C'mon SE get your shit together...

 

[dino1980]

Im getting "Error2: There was a problem. Please try again later", is this because of the registration page is getting hammered?

 

[Khrno]

Wait, how'd you get the CE items to pop up?

1.0's CE


People seem to not understand that early access codes have nothing to do with the Collector's Edition.

When you receive your CE on the post (or email with the code if digital), then you'll be able to register your CE.

 

[Baleoce]

Hey, I bought ARR's CE too, I just happened to also have bought 1.0's CE.

I'm not sure why you take that as a dig when it's just being descriptive for people who are having the same issue..

1.0's CE

Right.. that's why my wife's only says Beta Test (Windows) under permanent because I have yet to apply the 1.0 key.

 

[kiryogi]

Got mah code in, got mah goodies. READY TO GO.

 

[vazel]

Woot, I got my mog cap. I like Moogles.

What would've been better is if it were a Chocobo cap. I like Chocobos even more.

 

[Stabattack]

I preordered the collectors edition of the game but none of the CE items are popping up for me. C'mon SE get your shit together...

You'll need to register the CE code that comes with the game for that stuff to pop up.

 

[Bacon_Boss]

So i imagine i have a EU 20 digit code, or possibly a US one for my (incorrectly) EU version of the game... how do i confirm which i've got?

Edit: I bought on Amazon US but i entered my pre order code yesterday when the system was wonky.

 

[Yondy604]

This is the page I last saw, I never clicked the download link because I already had the client lol.

Don't tell me that the 20 digit key came on the download link.

 

[Kule]

Did you also have the Onion Helm listed? I think I read somewhere that that is the flag for the CE items so if someone didn't want the helm and gave it to you then you'll get the CE items.

I don't think I had it. I had 1.0 beta, retail 1.0 normal edition, garlond goggles, asuran armbands and arr beta, under that it listed the CE items and legacy whistle.
I'd take a screen shot if I could get back to the page.

 

[UrSuLeTzU]

Got my freaking early access code after half a day of the "please try again" crap, ugh. Just 3 more days.. My PRECIOUS, sooo close!!!!

 

[Khrno]

Right.. that's why my wife's only says Beta Test (Windows) under permanent because I have yet to apply the 1.0 key.

Exactly, if people never receive their games for whatever reason, or because they actually didn't buy the games and just stole the early access codes from Amazon or something, they won't be able to play from much longer.

SE already confirmed this, there's a time frame where you'll be able to play the game just with the EA code, but if you don't register the game then you won't be able to continue playing. No exact time was given, but my guess is either 1 or 2 weeks after the 27th.

 

[Pejo]

So I noticed that when i log in to my SE account on the pre-order site, it does not require my security token. Is this a different SE account than everything else i've been using for SE? I want to make sure i don't have to mess with linking my accounts later...

 

[Baleoce]

I don't understand why they couldn't have just sent out a separate key from the store you bought it from for 2.0 CE buyers, instead of packing it in the physical box.

 

[Ricck]

This is the page I last saw, I never clicked the download link because I already had the client lol.

Don't tell me that the 20 digit key came on the download link.

No it came before that page, you had to enter it to get where you are...no?

 

[theSlacker]

Here is something else odd. After registering I decided to look at my account info on that site, and has me listed as the wrong gender. When I try to update it, it says I have an :invalid username" for the nickname field that I didn't change.

Gotta catch a flight in 2 hours, I don't have time for this shit.

 

[Goli]

I purchased FFXIV via PSN and didn't have to go through this terrible process of waiting for the code to be emailed and such, yay!

 

[cheststrongwell]

Do I need a new code if I bought 1.0 in the past?

 

[Dog food is delicious]

Exactly, if people never receive their games for whatever reason, or because they actually didn't buy the games and just stole the early access codes from Amazon or something, they won't be able to play from much longer.

So I don't need to worry about the 1.0 code for right now? She'll be able to use the EA code and play Saturday?

 

[Sblargh]

Looks like you are good to go.

 

[dino1980]

Anyone?

 

[Khrno]

Yes, but both accounts are tied, it's just a shit system.

When you get the 20-digit code, you will get prompted to log in to the usual account site, the one that requires the one-time password.

 

[Yondy604]

No it came before that page, you had to enter it to get where you are...no?

Wait a second, I apparently can't count.

I did enter the 20 digit code, but it never gave me the CE stuff, just the mog cap and other thing. Should I be worried?

 

[vazel]

But you have the blurry 20fps version. =/

 

[Ferrio]

So.... will anything change on your account.square-enix.com page?

Damn too many profile pages...

 

[Noi]

I applied my PS3 code on the account but didn't have a new client pop up on my download list, though "Early Access" shows up on my Services List. Does that mean we can use the same client from Phase 4 for Early Access?

 

[Khrno]

So I don't need to worry about the 1.0 code for right now? She'll be able to use the EA code and play Saturday?

Yeah, the early access code is all people (besides Legacy accounts) need to play on Saturday. Then next week when you get the game make sure to register it.

 

[SoopaMan2K]

Question about GC/FC: I know the difference, but when it comes to PVP, what determines the Company you're fighting for? I'm thinking you choose GC(Personal Choice) because its apart of your story line, but when your FC Leader chooses the Company for your FC, that's the Company you fight for when it comes to PVP.

Do I have this right? Can someone explain this better? Thanks!

Also some good info here about Jobs.

 

[Pejo]

Yes, but both accounts are tied, it's just a shit system.

When you get the 20-digit code, you will get prompted to log in to the usual account site, the one that requires the one-time password.

Cheers, thanks for the info! Man it's something to see that SE still hasn't made things easier for paying customers than the old playonline days. Different, for sure, but no easier.

 

[Ricck]

Wait a second, I apparently can't count.

I did enter the 20 digit code, but it never gave me the CE stuff, just the mog cap and other thing. Should I be worried?

I think we are receiving them later...I did not receive mine also, like a lot of people.

 

[Baleoce]

Wait a second, I apparently can't count.

I did enter the 20 digit code, but it never gave me the CE stuff, just the mog cap and other thing. Should I be worried?

Nope. Everyone's in the same boat. Only people who get the CE content straight away are the people who bought the 1.0 CE. We get a code apparently when our box turns up, or if you're a digital buyer, presumably an email.

 

[Khrno]

Should I be worried?

No. Read my posts above.

 

[Sin]

Yay, redeemed code finally. Can't wait for Friday! (or is it Saturday?)

I can't register it still! :/

What's your name on Excalibur, Kyoufu?

 

[Khrno]

Cheers, thanks for the info! Man it's something to see that SE still hasn't made things easier for paying customers than the old playonline days. Different, for sure, but no easier.

This week, or next week, the Mog Station site should go live, which supposedly is going to replace all these horrible SE account management sites, we shall see.

 

[Yondy604]

You guys gotta admit, it's kind of scary that they will send out the "main games" CD key the day before launch, if they have ANY problems, people might not be able to play on day 1

Thanks phierce. Guess I won't be able to try out the PS3 version this weekend since the preorder page spat out a PC code instead of a PS3 one.

 

[Goli]

But you have the blurry 20fps version. =/

If they had a Mac version I'd play it in all of its beauty, but they don't and I hate having to go to my Windows partition, so PS3 it is!

Well, I wonder if there is any grace period planned. I mean, people that ordered FROM SQUARE have to rely on Digital River to get their games, which is no small feat.

Exactly, if people never receive their games for whatever reason, or because they actually didn't buy the games and just stole the early access codes from Amazon or something, they won't be able to play from much longer.

Ah, cool. I hadn't seen that confirmation. Good to know.

Thank god, because currently there are far too many.

Nothing could possibly go wrong, this is SE we're talking about.

PS: PSN still says my code is invalid lol

No.... Read my posts above.


It is still scary if the postman loses your parcel tho.

Really? That's what they're doing? I though the 18 digit key was the main game's key. :/
