FFXIV 2.0 Random Speculation/Question Thread XII: End Of An Era - ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!

[Ratatapa]

Just checking, is the preorder early access code the same as the serial number/product code? I received only one code in the 6-3-6-3 format after ordering from SE.

This is what I got from ebgames

[Thesuspect]

I physically went to GameStop and they printed me a receipt no problem with an access code. It starts with VAJEYA- however. Looks legit with redemption instructions etc.

[Gokulo]

Anyone have a link to the whole FAQ think they did on the forums about buying ARR, pre-order, which version for what etc.? Because I have friends asking a lot of questions and I don't remember all the intricacies of this fucked up system

[Thesuspect]

[Gokulo]

That's awesome thanks :D
I also found the topic I was thinking about, but one of my friends asked a question which I don't see answered anywhere.
Is it possible to add the standard edition key to 1.0 CE account for early access/items? I assumed not, but I'm not 100% sure.

There are two keys:
-Game registration key
-Preorder bonuses key

The first one has limitations as we all know (can't use a CE PC key on a 1.0 account, etc), the second one has no limitations that we know of (can be applied to any account).

[Thesuspect]

I'm under the impression that you cannot add a second PC code to your 1.0 account. If you have 1.0 CE but your not legacy your boned i think. You have to pre order a ps3 copy for early access.

The bolded part is right, but the rest is wrong. The preorder code and the game registration code (what you refer to as "PC code") are separate.

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.

What codes are included when pre-ordering the collector's edition?

1. A single code to activate one service account and receive the collector's edition digital bonus items.
2. A single pre-order code required for early access and to receive the pre-order bonus items.

If you already have a service account, the pre-order code can be used with it if you choose to do so.

[Gokulo]

Thanks for that! Good to know

What is the current speculation for the phase 4 to start? I know nothing official has been announced just curious if the majority thought it will be this upcoming weekend or the weekend before early access

Two dates seem to be ciculating, one is around the 8th the other is the 17th ish. Still waiting to hear.

[Gokulo]

Stop speculating, wait 2 more days when they are supposed to announce it, geez

[Buffy]

I personally suspect the 16th in Japan for Phase 4 Beta, which would be the 15th in the US. Early access starting around the 23rd.

I look forward to being wrong in a 100 different ways.

I was assuming 9,10,11 beta, Give them a week and a half to fine tune and early access on the 21st

[supercoco]

a week is a lot for an early access. Didnt they say it would be just a few days anyways?

[Eurell]

Useless speculation!

I'd imagine early release will be 3-4 days. Release is on a Tuesday, so they will probably give us access on the Friday or Saturday before.

If you level scholar to 35 or 40 to play SMN, then you play as summoner to 50. Your Scholar level will automatically go to 50 as well right? Will that also give you a lvl 50 Arcanist?

Yes. You'll still have to do the quests for Class/Job specific abilities though.

Edit: Just to clear things up. Arcanist is the base class from which SMN and SCH branch off. At Lv30 you'll be able to unlock those 2 jobs and whatever EXP you earn on either one will be shared amongst all 3.

I've seen people use the term "spec" from WoW to explain the transition from class to job.

I agree. I keep myself in the state of mind that I won't be able to play till launch day on the 27th. If I get to play earlier than it's a blessing. That way I won't be disappointed if I don't get to play when we thought we would be able to.

[Adajer]

I really hope they change the way job level and class level link. It seems pretty stupid to have all jobs leveling up that are linked to one class. It would be better to have your highest lvl job sync with the class it branches from and every job strting at lvl 30 when unlocked. It would be really stupid to have new jobs come out in expansion packs and automatically be lvl 50, i.e. samurai if it comes off lancer and you have lnc/drg leveled.

Probably been talked about before. Just crossed my mind.
