I'm seriously leaning towards this option when Adoulin is released, unless SE drops the bomb and says: yea can play the entire expansion from the start (which afaik they said you wouldn't be able to).

Yeah, I'm sure you'll be there day one.

Yea... no.

Does anyone know if the the hat and body piece are separate codes from the ultimate collection or if they're tied to the game code? I'm wanting the hat and body piece for myself, but my wife is the one that needs the collector's edition for ASA.

Last collection the hat was separate, no idea for this one.

**Fawkes** · 2013-03-19 10:35

Expansions, hat, and shirt are 3 separate codes. SE's site gave me the codes for the hat and shirt already.

Yeah, item codes are separate from the game they come with- which is how people were *ahem* selling Destrier Berets back in the day.

Anyone know if ordering from Amazon will give you a separate download? Or will they just give you a code and you download the expansion along with the update through POL?

I don't think you can download the whole expansion from POL anyway? I think the download is outside of it.

**Elizara** · 2013-03-19 14:54

I'm guessing you're just dling a install file, this is a full expansion after all.

**Cairthenn** · 2013-03-19 14:58

Amazon's download lists 12GB for some reason which, obviously, makes no sense.

Edit: Oh, never mind, they're using the required space as the download size. Yeah, will most likely just be an installer from 3rd party sites.

Did they send it to you via email? I don't recall seeing anyone wearing the chocobo shirt yet and I'm scanning my mailbox and seeing nothing.

**TacoTaru** · 2013-03-19 16:06

I don't the shirt will even be in the game until the next update.

**Chamaan** · 2013-03-19 16:13

Oh wow they're separate codes? I might have to check in with people I know and see if anybody's got an extra Destrier Beret code they don't want. I want that hat~

It was on my order confirmation page and in the confirmation email. The shirt code said it was expired when I tried to enter it, probably can't be redeemed until the expansion is out.

**Tarage** · 2013-03-19 17:55

Wait what? I got nothing in my e-mail. Did I buy the wrong thing?

Product Name: FINAL FANTASY XI: ULTIMATE COLLECTION SEEKERS EDITION [PC DOWNLOAD] (Pre-Ordered)

**Fawkes** · 2013-03-19 19:54

That's the right thing. I wouldn't worry, they should show up with your key for the expansion.

Spoiler: show

**Jeryhn** · 2013-03-19 20:07

Do Amazon pre-orders also get item codes?

**Rhinox** · 2013-03-19 20:11

yes

**Jeryhn** · 2013-03-19 20:14

I assume those codes will come on release day then, or something?

**Rhinox** · 2013-03-19 20:17

yeah.
