Hi.
For the BG onry folks; Not sure how much yall been following the 20th anniversary money grab merch, but some of it is pretty nifty, albeit expensive. I was really interested in the JP onry Plate/Plaque that they have, so I wanted to figure out how to get that ordered. I tried hitting up several proxy services, but JapanRabbit was the only one who came through as confident they could do it.
I give 100% endorsement to https://japanrabbit.com/ go sign up there and get your plate ordered. It came out to about $90 for the item with shipping later to be determined. They were so very helpful and ensured everything was how it was supposed to be before filling in the additional information too. Great experience with them in general. You have until Jan 22nd to do this.
Here is a cheat sheet to get you going.
The full list of plates can be found at https://ebten.jp/dengeki/1760?shopLower=1 and there are three versions of plates times the number of races and their M/F differences (eight), which would be 24 total plates. Be sure to select the appropriate one.
Once you have the version and race selected, you will then select the face type you want, they have that guide on each plate page, and when you select that face type in the drop down the URL of the page will change to link specifically to it. So this is the URL you will want to use to purchase the product. Copy/paste it into another tab to confirm. For example, https://ebten.jp/dengeki/p/s/4582698052197 should bring you to Ver.C plate, Tarutaru M, face type 6-A.
After adding the product in to the JapanRabbit cart, it will ask you for additional information. You will need to give it a title (FINAL FANTASY XI 20th ANNIVERSARY PLATE Adventurer's Footprints Ver.C Tarutaru M Face Type 6-A), fill in the amount of JPY it costs (10780), and any additional information to help with the purchase.
This part is key for them to understand that a separate email will be sent out afterwards, and additional information needs to be filled out. You can mention to them that reading the process here https://dengekionline.com/feature/FF...eki/index.html and here https://dengekionline.com/feature/FF...eki/howto.html should help get a better understanding of what all is needed.
To expedite the process, give this information to them in your order:
PlateType:
FaceType(顔タイプ):
Name(キャラネーム):
Linkshell(リンクシェル):
World(ワールド):
HomeNation(国):
Race(種族):
MainJob(メインジョブ):
As we see in Tarage's example over at FFXIAH https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/5...ork/2/#3652185, the Name (キャラネーム) and Linkshell (リンクシェル) fields are English character free text, World (ワールド) is English character drop down, and HomeNation (国), Race (種族), and MainJob (メインジョブ) are Japanese text drop downs.
To make it easier for you, here are the possible JP options:
Kingdom of Sandoria サンドリア王国
Federation of Windurst ウィンダス連邦
Republic of Bastok バストゥーク共和国
Hume ヒューム
Elvaan エルヴァーン
Tarutaru タルタル
Mithra ミスラ
Galka ガルカ
Job names can be found here at BGwiki https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Category:Jobs
Here is a full example:
PlateType: Ver.C Tarutaru Male
FaceType(顔タイプ): 6-A
Name(キャラネーム): Billybob
Linkshell(リンクシェル): BobsSundries
World(ワールド): Asura
HomeNation(国): バストゥーク共和国
Race(種族): タルタル
MainJob(メインジョブ): 竜騎士
That should be it! Go forth and order your expensive JP Etsy plate! After you place the order, an agent may follow up with additional questions/status. It took them two days for the whole thing to go through as they work in JST, the additional email that gets sent out after the order is placed didn't immediately get sent out to them, and they had a question of clarification. After that though they sent me a confirmation that everything was successful with the information that I wanted on the plate.
