Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn

As long as the pre-order codes are working by Saturday there's nothing to worry about. The client is the same as the one from this weekend and if anyone doesn't already have it then the download speed is good on it anyway. Was pulling in around 9-10MB/s right after open beta registrations opened on Saturday just past so i don't imagine there'll be any problems.

Exactly. Doesn't matter yet at all.
 
Fair enough. Not really looked into how it works at higher levels.

Sorry just reread this and it sounds a bit snotty I'm not even levelling Thaumaturgist as my main -just wanted to point out that the game play changes considerably after the starter levels (however, I really hope the Arcanist isn't as OP at high levels as it in in phase 4 - you can fill every role other than AE tank with an Arcanist ATM)

erm I cancelled my preorder and had the refund (more because I don't think I would spend enough time playing the game not because I think it's a bad game)
and I just got an email

lol I wonder if they will send me a full retail key or maybe that's even the only key you get

You think that would work if someone else used it because I could really do with an early access code so I can keep up with my friend. Being a person who brought the first but didn't pay any subs to become legacy I have the game but no early access.

You don't need to be a legacy player to get early access, you only need to pre-order.

Sorry if I wasn't clear I just woke up. I was wondering if he is no longer getting the game and doesn't have any intention of playing it and still has the pre order code could someone else use it or would it be invalidated in some way because he cancelled his order.

I imagine anyone could use it, pre-order codes for MMO's have never been linked with the retail code that i've seen in the past, i used to pre-order MMO's from amazon then cancel them when the head start code came just so i could see if i wanted to buy the games. You can even buy the pre-order code online separate for around £2 from key sites like G2Play.
 
Thanks NZB that clears it up perfectly. :)

I have an original copy of FFXIV back from September 2010 so I don't get early access as I am not legacy nor a pre-order. Which is why I was wondering if arknor still had his code and was willing to part with it, could I take it as I would greatly appreciate being able to continue playing with my friend.
 
Subs will be from Square Enix's website but you'll need an account and have to buy the game (it does come with 30 days free). I bought direct from SE but sounds like the game is cheaper elsewhere - not sure if you can still get early access if you buy now though (early access is 10 am Saturday 24th whilst normal access is 27th)

Yep you can. I just got round to ordering on Amazon and the head start key came within minutes.

Edit - and entered on the site first time, including the second 20 digit key. Looks like they have it all up and running fine now.

If you're still having issues entering the pre-order code, clear your cache (Shift+reload in FF) on the code entry page - that worked for me.

You then get another code :P which you enter on the SE site which adds the preorder (plus bonuses) to your account.

Got an email that my CE has shipped today - can't wait!

Thanks for this mate, got it all sorted on mine now too! Saturday 9pm can't come quick enough!
 
do'h! forgot to restart my client download the other day. So the early access is scheduled for 10:00am on Sat ? gives me two days to download it on my super fast 200kbs pipe :(:p
 
This totally slipped past my radar. Looks very tempting indeed, shame there seems to be so little info/footage readily available.
I'm a sucker for early access and would almost certainly purchase right now if I wasn't away for most of this weekend. Hopefully everyone comes back with enough glowing reports next week to push me over the edge!
