Have 1.0 collectors, just bought standard ARR - QuestionFollow

Hello all!

I have the original 1.0 collectors edition and bought the standard ARR edition yesterday to get early access.

Does anyone know if I can use the early access code (as well as the Cait Sith and Moogle Hat codes) on my original 1.0 CE account?

Thank you.

I'm EU. I assume I change the NA to EU?

I just used the code in the 1.0 CE, and it didn't work. Anyone know if I'm doing something wrong?

Pre-ordering the game gets early access and the Cait Sith pet and Moogle hat.

You don't get those with 1.0 CE

If you had 1.0 CE you get all the items for 2.0

I'm getting mixed answers.

Do I get early access and the bonus items as a player who has 1.0 CE and is a legacy player?

Yes Dismo, You get both.

Ok, This is how it is;

Legacy Member = Early Access

1.0 CE = You get the 2.0 SE items (Helm of Light, Coeurl Mount, Behemoth Barding, Baby Behemoth Minion) , Not the standard edition items (Moogle Hat, Cait Sith pet)

Why would you buy a game you already own just for 3 days of access?

He already has CE, he gets that stuff anyway. So anyone else who purchases ARR CE gets the month, the goodies and the early access. He gets half as much time, goodies he was already going to get and early access.

I guess it just doesn't make sense to me. I mean sure it's his money and he can do what he wants with it, but the 2 extra weeks isn't why he's getting it.

"Players Who Own the FFXIV version 1.0 Collector’s Edition
Players who own the FFXIV version 1.0 Collector’s Edition will receive the FFXIV: ARR Collector’s Edition in-game bonus items (Helm of Light, Baby Behemoth Minion, Behemoth Barding, and Coeurl Mount) for free. The in-game bonus items will be delivered via Moogle Letter when FFXIV: ARR launches."

I don't get early access as I am not a legacy player, even though I bought and played the game at release in 2010, I just didn't stay long enough to pay for 3 months of sub.

I don't get the Moogle hat or the Cait Sith bonus, either.

The site doesn't state the pre-order bonus' are not available for people who originally bought 1.0 and no one seems to know the answer.

Yeah, I was just separating what he already has and what he will get if he pre-orders the game.


Given that FFXIV 1.0 already had an early access associated with it, it's doubtful that early access would be granted again. You have to be legacy or pre-order the game to get it this time around.

It doesn't really bother me, but it does seem like a bit of a cash grab. Same goes for the minions associated with extending the period of your subscription. As much of a problem as people here generally have with F2P and the stigma of P2W, this really isn't any different.

That kinda goes without saying. Anyone who pre-orders the game gets early access. Why would they exclude people who already paid them once?
