PS3 Early Access, this is how you checkFollow

#27 Aug 22 2013 at 8:50 PM Rating: Decent
So um. This is specifically something I'm thinking about, as I am a very OCD person. I wonder if we buy a normal version of the game (as a disc) And I did from amazon like a month ago. Thing is, if I do the collectors edition upgrade, I wont get the cool icon will I? Cause it's installing on my HDD and it appears to put the Normal Picture of dude with sword. -_- instead of cool arty painting when you digital copy that *****. I wonder if the icon even stays the same. Idk. I'm downloading to HDD now for early access. I'm super ocd and something like this can make or break with me. I hope the icon isn't the man with the word or any of that. like sometimes you dl a game digital on PSN, and it's a total different icon. I'll find out in a few seconds. Ugh. I just don't like pic of dude with sword. but I wanted a disc to the game. I guess if it is dude with sword and all purply It will suffice in only that it has some synergistic quality/symmetry with tha game case. (ocd)

I tried the square redeem site but the "redeem code" button does not seem to be functioning or its greyed out after clicking "PS3" for the system. All three things are listed under the sony menu though, I'm not sure if I should be doing something else. I did not receive an email regarding early access, just for a beta code last weekend when I wanted to try it.


Yeah if you bought on the 14th you should be somewhat worried. You could also rest assured, but I'm not gonna :P

I've got a couple questions about all of this as well. I pre-ordered PS3 CE from SE a few months ago. I got a confirmation email shorthly thereafter with my 18 digit code, along with instructions on registering my game, i.e. the link that only recently went active. In the email, it stated that I would receive another email when I could register for EA and all that jazz. I also recently received an email confirming that my order had shipped. My questions are:

1. All of the people who have successfully registered, did you receive the email telling you to register, prior to entering your code.
2. For those of you who did not receive emails, were you able to successfully enter the code and access PSN for EA?

Thanks & apologies if this isn't clear.Smiley: smile

I registered my preorder code yesterday and did not receive any confirmation until my e-mail came at 11 AM today. The web site just sat there so I did it twice hoping it worked... thankfully it did. I registered after receiving my e-mail.

My friend registered his preorder code over the phone with me moments ago and they gave him his PlayStation code immediately on the web site, with a note saying he would also get an e-mail. He registered immediately.

We were both able to redeem the codes successfully thanks to Shadowedge's instructions. THANK YOU!

I am downloading the new client in the background to be on the safe side, plus how cool would it be to to have 3 FFXIV installs ;) but I won't need it. The Open Beta client was able to handle everything.

Also we both bought from GameStop and the Moogle Cap and Cait Sith Doll items were listed next to the service account.

-----

Now for my question:

I noticed when associating the new service account that it showed only 1 of my 2 character's names (different worlds), and it was not my primary. I am a little worried that they might restrict me to only 1 world and wipe my advanced character... my buddy didn't have any of his characters' names displayed and he had 2 on different worlds as well.

I plan on going with the 40 character / 8 world package but as per the user agreement mumbo jumbo we get 30 days free just for buying the game. So does that automatically put me into the package I don't want?

I found some information about the PSN download version issues from the Lodestone.

We have identified a technical error for users that have purchased the digital version of the FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Standard Edition, or Collector’s Edition, from the PlayStation® Network between Tuesday, August 13 and Thursday, August 15.

The dates for this error range from August 13-15. You can check this out at the Lodestone.

Can you elaborate where you saw your character name? PS3 or the website? I'm asking because I don't recall my name or server being on either. Yet here's an interesting way which may help you inadvertently. I just signed up on the lodestone website because the Beta forums are shutting down. Well I made my handle and when I was checking my character profile, a picture of my character(name and all) with his helmet on popped up with my server and his levels of various classes automatically. The only way the website knew I was this character is because I entered my SE log in data. I also noticed they have the ability to denote your main character and alts. I don't have any alts, but maybe you could check this.

Honestly I have no clue how this will work, but at least I had my SE account tethered to this character.

It was on the PS3. After doing the 2nd agreement where you choose how to setup your service account where you can create a new one or click "Next" to use your existing one. Both service accounts were listed (Open Beta and Pre Order) and above them was the one character name below the first line of text.

I can't get into the Lodestone or the forums. It says I don't have a valid character account on Lodestone, and forums say registration has been temporarily disabled by the administrator.

I started in Phase 3 and have been on board ever since. The Beta Lodestone worked for me but it's gone... wish I could get into either of the sites.

They must be busy or something. Let me know if you get though. I'm curious if my hunch is right.

Last time I talked to SE on the phone about an unrelated issue I mentioned to them I couldn't register on the Beta forums (same error) and they were quite confident I should be able to register (not disabled), and that it was probably a browser issue. Admittedly all my browsers are outdated, but I have no issue with other web sites.

So it could just be me. I wonder if only legacy player accounts have access... ?

Nope, I'm from one of the new servers. I never had a legacy account either.

Thanks for trying to help. I disabled NoScript and BFilter and then I was able to get on the forums. Still no Lodestone but at least that's progress. I figure Lodestone might take a few days to update anyway.

OH but I see all my characters!!! :) :) :)

I think I got my issue sorted out. I live up in Canada so initially tried creating a new psn account based out of the US but still got the 'This code is incorrect or no longer valid' response. So then I tried making a UK account in case I got an EU EA access code. Sure enough, the code worked.

Praying that everything else goes smoothly from here on out.

Well so much for that. I now have early access setup and ready to go, but either through my ignorance or Square's ridiculous stupidity, or a combination of both, I couldn't link my new (euro) psn account to my old square enix account. Basically means I'm resigned to starting a new character. I wonder if my best choice of action would of been to suck it up and sit on hold with the help line for 3 hours?

Thankfully I didn't have time to sink more than about 8-10 hours into p4 so shouldn't take me too long to get back on track.

But man, the amount of hoops one has to jump through just to access and redeem a damn code...

Hi everyone! This is my first post (normally I just lurk pretty hardcore lol) and I am only posting since I am kinda concerned. I redeemed my EA code on PSN and now it shows my EA in services list. Nowhere does it say though do I get Mog hat and Cait sith minion. I have read other posts saying they could see the pre order items in services and I want to know if im missing something. Thanks in advance!

I didn't see my pre-order items under my services list, either. However, once I booted up the client and ran through the updates/agreements/etc. there was a page that told me that I would be getting the mog cap and cait sith minion. Hope that helps somewhat.

my service account says:

Collectors Edition Pack

however, I read somewhere a small patch was available now (8/23-7pm est) and when I tried to login for that patch it reads no vaild account available.
Anyone else getting that?

If I purchased a digital download on PS3, is there actually a code I need to input for EA? I am still downloading, but never received a code.

No code. If you purchased between the 13th and the 15th there is a bug though. Otherwise you're good to go.

So I'm getting really pissed off at this right now. I've entered my pre-order code, I've gotten the email, I have the code, I've double, triple and even quadruple checked my 12 digit code in the email, whenever I try to enter it on my PS3 it says code is invalid, no matter what I've tried it doesn't work, any suggestions?
