Here's a question Id like answered:

"Will anyone (mainly Gamestop) be offering pre orders for the Collectors edition? Because as of now they dont even know it exists."


So far only places that offer it is Square enix site (which overcharges for shipping) Amazon (which isnt offering day one delivery even if you choose 1 day shipping you get it on the 28th and not the 27th) and EBGames (which is Canada Gamestop). Id rather be able to walk into the store pick it up the morning it comes out and play it (and pay 5 bucks less since theres no shipping) instead of having to wait for it to be delivered the next day or later on during release day.


If you pre-order you get early access, which I'm guessing will be a download on the PS3 or something until you get the disc, and obviously a download for PC. So by going in and picking it up, you miss out on the ~7 day early access, as well as the pre-order items... I wants my mog hat! Smiley: nod

If I made it to the third round interview of the job I'm trying to get I'll get myself the CE as a treat.

I want to pre-order a ps3 copy, but on the other hand, I can connect my PC to the TV so it would never get used. Not to mention I only have a 40gb PS3 which I really don't want to upgrade. Really wish I didn't have to fork out 30+$ for them pre-order bonuses.

I ordered from amazon last week, and I just got my access code today. I was a bit worried, but now that I know I can still play early even though I won't get my ps3 ce until the 29th, I think that amazon was the right choice for me on account of the free shipping.

youre joking right? you know pre ordering from a store where you can "go in and pick it up" doesn't exclude you from early access and the pre order items right? lol

I think Bart is confusing your going in to pick it up as not actually pre-ordering a copy and just grabbing one off the shelf.

Yep, that's what I was thinking you meant. No need to get snippy about it.

As a owner or origial collector's edition, I'm still in deciding whether buy 2.0 collector's edition or not. Since I'm a legacy player, I would be able to download free client for 2.0. I wonder if it is worth to buy or not......


I have the old CE too but I predordered just for the Cait Sith minion Smiley: grin


Wait, I thought those that had the original 1.0 collectors edition would get the new CE in game stuff like Cait Sith minion, helmet, behemoth baby minion and behemoth barding. I'm not talking about ps3 or legacy early access or anything, just that stuff for playing on PC. Has that changed?

Incorrect... I have plenty of tact... I however only use it when/if it benefits me or if it gets me what I want :p neither of which is the case here :p

Cait Sith minion and Mog Hat are pre order bonuses only. You will get the other stuff though.

I was thinking of the Helm of Light, but I was definitely confused about the Cait Sith minion. At least I'll get that sweet ride in the form of a Couerl mount. Every time I ride it I will be reminded of countless hours of Assault Jerkin camping down in the labyrinth.

Gah, you just gave me a flashback. I did a solo run for my jerkin. Was doing well until I had a "THE GAME CHEATS!" moment where my utsusemi was interrupted and I was then paralyzed 5 times in a row. Almost went down but managed to get my 2 hour off and heal bomb myself. Friggin Ose...

Why drive a Jaguar when you can drive a Couerl?

I find this all very complicated.

I bought 1.0 when it came out and played for a month. No idea what level my guy was but not very high.

I pre ordered the digital download ce from the square site. Logged in with my square enix account and got an email saying i would receive info on how to claim my pre order bonus and ce items at a later point.

All i care about is early access, pre order and ce items. I do not care if I play my old guy as I want to start fresh.

Then I read you Can't get early access if you have 1.0 and get the digital ce.

Can someone clarify if me buying the digital ce will get me early access, pre order items and digital ce items?

Thank you

You won't get the pre-order bonuses or early access. You will get the digital CE items.

What's the point of spending $50 then? Why wouldn't I just buy the $20 ce upgrade at launch?

Oh sorry I thought you meant the digital upgrade - you should get the items and the access if you're buying the game outright and not upgrading.
