Yeah, my wallet is now showing $59.99 (digital CE). How kind of Sony. So now we wait to see when we can buy the game proper?

Well I fixed my problem... I was logging into psn network with my account and not Tesee's... The early access code is Tesse's. So I was trying to install hers under my psn account.. I forget the ps3 logs into mine by default. Once I logged into hers it worked perfect. Basically I was trying to log into FFXIV with Tesee's SE account through my psn account.

Obviously my PSN account is linked to my SE account and Tesee's PSN account to her SE account.

It's anyone's guess at this point. Apparently some customer reps are saying in a week but it'll be a free voucher, in addition to the game being (already) reimbursed. I call BS on that... personally I think when it expires at midnight we can buy again.

We'll see.

I agree. There's no way SE will let us miss both EA and Launch. That would be very bad press for them.

so here's a question...

i preordered on august 14th and i just got the money back in my wallet. before i had the refund i talked to a friend who preordered on august 16th(no issues with his digital copy) and preordered on amazon. he has since cancelled his amazon order but gave me his pre order code that came with it. it's a valid code, i have the psn code now. should i use it or wait to see what happens with the whole refund thing?

this is the customers reps information. Since I bought the standard edition, I might add 20 USD and buy the CE edition and start patching the game. I just dont know if I should delete the client and then redownload it. I'm not fancy about doing this but if it grants me EA it might worht the try.

This is what has been posted on the official forums:

"This was quoted from someone straight from someone else trying to get answers......

I just got off the phone with PSN customer service. I was told SE will be refunding all affected accounts IN FULL. Plus, we will be getting a voucher to redownload the game FOR FREE with "extra entitlements."

Drawback is the XMB message will be arriving early next week.

Submitting for a refund takes 5-7 days and no codes can be used until it goes through.

We cannot preorder from another merchant and use the new code. It will NOT work."


You can take it for what it's worth... If this is true, then we have been royally screwed over.

I used an EA code and I was able to login and apply it to my service account, so it seems like it works as a solution. However, there's always the risk that it's gonna mess something up later, like when you buy the game maybe it'll cause an issue that you already have the early access. Who knows. I don't think it's a big risk though.

Hmmm...

So money back, get the game for free with "extra entitlements" (I'm assuming the standard preorder bonuses + CE items if we bought that version), but lose out on Early Access in exchange?

...You know, SE and Sony were annoying me to the point of wanting to go Super Saiyan on them...but I guess I can downgrade it to a Kaioken. Losing out on Early Access sucks big time, but refunds and getting the game for free along with all of the extra stuff mostly makes up for it, if everything stands as it is based on current information.

Well, since I bought the standar edition I just added 20 USD to my PSN and bought the CE edition. Now the error is gone and I am currently downloading the remaining patch.

From the official forums again...

"OK, sony support confirms that we can do one of two things:

1. wait till early next week and get the game for free (compensation for the error and not getting early access), or maybe just can re-purchase once the code essentially removes that you had already purchased, was not fully clear... (think get game for free, but have funds in account to use on something else)
2. purchase the other version of the game (and get early access)

I am buying the standard edition now, and will spend 20 on the 27th for digital upgrade to CE, or posibly just skip the SE now. Only issue is the extra $20 on the PSstore needs to be used in the store. likewise, anyone who gets the game free now, needs to se that money in the store"


After buying the standard edition, he was able to login and start downloading the update. So this is a way to go. Just keep in mind that this is all Sony's side of fixing things. My guess is SE is desperately trying to figure out another way that we can all get in for EA, and so they're not posting anything in the meantime.

Of course, I just HAD to start with the CE from the beginning...hindsight, 20/20.

Well, guess I'll stay up until midnight to see if we do luck out on being able to just buy a new version of the game, but if not... welp, being in the military has taught me, many times the hard way, that sh*t happens. Guess I should brace myself to the possibility that I'm waiting until Tuesday to play. (And my duty day is Wednesday...bah...)

Sorry... no one knows what's going on. And SE has not said anything at all. Some people have managed to get responses from Sony customer service which you can read in my last post. If you can't afford the CE, then you just gotta sit tight and hope that SE manages to fix this. I just want some official word so I know whether the only way to get EA is to buy the CE.
