If your issue is that you cannot download it, perhaps manually set your DNS to 8.8.8.8?

I'd rather they just replace pve protect with pvp protect.

:same:

Make it White Mage only, adjust the damage formula to take account for Protect's loss. Or maybe make "Shell" to be a shared action that has current Protect Effects if you really can't think of anything.

Echoing this. Only other broad solution I've got is to try downloading on a VPN. Otherwise, a specific error message/problem along with troubleshooting steps done so far would be helpful.

Sorry about that, I was discouraged after I made that post and retreated to the desktop PC. Had to boot the ol' lappy back up. I've tried changing my DNS as advised, but the situation has not changed. I did download the latest version of SoftEther, but I'm not seeing the option to pick from a list of VPNs as is present on the version of SoftEther that I have on my desktop.

Just tried running the launcher as administrator, same deal. Hangs up at 287MB.

I'm not sure, but with PSN I'd guess everything gets taken care of automatically since the accounts are linked. You could go to mogstation and check though, you should have Stormblood Early Access in your table of consoles and licenses.

This is how it shows up for me on a non-Steam PC license. I bought my copy on greenmangaming.com and immediately got an early access code which I registered following these instructions:

FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Early Access Details posted:

PlayStation®4 (PSN Digital Pre-orders)

How to register:
Promotion code registration is not necessary. Early access and the bonus items were automatically linked to your Sony Entertainment Network account at the time you pre-ordered the game. Please follow the steps below to register the rights to your Square Enix account once early access has begun.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Early Access Details posted:

PlayStation®4 (Physical Package Version)

The game client will be updated automatically if you have registered your pre-order bonus promotion code and launch the FINAL FANTASY XIV client once early access has begun.

I guess it's automated?

edit:

FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Early Access Details posted:


How to Confirm Pre-order Bonuses (PlayStation®4):
Visit the “Settings” menu of the PS4, then select “PlayStation Network/Account Management,” then “Account Information.” Scroll down and select “Services List,” and find “FINAL FANTASY® XIV: A Realm Reborn™.” Selecting it will show an entry labeled either “FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Early Access” or “FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Pre-Order.” This will also grant you the in-game bonus items at release.
* Registration information will be reflected on the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station after launching the game for the first time after Early Access has begun.

Had the exact same problem. It's due to your ISP (mine is Xfinity) blocking P2P connections for specific IP Addresses. I had to manually change the DNS Server I used to 4.2.2.2. This is the old DNS address used by Level3 Communications, an upstream internet firm in Broomfield, CO. You can then go back into your DNS options and change it back to automatic.

Yeah, the preorder bonus/early access code, and the permanent full access code are separate things. The actual cd keys don't get sent out until the release date.
If they just had 1 key that they gave you upon preordering, then amazon and other sellers that don't charge you until the release date would get screwed.

The part where you have to plug your bonus code into a site to get a different code to plug into mogstation is weird though.

Steam already has both keys, but putting in stormblood key tells you it's invalid.

SE is really weird with these, just let me enter the drat codes and then do what you want when you want with them, jesus.

If it works the same way as HW did, its automated and there's no code. You download the Stormblood DLC from PSN, they'll update the launcher before early access, and when you log in it will ask if you want to bind the expansion to the SE account you're logging in to.

Square's account system is insane. Although it's hardly unique among Japanese developers, they love making poo poo overcomplicated and then having elaborate instructions and separate websites and poo poo instead of just making it simple to start with. :shrug:

For the record I actually talked with Squeenix support staff back when the preorders first went up. If you have the early access code from steam entered successfully you should be set once Stormblood launches, apparently. So I wouldn't sweat it, worst case you just plug the other code in once the expansion's actually live.

IIRC for HW I had to log in to mogstation on tuesday after early access and add the HW code, despite having early access going in the days prior, it was really funny

IDK what happens when you install digital Stormblood on a physical install, but he can convert right now by just deleting the game and downloading it from PSN.

There is no God but Arceus
And Pikachu is His prophet



Today, Mr. Happy posted a video in which he describes a interview he did with Yoshi P during the reveal that occurred last month.

At the beginning of the video about the question in reference to his first question about his received answers, he stated that these answers were paraphrased and to not quote them but during 4:42 of the video seen here: https://youtu.be/5la_nyC5BO0?t=282
Mr. Happy states what Yoshi P wanted to make a clear point "I really want you to emphasize this to your viewers" then Yoshi P goes on to say "I firmly believe that it should not be mandatory(Healers DPSing) and we do not have the expectation for them to dps!"

Now, even if that was a paraphrase(which to anyone who views the video that it isn't) Yoshi P made it clear that if a person plays a healer....the game has been designed it for Healer DPS to be a OPTIONAL CHOICE! Not a required one.

Now we all know that you may vote kick players from content they qued for based on your view of "different playstyles" But let this be clear.....you are kicking these players not because of them not performing their roles correctly by not DPSing....but because you decided to dictate how you feel others should play!

I already know that I will getting alot of flak from this post by receiving insults, others demeaning this post a useless or null in void based on their opinions. But I want everyone in the community to know the facts.(hence the reason for the post) That yet again for both new players and Veteran...DPS IS NOT MANDATORY FOR HEALERS! To state otherwise is nothing more than your opinion....not fact or intended game design!
