Did I miss something that would cause my pre-order bonus code to not work yet? Purchased from GMG.

IIRC it's p slow due to the amount ppl buying it ... hence I decided to wait until it's closer to EA later.

Like everything else in the game, access to expansions is heavily MSQ-gated - you won't even be able to use map transitions if your MSQ progress didn't unlock them, even if you can get to them somehow. Obviously ferries and other NPCs who will move you to new expansion zones just won't work, but even if you reach a transition you're not supposed to use yet (like the bridge to Radz-at-Han before you get officially invited in the 85 MSQ or thereabouts, or even the various islands with access to Ishgard/Foundation in the Sea of Clouds before you return and get to unlock flying) the game will just kick you back out to where you came from.

I once caught a ride on a multi-seat mount to a town I wasn't supposed to have access to yet, and none of the NPCs loaded in. So yeah, the game seems pretty intent about not letting you jump ahead in any way.

fwiw you can still access jobs tied to expansions as long as you reach their unlock level (80 for viper and the painting one)

except for dark knight, astrologian, and machinist which are still locked to the expansion area

There's a possibility that Dawntrail will allow players to skip ahead in the MSQ, but nothing's been quite confirmed yet on the details.

If it were it would have been confirmed by now. It's getting mangled with information that if in the future they decide to have a new starting point for the MSQ then Dawntrail is a good place to put it and they're trying to design with that in mind.

Yoship has actually confirmed the opposite. There will be no skip to 7.0.

This. Also Yoshi-P is still saying that he’s reluctant to do so because of how linear the MSQ is.

Considering there is no clean break from the existing cast and I doubt they’ll never going to bring up plot events or concepts from ARR-EW, I’m inclined to agree with them. Also the jump in even normal difficulty duty complexity.

Yeah imagine jumping into the game at 6.1, having to learn a zillion buttons for your job, and then doing the 6.2 trial

...Although it would be nice to let alts start at 7.0 if you have already done the MSQ.

Mogstation says that the entered code is invalid. Or is the "Dawntrail Digital Bonus" code not a Pre-Order Bonus Code?

that should be the one, afaik that's what the code I entered was called on GMG. sorry just tryin to be specific, you're sure you clicked the "pre-order bonus" code entry page and not general "item code" or whatever?

my only other guess is that maybe it actually did successfully enter and then you reloaded the page causing it to say it failed or something, so check in-game if you haven't already

There won't be a story skip until there is.



Maybe it will happen someday, but YoshiP is never going to confirm it before it happens.

Copy-pasted the code? If the code doesn't work (SE codes are case sensitive BTW), contact GMG.

I can't even imagine how they are going to do it, but they will implement a skip to Dawntrail when they do the level squish in 8.0. They really fumbled what could have been a clean break from the first 10 years of story in 6.1, but it is what it is.

Not only will they not do that, they should not do that. FF14's aggressive callbacks and continuity are a huge part of what makes its story work.

We're not going to get a clean break from the Scions unless they are unable to follow us to an expansion's location.
So, like, shard travel, time travel, or knocking them out of the picture in some fashion.

Or we get a new protagonist, but that's probably even less likely.

A clean break in the story would be a terrible, terrible idea. You might as well make Final Fantasy 17 at that point.

they should do a level squish just because theres so many useless levels between 1 and 50. Only needs to be like 30 levels with the skills decently spaced out.

THe rate at which you get stuff would still be the same since youd still just hit 30 for ARR, but levels where you get stuff are more fun than levels where you get nothing.

once you make sure the UI can properly display 100 there's nothing stopping you from going to 255 (job levels are stored as a byte)
