Darn, the Steam page says "immediately receive" so I assumed we'd be getting the bonuses now. I'm still working through EW and want that sweet exp for alt jobs.

SE will absolutely never learn that they need to have some sort of system in place for the burst of activity when a new preorder opens.

I think I might be wrong here, actually. I don't super remember previous preorder windows and I can't immediately find definitive information on this.

e: there seems to be some delay in the codes going out on Steam

You should get them relatively soon after purchasing.

Yeah, there may be some delay, but anyone that pre-orders will get a code before too long to get the pre-order-specific goodies.

Yes, and its only the preorder minion and earring. Won't get the code for the mount until early access.

Everyone trying to pre-order Dawntrail for PC:


Squeenix Store Servers right now:


I'm picturing some server room somewhere in the US, with a single intern laying in the corner, in the fetal position, sobbing. They're all alone. It's their first day. Their job is to keep the NA Squeenix Store servers running. This is their hazing.

I'm definitely going to pre-order but I can't think of any good reason to fight their overloaded website on day one. I guess if you're trying to get the physical collector's box, but good luck, I think the Endwalker one sold out within 60 seconds.

Yeah why would I stress about it lol

Somewhere out there, somebody has been awaiting the day they could get a Zidane minion to match their Zidane vet rewards outfit and they will perish if they are not the first on their server to have it.

I just think the new exp earrings are cute but then again I have little to no interest in working on alt jobs I've been avoiding since ARR and that hasn't changed almost 1 decade later now.

I don't even hate the trailer guy, but if I'm gonna spend whatever hundreds of dollars on the big boy box I'd want the statue to be someone I see in the story and not just in the trailer.

I can get why they didn't do it for Endwalker but, I dunno, make it Wuk Lamat or something.

They couldn't even pull off Exarch/Ardbert/Emet/Hythodaeus/Venat correctly, leave Erenville alone, we should not wish such a fate upon our boy like that.

Yeah the Zenos is... fine. It's not a great figure by any means but because his face and fat booty are completely covered by armor and spikes, he's thankfully not a horrendous failure like the rest. I own ALL of them, including the emote statues. They ALL suck. A LOT.

I own the Jack-O' Tifa and she's great actually. Also expensive and at 1/4 scale so she is much, much bigger than anything for FFXIV besides the Dollfie Y'Shotla (which I also own). Sometimes unlicensed products are cool (looking at you, my beloved HMO Morrigan).
