Japan corporations love systems especially redundant ones. Lots of redundant menus as well.
Why she is making this video? This has been the way it's been for 10 years. They aren't going to change it.
Sure the old mog can't figure out the difference between a game with and without a pre-order bonus so they gotta give him two codes to make him happy. Poor mog needs some TLC.
As usual it's FFXIV's "THE LODESTONE SAVAGE" "SUBSCRIPTION ULTIMATE".
Thank you! If i hadnt seen this video i wouldnt have even known i had to do this
You need two because one registers the edition, whether it's regular or collectors edition and the second one is for the preorder items.
The one that actually matters is the edition because that actually registers the game, whereas not everyone will have get the code for preorder items anymore.
Edit: to be fair, the preorder stuff is treated as optional items, and SE has you register optional items with codes. I would rather they have some other way of doing it though, like with a QR code.
Over the last 2 weeks I've had to use the system numerous times for preorder bonus, mountain Zu, 3 seperate times for the twtich drops…
Archaic system
Zepla drinking Mtn Dew like a real Gamer™
it worked fine, one code would be nice but whatever
It’s an online purchase of a digital good. It shouldn’t need a code of anything ffs. Just flip a Boolean flag for the account and be done with it.
I was confuse about this to ans i realized how dumb i am lol
Ngl this is a pretty serious thing for people and many people may not be aware of this.. given the absolute overload of information Square-Enix provides and the very difficult ways it is to manage it.
As a Windows player this has been the way it has worked for the last 2 expansions. Registering the pre-order code does flag your account and you'll have access to the expansion for two weeks after release.
Terrible system, but i had no issues tbh.
All of this should be automated tho…
got my ark mount.
That's fine and dandy but when I try to register it says it's in maintenance bruh
I found a trick to figuring this out. By reading the text provided and following the instructions laid out in the message I received I was able to figure out what needed to be done. Stay strong, everyone, as this took me an entire 3 minutes to accomplish.
Jesus Christ it’s 2024 and they still haven’t figured this shit out
What happens if you don't out the new, main code??
Easy
You cannot access DT zones
So, if you have your character in a new zone, you would be able to access your character until you put in the code.
If you have your character oustide a DT zone, you will be able to keep playing, just not go to a DT zone.
Ya, SE is dumb when it comes to these things, but I'm used to this crap since ARR so for me it's normal and easy now.
Also, you have until Friday (July 5) to figure this out and put in your code. GL
It took me less than a minute to do….. Its not a big issue.
it's so, so difficult to copy and then paste 2 codes into a website over a full week. Do these people know how to tie shoelaces?
I almost tossed my laptop across the room over this crap.
Imagine needing a guide to put a code in on the lodestone, it's literally right there when you login you scroll down and click register game code, absolute lack of iq in this video and comment section.
It worked so I guess I did right.
