I'm glad I saw this cause I thought the pre order was enough

The Steam version automatically registers the code to your account.

@@shd_samurai9676 when I bought it I had to enter the codes in the Mogstation

​@@shd_samurai9676No, it only works this way for consoles. On steam, we have to put BOTH codes in Mogstation manually.

​@@shd_samurai9676 You sure? That has not been my experience in the past.

Will never happen, Japanese web and store development is stuck in the stone ages and the whole country refuses to budge. All Japanese companies will be like this until the end of time, don't ask me why they are so stubborn and retro.

@@chrisanderson7820 if it's not broken why fix

@@akasahi9315except it’s clearly very very broken 😂

lol same

I've only been through Endwalker launch so far but I also have forgotten this info until Mr. Happy reminded me XD

HAHAHA OMG SAMEEEE

that's why I'm here

I've only been through Early Access once before... with the launch of Endwalker.

I'm ignoring it like I'm ignoring chatting on the console 😂

Couldn't decide if I should pre order Dawntrail on PC or Ps5

Facts haha

@@nanox4825if you have every expansion and base game on both then go for it but if you have the main game on one platform. Stay on that one cuz you’ll have to buy them again

@@hollowgriefband @nobodyimportant5140 the cope is crazy, 60 fps gamers and restricted by y'all's thumbs 💀

To drive out the weak

I ask myself that question every new expansion.

Because it could happen if you preorder at Amazon or other Shops that your game arrives AFTER the Expansion launch. It happened to me as well on SB Release. My Game came 3 Days After SB officially launched but because of the Preorder Code i was still able to play the Game.

There is simply something inherently wrong with how the store works in almost every regard.. they can’t make a streamlined system to save their life!

Entering a code manually is "bat-shit crazy?" Get some perspective dude. Mogstation is far from perfect but the so-called difficulty of it is so overblown at this point.

@@GeeeEmmm The difficulty compared to literally every other game in existence is whats insane about it.

Is it possible that you aren't seeing the full picture? Your complaint is one of the most first world problems I've ever seen...

Then dont buy it 😊

@@GeeeEmmm No it's bullshit. This is unacceptable. Japanese people are horrendously out of touch when it comes to international business like it's embarrassing that they suck this hard at being so anti foreigner. I swear they do it on purpose. They are doing literally everything possible to NOT make money. I literally almost did not go forward with this game because of how mega ass it was to sign up. This was old mogstation, mind you, but dear GOD. Like literally JUST TO GET IN CONTACT WITH THEM FOR SUPPORT takes eighteen steps because they deliberately made it hard to not get help. Doing anything, you need to go through the SE Store, separate account...and your mogstation...SEPARATE ACCOUNT. WHY THE HELL IS THIS A THING? JUST MAKE IT ONE EASY SIGN ON LIKE LITERALLY EVERY SANE ONLINE BASED THING IN THE UNIVERSE FFS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO LOOK UP ON REDDIT HOW TO CALL THEM WHEN I CANT LOGIN WHEN EVERY OTHER GAME SERVICE IT IS EASY AS HELL TO GET YOUR CREDENTIALS OR A RESET. NO. Stop defending the Japanese on this. It's bullshit. If they don't want their economy to get downgraded into the dust and left to rot, they NEED to adopt INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS NORMS. Literally we need a second opening of Japan. ALL Japanese businesses do this archaic bull crap. Most of their country doesn't even accept debit/credit cards for payment. Jesus Christ. It's so funny that naive weebs defend this nation as being "advanced" like no, they are stone age compared to most western nations when it comes to tech and adopting NEW and SENSIBLE practices. Japan has ALWAYS been this way and it's annoying. They deliberately make their lives HARDER for NO reason. IMAGINE BEING A BUSINESS AND NOT WANTING TO MAKE MONEY SO YOU MAKE IT HARD AS BALLS TO JUST PLAY THE DAMN GAME AND GET ANY SORT OF SUPPORT OR DO ANYTHING.

I miss the old website from a few years ago, since they revamped it it's even more tedious to use imo

Seems like Debit Card facility is the problem of this issue. The new vendor no longer accepts it. I tried both debit and credit card to purchase in game Crysta, my credit card went thru with all transactions.

What is crazy, is that you used to be able to buy the game and expansions directly on the mogstation but they removed it because there was a glitch where you could somehow assign it to yourself for free. And they just never fixed it. Actually, realized it's been years since I last checked, so maybe they did fix it at some point.

@@joshk6929 Happen to me too. Then I adding my Debit Card to my Paypal and use Paypal instead turn out It's work. You should try :)

Skill issue

Oh it will happen again lol. Probably not as bad as EW launch which was peak FFXIV popularity but it's still pretty naive not to expect massive q times during the first week. I just hope it doesn't keep dcing as it was, and you had to restart your q. That's what was killing me, you were in q for 3/4 hours, get around 1k q spot, then it would disconnect and bam! back in line at like 7k ,and another 5+ hours q time (if it didn't disconnect again in the meantime that is lmao).

​@@davidepannone6021It wont be anywhere near as bad as Endwalker

Dont forget Endwalker launched right in the Middle of Corony so many people were in Lockdown and right before that we had the big refugee Wave of WOW Streamers and there Community. Where most of them already quit. I doubt it will as bad as EW but there will be queue Times for sure. But instead of a 10k+ queue its maybe 3k at max.....still a lot but way better than before ^^ also they did countermeasures for it with new DCs....etc all of that wasnt possible at EW Launch.

@@RandomFlask175 we have a saying where I'm from that goes "always prepare for the worst". As I said myself, it won't be as bad as EW, no. But it'll be also naive to not expect 0 issues, especially considering EA comes out during the weekend and A LOT of people will be home just like rona time. Then by monday 1st you will probably not have that much trouble getting in as most of us will be at work (especially during working hours whatever your region is). But expect EA days to be a fight to get in lol. Again, not as bad as EW but with definitely 2/3 hours Qs and issues.

​@@davidepannone6021the server congestion guide (or whatever it was called) posted by squenix says that the queue position will be saved for 1 min if you dc while in the queue

Don't have to worry about it on steam either

​@landonstandifer1984 You still have to do it on Steam. :I

Earring is early access. But you get another code within the next Days.

yeah you are good for early access

if you don't redeem the full access code until july 5th (when early access officially ends in their system) you won't be able to play dawntrail, if you won't play then you can redeem it whenever

If you have your earring and minion then you have early access. Bit you should get another code in your Key Section for the Full Access. These code you have to put into the Mogstation once the Expansion launches on July 2nd

@@DantoriusD Ah, thank you so much!!

you can look up if you have early acces on the mog station under service account (i am german so i need to translate sorry if its wrong) and then scroll down there should be a list with the expacs you are owning (they have checkmarks), if you have early acceess there will be a Dawntrail early access section, if thats not the case go into your steam libary, rightclick on FF14 - manage - product key, copy dawntrail bonus content code and paste it unto the mog station but if you got the early acess items already (Zidane Minion and Earring) you should be good to go

think a new code appears in the CD key section under ff14 on steam but I could be remembering wrong

And that is actually the reason they give you 2 Codes and the Preorder Code lasts till AFTER the Expansion launch. It was the same for me in SB and i was happy to play further since my CE Arrived 3 Days AFTER the Expansion launch.

Sounds like your problem

probably can go in the mogstore and add the early access code first, I think the link is one that says "add bonus code" or something. not the "add expansion code" this one is for the one that you can add after july 2nd. then put the code that will be sent out by square enix on a different email on again on july 2nd.

Then you will be fucked until Friday cause all the sites including where you enter the code will down for maintenance as well

@@Domino2097 so... best choice for me is to wait until July 2nd to purchase Dawntrail?

@@SomnusShinra no you can still get it you just won't be able to enter your early access code until early access actually begins

Yes, another code and you have to register it the same way as the pre-order code.

@@felipeledur alright, thx !

No, you still need to add it to the Mogstation, you will get a second key soon when you right click on the game in your Steam Library (it isn't there just yet). Steam won't auto-register you.

Yes but they are 2 keys that have to be entered as described in the video. Right click the game in your Library and you will see an Early Access key and a regular Expansion Key, then add them both on the Mogstation as described.

It's in Library > Manage > Cd keys

Its fine, you just won't be able to access DT until you add the code, thee code does not become invalid.

It is not a "get code > apply code" though. It is: Buy pre-order > get pre-order bonus code > apply pre-order bonus code Get another code on the 24, that you CAN"T APPLY for 8 days Start playing the game on the 28, still can't apply the full game code Wait until July 2nd then apply the full code If you don't think this is horrible and confusing you are tripping

@@Gordonfreems horrible ? yes , confusing ? no its a simple matter of setting an event on the calendar or putting a sticky note on the monitor And yes it is get code > apply code you just do it twice , i dunno maybe im more organized than the avg person Edit: as a matter of fact i already have an event alarm on the phone with the tittle '' Put you damn ff14 code NOW '' on July 3th

@@evans178 It's definitely confusing if you're new to the game and expecting an even semi-coherent/competent registration process. Even back in the dark ages of MMOs most didn't have to split release into multiple codes, and send them out separately at random times when they can't even be used.

@@joejoe5967 i can see it for new players , but for people that played since Shadowbringer(me) or older that confusion should ve already passed

Nope. Me either and i play on multiple Platforms ^^

Me neither, some people just make mogstation harder than it really is.

I always thought that the licenses weren't transferrable between platforms. Like, I own everything on console, but if I wanted to play on PC I'd have to buy everything again. I've never swapped platform though, so could be wrong.

@captainsavvy07 You are correct in that I did have to repurchase the PC license, but I didn't think I'd have to purchase the xpac again per client. Edit: relooking over my service account, I only have early access available via console. However, there is no option to purchase DT for windows either atm. I guess I'll be playing on console for a bit until I can get the xpac.

​@@orange51599im innyour current situation too, i bought the fame on ps4, moved to pc and new idk if they will send me a code or if i have to manually enter it. I already entered one for dawntrail's earing and minion but idk if this is related to early acess pre registration code or if sense i started on console it doesnt apply to me too

@@orange51599 at least you have to buy only DT again and not the Collectors Ed since these items transfer.

You get these key within the next couple of Days.

@@DantoriusD where? Will they just get added to the Keys overview?

@@Gluurak yes

If you have your Minion and earring then you have early Access. Depending on where you preorderd you get another code in the next Days that you have to put into the Mogstation when the official Launch begins. And they do it that way because if you preorder at Amazon or other Online Stores it could be the Case that your Game arrives AFTER the launch of the Expansion due to shipping. Happened to me at Stormblood. Bit because the Early Access last longer than the official Launch i was able to play the Game while waiting for my physical Game

If you have the EXP earring & the Zidane minion, and you entered any code associated with the pre-order then YES, you have pre-order access. If you're not on console SE will send you a code for the expac launch on July 2nd. Make sure to enter that code before the deadline on July 5th to ensure full access going forward. It's very arcane and still gives me email anxiety every launch 😅

i was wondering the samething i bought it on the SE store by accident. gave it to a friend then bought it on steam. Hopefully steam auto adds it

@@hypershadic1223 i literaly did the same, this is the first exp im plaing since dayone so i hope i dont mess this up :(

​@@Luca-re3ve You need to put the code that steam gives you in mogstation

Steam has to do this as well. The only difference is that instead of the Dawntrail code being emailed to you it'll appear under Manage->CD Keys when you right-click the game in your steam library.

July 2nd

​@@GordonfreemsDamn, so we don't get our special edition Chocobo Picto weapon until the following week?
