First off, absolutely stellar OP.
Code Redemption still seems down. I can't imagine why the site is still up, if I wasn't reading the forums or the Twitter feed, I'd be so incredibly frustrated. Casual users are getting confused, I'm sure.

I just remembered something, since I noticed some people talking about cross-platform play. It's worth noting that your macros, gear sets, and skill placement on your hotbars is stored locally and NOT server-side. Bear that in mind because if you try to jump between platforms, whatever preferences you set on one platform will not automatically transfer to another.
Hopefully they add a feature to upload/download cross-platform configuration data from the servers like they did for FFXI.

Do you have a grand company chocobo? If not, this isn't a bug. You can't ride ANY mounts until you get your GC chocobo to "unlock" the riding ability (in-game info is not clear on this). Then again, if you have legacy choco, I'd imagine you had a GC choco...
Edit:
What are you looking for?
When I went to Mor Dhonda, I saw it being dealt out by an NPC associated with Rowena. It required Allghan Tomes of Mythology (or Philosophy, I don't remember..) which you can only get 300 of a week. The pieces are pretty expensive (I think the Body piece was 825 or something like that) so it will take weeks to get the gear once you get to the point where you can begin farming the Tomes.
Unfortunately you cannot.
I don't and I've heard this theory before, but are we 100% sure that it's the only problem.
I know that it says that you need a chocobo license in descriptions of some mounts, but some people who posted in my thread on the beta forums claimed that they had the license and yet couldn't summon their chocobos.
That's why I'm confused.
Did they fix the issue with people from NA getting EU codes? I'm hesitant to spam anything until that's fixed.
Scholar and summoner look really good, whitemage/blackmage looks as expected.
Pre-ordered the CE. My questions are: Do I need to always need to constantly play the game? Is it possible to only play it for the story line and some side quests with friend?
Finally, I couldn't enter the Ragnarock Legacy server, will I get a chance to enter there, as all my friends are there?
I downloaded the phase 4 beta, and didn't play it as I couldn't enter the Ragnarock server, and was too stubborn to try on other servers. Character creator is also pretty cool, managed to make one of the characters look very similar to how I look IRL. Time to live the FANTASY!

Just kind of want to know what the different rewards or benefits are for each company.
And yay I've finally redeemed my 20-digit code and should be all set for early access!
I had no idea they weren't stored server side for easy cross play, definitely disappointed. I hope they do something about this.
I read that thread and people reporting a similar issue who did have GC chocobos were saying they were getting a different error message. The "unauthorized" message is not a bug, it's because you haven't unlocked riding. The basis for me saying this is the very clear wording on the preorder bonus items descriptions that states you cannot ride mounts until you unlock them in game (by getting GC chocobo).
http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/product/
"* Players will be able to ride mounts once they have reached level 20 and have obtained a chocobo."
Not a bug.

Oh interesting. Hmm. Now, the tomes you speak of - do you just get those from running certain dungeons? I didn't do any of that stuff in 1.x when I played. I mostly just leveled my WHM to 50, got full AF, then quit shortly after when they started to charge. xD

If I am a legacy player who also pre ordered the ps3 CE I will still be able to play if they don't fix the code redemption in time for the start of early access right? I will just have to wait for them to fix it to redeem the code for the pre order bonus items?

All the GCs are functionally the same.
The gear you can get from them is slightly different but you should not chose your GC based on the gear stats because the differences are minimal and spread out such that for each piece that one GC has that's aimed at a type of job, another GC has the same kind of thing in another slot. You won't be wearing full GC gear except for looks. Pick GC based on gear looks, maybe, but not stats.
Flames gear
Adder gear
Maelstrom gear
In their case, that sounds like a bug, but not in your case.

code worked!
Player preferences and macros have almost always been stored client side in MMO. Especially those that support add-on's. That's why everything reverts to default setting when you log on from another computer/system. It's inconvenient but certainly not out of the norm or unexpected.
There were two types of tomes, Tomes of Philosophy and Tomes of Mythology. The Philosophy tomes, as far as I know, come from trading in melded gear with cracked materia (from 1.0), and some items from 1.0 that don't have much use. You can trade it in for Darklight which leads me to believe that you can get these tomes from running the level 50 dungeons at the end of the game.
For the Tomes of Mythology there was no way to get them in Phase 4, but I'm assuming you will receive them from an endgame dungeon more difficult then Cutter's Cry or Aurum Vale for example.

Same!
Just tried again now because I thought I might as well. Logged in, entered code, got my 20 character one.
Yes for the PC version. I don't know if you'll be able to play the PS3 version during early access with Legacy and no pre-order code.
The thing is with WoW it was easy copying my character settings on a flash drive and bringing it with me, the same can't be said about FFXIV unless SE let's us transfer settings with a flash drive also.

From the code redemption page source.
Also, what is nice in the page source is the ASCII Chocobo and FF logo in comments.

Oh okay, thanks. That doesn't sound too difficult (assuming that is where you get the tomes from in the full game). The limit of 300 per week is a little sad, but I guess it makes sense. They don't want people spamming one dungeon over and over and getting all the gear in a week, lol.

Ah yeah that is fine, I just wanted the new CE for collection purposes and already had the PC CE from 1.0 so might as well have gotten a PS3 CE this time in case I ended up wanting to fool around there. Plan on waiting until PS4 to actually put any real playtime into a console version if I happen to still be playing when they get that out.

If you ordered from GMG, you have to change the "eu" to "na" in the link in the URL.
That's what I had to do.

is there any way to view this info on SEaccount.com?
they really do. how many do we have now? SEmembers, SEserviceaccounts, FFXIVmain site, FFXIVcode redemption, loadstone.

Where did you find this information?
EDIT - Ahh nvm it's the square enix account page. I'm guessing that means you had the email for your 20 digit code to redeem from there. Still waiting on mine.
Where did you get that piece by piece breakdown from?
That works on the PS3 too?
Yes

No clue. It showed me my current active services and what it'll be adding (Mog Cap and Cait Sith) on the page after entering the 20 character code.
On the page after entering the 20 character code (that is the code after redeeming the 18 character code on the partly working preorder site).
The page you enter the 20 character code on is the one linked to on the page you get the 20 character code.
Askani said:
Yup. EU region, EU redemption code.
Your comparison is not really applicable if you're referring to transferring between PC and PS3 settings, since there is no precedence at the moment, not even with WoW because no other MMO supports cross play. So yes it would be nice if SE support it somehow, but the practice itself is not new in the genre.

ok, so I was finally able to get a RAAU code with the same preorder code as the one that gave me RAAE.
