Preloading now. Getting hyped. Sucks about Twin being a recruit a friend mount and Carby minions being tied to plushies. How do they look? I am very interested in a Carby plushy.

They look like Carbies without fur or shine. So, trash.

Just saw the naming conventions for the Au Ra; this stuff is boss. Older-style Japanese names are far more flavorful than those of the past century. I love them. My female protagonist has a Japanese name (
the name my wife's parents almost gave her and then changed at the last minute
) and now I sort of regret not going with the game's conventions.

Any Mongolian speakers know how realistic all those names are? I know just a few Mongolian words, but... none of those words in the game.

Tell me about it.
VIII and XII are my personal top two so jesus christ I don't think I need to tell you the shit I have to hear from the fandumb.

You have good taste; those are my two favorites as well. Would pre-order a remake of either one a year in advance and have no regrets.

They don't have to sub. You get 5 feathers upon purchase. First sub is when you get the circlet and the pendulum.
Has to be a new account however.

That would be awesome. That would cost about 7 quid for fifteen feathers.

I'm sure it follows the same rules as last time. They have to activate an account and pay for some game time.

That would complicate things.

I take it you can just, use the base game. People don't have to buy Heavensward or whatnot? It'll be easier to recruit people if they don't have to buy the combo-pack.

$50? what the heeeeeeeeeellllll

Gonna agree here. They didn't add THAT much music between 2.2 and 2.5. I could see maybe paying 25-30 since it is a Blu-Ray, but not 50.

Would've expected them to just release all these songs with the Heavensward OST.

Yup, need to see some proof for this since everyone else I see is saying that it must be some paid gametime, trial accounts don't work. (aka the free 30 days you get).

It's 60+ tracks and also the video of Soken's band performance from Tokyo Fanfest as a bonus. Less than usual, but still alright.

So, you're guessing on ambiguous wording then? I'm going to assume that SE wants to drain more money from people, not less.

It was absolutely unambiguous.
It was clearly separated into recruitment and subscription sections. You're grasping at straws.

pretty sure that the invitee has to get at least a 30 day sub for the rewards. I recruited a friend when he was still on his 30 free days and got the friendship circlet when he paid for his first sub.

That being said, that friend stopped playing after 120 days. 30 days away from the next 5 feathers. I need to get him back <_<'''

I thought a trial account is the account you get from the free trial, not the free month from purchasing the game?

Hmm, I can see how you are reading it, odd that most of the initial posts I saw didn't read it that way. Of note though, the friend doesn't get their fist bump emote until they pay for game time which could mean nothing but worth throwing out there.

Okay, desperate times. Probably gonna have to give away that PS4 copy of the game I bought for ten dollars, if I'm gonna recruit anyone. :p

Everyone I know seems to be just as frugal as me! XD

...Hmm, well maybe if I can find it on sell for 40, maybe. I'm pretty frugal these days. :p

If they threw in a minion, like they did for Before Meteor and A Realm Reborn, this would be easy -- buy the music at retail price, sell the minion -- voila, instant discount.

helped a brotha out on multiple separate occasions!

Yeah looks like you just need to recruit them to get the first 5 feathers from your first 5 recruits. Friendship Circlet, the chocobo mount, and all the other feathers require actually adding game time.

Bonuses for recruiters
You will be able to obtain Gold Chocobo Feathers based on the number of people recruited, and the subscription length for each friend. These Gold Chocobo Feathers can be used to exchange for various items.

Exchangeable Items
1 feather: Five sets of various rare dyes
8 feathers: Amber Draught Chocobo Whistle
15 feathers: Twintania Neurolink Key
* Twintania can perform her infamous divebomb action too!

Also, for each friend recruited you will receive 5 more Gold Chocobo Feathers.
When you recruit your first friend you will receive &#8220;Fist Bump &#8220; emote. On top of this, there are also bonuses based on the accumulated subscription length of your friends.

Bonuses based on Friends&#8217; Subscription Length
The bonuses for the first 90 days will remain the same, but when they subscribe for 150, 210, and 270 days, you will receive 5 Gold Chocobo Feathers each time.

Previously recruited friends and their subscription lengths will count towards these rewards, so with this power up, you will be able to obtain each of the bonuses.

Just bought the full game last night after hitting 20 in the trial. Feel free to PM me if I can help with this refferal business.

I can definitely do that.

Me too please Kagari!

In other news: I got my early access code from Best Buy!

Don't know if anyone needs one, but my local Gamestop secured a PS4 LE for me after telling me they couldn't. I already preordered one from Best Buy. Let me know if anyone is in So-Cal and wants and LE, I can have them hold it for you.

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
Launcher updated on PS4. Downloading a 3.6gb update now after logging in. Worlds are all down obviously, but probably best to get started on the HW downloads for those able.
 
It's only a matter of time before we get XIV Amiibos. All those minions tied to plushies and toys...

Hmm, so I paid for 60 days on my second account for the friend thing originally, so I will get 5 feathers retroactively for that and then once the sub hits 150 days I get 5 for each milestone then? So basically I need to go pay for the 210 days worth and I'm good for Twin mount?

The status of my CE order is still listed as "Order sent to warehouse". What does that even mean? If they still haven't even dispatched it, it sure as hell wasn't gonna get here by early access day even if tomorrow wasn't a public holiday... Hell, I'm beginning to worry that it's not even gonna get here in time for release day.

You don't need it on either of those days. You don't need it until 6/27.

yup, same for me

you need the code from the collector's edition to get your collector's edition items, like the mount, fantasia etc.

having to wait extra time for the stuff considering the price of the product we bought just because they didn't ship in time is dumb.

If it makes you feel any better, mine still just says "pre-order".

Well if anyone gets feathers after recruiting but before they add game time to their account, post here and let us know. Just incase. :)

Yes, I am considering making dummy accounts just for twin. ;_: god damn it.
