I'm not following you. The code would replace the physical copy that would have arrived in the 1st Class bundle.

I don't see how that's a solution, really. I think if you ordered physical, you accepted the risk of it not physically arriving on release day for whatever reason.

Soldier 1st Class editions that are already paid for are a different matter I guess, but I still don't see how people are guaranteed a release day copy in any way.

These are extraordinary circumstances, so unless SE are going to offer mass refunds, it's not a big ask to offer, at the very least, a digital alternative for those who can take up that offer. People have paid a lot upfront, but if the delivery chain is about to collapse, with no idea when that could be fixed and the item eventually arriving, then offering this isn't a massive ask no?

This is the unfortunate fact of the matter, really. Launch day shipping is always on a best endeavours basis, and in this unfortunate circumstance it's likely that not everyone is going to get it on launch day. Everyone that ordered will get their copy eventually, as far as Square, Amazon or the like will see it, so the likelihood of them giving out digital codes is probably rather slim if you ask me.

Naw, I want my physical copy and I wouldn't exchange it for digital for any reason. If worst comes to worst, I'll just buy it twice; I'll have a digital copy and a physical one.

Tangible ownership is simply greater than cloud ownership. Knowing PSN and their server back end I do not want to worry about that and the risk of catastrophic hardware failure.

It's simply the risk of physical shipping and retail. I'm cool with it :monster:

Keeping my Amazon order to see how things shake out but I went ahead and placed a secondary preorder through Square Enix store directly. May end up just keeping both and gifting the extra copy or something.

I have the 1st Class Edition on order here, all paid up, but stuck a digital preorder down last month in a moment of madness after realising the release date fell on the Easter long weekend. I wouldn't say I expect UK shipments directly from SE Europe to be severely delayed at this point, but I'm certainly happy to be a little more vindicated from my decision.

OK then...

UK only promotion. But it's a chance to win the game, not any DLC or anything lmao (EDIT: see update):

There's an element of "big yikes" here because of the timing with coronavirus and all the supermarket woes. But I.... want those packs. Goddammit.

UPDATE: My info was wrong, there are DLC codes. It's a lottery:

A week long trip to Japan for two? I wonder if that'll go ahead and/ or include Square Enix type stuff.

My understanding of the digital codes ask was that the digital codes would be sent out to let people play on launch day, and then they would eventually receive the physical copy they ordered in addition. If the digital copy replaces the physical then there's less of a problem, but you'd definitely need to get every customer to consent to that because some might not want a digital even if it means waiting, or have already paid for a digital copy.

I went looking in Morrisons today for these and all I found was a lack of pasta and bog roll. Profound sadness.

This actually couldn't have come at a worse time. People are panic buying pasta here including these - which for the uninitiated, taste fucking horrific. I would avoid them at all costs normally.

Now I need to look for a shop actually selling them during a pandemic where we're meant to limit that kind of thing, buy pasta that's utterly disgusting and perhaps do so repeatedly to get all the codes. And even when I find them, it will look like I'm panic buying pasta and people will judge me! Everything is terrible lmaoooooooooooooooooooooo

I will not actively seek these out in shops. I will casually check when I happen to be in the shops for other reasons (as in, necessity). Argh.

I was responding to the general idea of SE giving codes that I thought Odysseus was referring to (sorry if I was wrong!), rather than specifically responding to Claymore. So I think we're talking past each other. My bad!

I was specifically talking about square giving codes to people who pre ordered on the SE store. That would be on top of the physical copy, not an exchange.

I doubt they ever would go for that. First off, it sounds like a logistics nightmare, with less than a month to go. Second, it would be far too easy for people to use that as an opportunity to get two copies of the game, many of which would go to friends/get resold/etc. SE doesn't strike me as a company that likes to miss out on potential sales.

Yeah I'll admit, it was just wishful thinking.

They are for the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game which includes FF things across the series. That FFVII starter pack was released years ago shortly after the first reveal of Avalanche. It features these cards. A year ago another FFVII starter pack was released but the only new Remake card at that point was this one.

I expect they'll start introducing more Remake cards over the next few sets (Edit: They will do).
