Square Enix Online Store 1st Anniversary Sale - Until Feb. 21stSome of you may know that I love Final Fantasy games a lot; they’re one of my favorite rpg series, among many others. A few days ago I got an email notifying me that there was an anniversary sale going on at the Square Enix Store and it happens that one of the games I got back into, Final Fantasy 14, is part of the sale! I already own the base game (on PS3 and PC) and was planning to get the Heavensward expansion for it at some point, what perfect timing. I doubt I’ll be able to get to the base ending anytime soon, seeing as the game itself has a lot of content, but it would be nice to be prepared. Unfortunately, the PS3 versions of the game that are being sold on the SE Store are physical-only, so either I would have to wait to receive the disc or just pay the normal price on the Playstation Store (because as far as I know, the PS3 digital version of the Heavensward expansion has never been on sale) There’s also a few other things that caught my eye, so I’ll list it all below:
Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward Collector’s Edition (PC Digital)(Sale: $29.99; Reg. $59.99)
Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward Standard Edition (PS3 Digital; Playstation Store-only)($39.99)
Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD ReMIX (PS3; Physical-only)(Sale: $9.99; Reg. $19.99)
-Shipping options: Super Saver (+$4.99) or Priority (+$8.99)
Here’s some answers to a few questions you might have:
“What’s the difference between FFXIV Collector’s and Standard Editions?”
The collectors edition gives you exclusive items only available via purchasing said edition or upgrading to it, such as gear, mounts, and so on; the physical version has all of that, plus tons of awesome physical goodies, like an art book, figurine, OST CD and more (but because of that, it costs much more than the digital one). The standard edition just gives you access to the expansion’s content. FFXIV is not a Pay-to-Win game, so the in-game items are mostly cosmetic.
“Why do you need two copies of the game? Don’t both of them need to be the Collector’s Edition?”
Because that’s how it works. Despite being an online game, you need to own both the PC and PS3 versions of the game and their expansions if you want to be able to play it on both platforms. As for the latter question, no. You only need to own 1 collector’s edition per base/expansion or upgrade to it once and all the platforms tied to your Square Enix account (ie. PC, PS3 and PS4) will be able to enjoy the benefits.
“If KH2.5 HD is so cheap, why not just buy it digital?”
I would if I could, but Square Enix has never sold digital versions of their Kingdom Hearts games and I don’t see them doing that anytime soon.
“So, any bonuses I can expect for commissioning you on such short notice?”
All commissions that are $10 or more (ie. Lineart, sequences) during this time will have coloring (flat colors only; no shading) for free and the option to add one additional character will be +$3 (other subsequent characters will be the regular price of +$5). Please note that this offer doesn’t apply to sketches or chibis.
Growth Drive delayedI’ve been distracted and kept busy by some rl issues, so I haven’t had time to properly finish up the character for the drive. I’m kinda thinking about doing alt. versions of the character that will be used (ie. fur and human) or doing two characters for a single drive, like gitbigger did two years ago (which was really awesome btw). Maybe the latter would make people more willing to participate, though it might be a bit more taxing. I really need that matress, so despite that, it would help me out a lot. Let me know your opinions in the comments below.
How Things Are GoingI’m not sure whether they’re calming down or not, since I’ve still been stressed tbh. My back’s been killing me lately and giving me cramps since I still got that old mattress I was talking about in my last post, so I’m hoping I can finally get started on that growth drive soon. Pretty sure this thing’s already sunk even more than how it was before… My laptop’s been a bit problematic too, it’s been freezing or getting slow sometimes. This weekend I almost thought my new tablet died because it stopped responding all of a sudden no matter if I re-plugged it or rebooted. Turns out that the usb ports (one in particular is pretty bad) are dying, so I guess that also explains why I’ve only been able to power things and not charge them when I plug them in, which it was able to do so before. Because of these issues, I might add a new laptop to the list of stretch goals for the growth drive. Also, I got sick recently thanks to my bro, so I haven’t been feeling well but I’m still well enough to be able to draw. If I do get better or worse, I’ll be sure to let you guys know.
As for drawings, I haven’t been able to finish some of the ones I really wanted to post here; I’ve had a few new ones that have been nice for practice. Because of this, you’ll notice that my style’s still a bit over the place, especially when it comes to muscle and bara drawings. I’m not entirely satisfied, but I feel like I’m getting there, slowly.
Commission statusAlmost forgot to update the list. I’m trying to work on these as much as I can and these are still my one and only source of income, so it really means a lot to me when someone’s willing to let me work for them.
Slots are still open, so if you want to grab one, now’s your chance: (here’s the price list)
P.S. My Amazon Wish List is still a thing, so if you don’t have Paypal you can pay me by purchasing something from here. For more details, send me a note.
