I did it I did it I ordered the FF14 lore book
Lym
Lym
the shipping costs for that thing were... something else...
Lym
but I don't care
Lym
that's why I put money away for it when there first announced that there would be a lore book in, what, February?
Lym
and now it will be on its way to me soon
Lym
sooooooon
Lym
also, I didn't buy that but just look at that first picture sample from the 2017 calendar that went up for sale at the same time
Lym
(the calendar, not the picture)
Luc
yay!
Luc
I'm glad you got it 
Lym
me toooo 
Lym
not related to the lore book, but related to little FF14 things that make me happy, I have just found out that when the resident catgirls eat or drink something for buffs, their ears twitch
Lym
and I've been jealous of the adorable ear twitch that various catboys I've seen around have, buuuut now I know how to get my own even without a catboy
Lym
sometimes it's the little things 
Luc
awwwww <3
Luc
lots of orange juice
Lassarina
Where does one order it? I have been checking SE store and didn't see it
Lym
it looks like the US square enix store hasn't updated yet, but according to the original announcement, it should do that sometime today
Lym
from what I've heard, the EU store tends to update earlier in comparison, which is why I was able to order mine already
Lym
Lassarina
aha! There it is!
Lassarina
Yaaaaay
Lassarina
thanks <3
Lym
no problem The EU version sold out in about seven hours and the US store tends to be worse in that regard so I figured you might want to know asap

Lassarina
ahahahahahaha yeah I'm apparently getting it December 2017
Lym
oh. Oh wow. o__0
Lassarina
oh well. worth waiting for
Lassarina
also possible someone typo'd it
Lym
that sounds like the system is not having a good Monday (also, it went from "pre-purchse" to "purchse" and back at least once somehow? What an odd store.
Lym
)
Lym
I am very good at typing "purchase" so I'd fit right in I'm sure
Lassarina
haha
Lym
a-at least it will get to you at... some point...
Lassarina
yeah
Lassarina
i mean I don't RP or anything so it's more "I want this because shiny"
Lym
I'll cheerfully headcanon away details in it I don't like but I just really love stuff like this - ad it is shiny.
Lassarina
yes
Lym
just. so much extra info and with such neat presentation and and and--
Lassarina
it's interesting becuase like. the front page of the SE store says pre-order, the cart page says buy, and then the order page says I'll get it end of next year
Lassarina
which might honestly just be a /waves hands awkwardly/ supply question?
Lassarina
like maybe instead of selling out they're just like OK we'll keep printing it
Lym
even the site itself is confused
Lym
(also interesting: it looks like the US store has a "1 per customer" limit, which the EU store didn't have... and now there's a waiting list.)
Lassarina
yeah the US store was very very clear about 1 per customer
Lym
they learned from The Great Carby Debacle of 2015
Lym
(aaand now there's a waiting list on the US store as well. If that's not the site continuing its confused hiccups, I'm... impressed.)
Lym
oh hey, twitter confirmation from one of the lore book guys that the 2017 date was an error and that these things are shipping today
Lym
(yes I am entirely too fascinated by all this now that my copy is secured)
Lassarina
YES
Lassarina
/rolls around happily
Lym
(and from what I'm hearing, the US store did indeed sell out of their stock in half an hour)
Lym
/rolls with
Lassarina
well I hope I nabbed it in that half hour
Lassarina
I mean, I imagine they'll keep printing them becuase why not
Lassarina
anything over planned stock is basically pure profit
Lym
yeah, I'm sure they'll be back like the carbies and other pieces of merchandise, but that might take a while
Lassarina
ah, store has changed over to waiting list, which it was not when I ordered
Lassarina
so I am very hopeful
Lym
and it looks like you did, based on a) the time you posted about your email confirmation and 
the tracking of when it actually showed as sold out that people are doing, so you should be fine

Lassarina
oh plurk, helpful as always
Lassarina
thank you for being helpful and for holding my hand, I appreciate it so much
Lassarina
you're great <3
Lassarina
(I mean for many reasons other than that too!)
Lym
awwww <3
Lym
I'm glad this is helpful
Lym
Lym
also, someone who bought the calendar at fanfest shared photos of all the months
Lym
I don't know what's cuter, the bunnies, or the pumpkins, or Moenbryda & Urianger in the December picture
Lym
or Nanamo during Little Ladies' day in March
Lym
also, look at Merlwyb's shoulders
Lassarina
aaaaaah
Lym
also also, since I might as well put that in this plurk too, patch 3.45 with its Palace of the Dead (and Anima, I guess) updates, is scheduled for Nov 11
Lym
so much FF14 stuff today 
Lassarina
Lassarina
oh shit I need to like. Do PotD.
