Preorder items are being released via mog mail on the 20th
Collectors Edition Items
i am not aware of any confirmed date for collectors edition items, but the safe bet is that are being sent out on the 20th after registering your game key
Early access lasts until Friday, June 23, 2017 at 11:59 p.m (PDT)

Dont panic if you dont have your game by the 20th! You will have untill the 23rd to Successfully register your stormblood CD Key . if you do not have your storm-blood game in hand on the 23rd, it is advised to log out in an ARR/HW area so that you can continue enjoying the game until you get your game codes.
Patch notes (preliminary)
dunno why, but apparently prelims didnt happen on tuesday. keep your eyes open on wedensday. they could potentially forego even releasing prelims.
There is a patch notes reading scheduled on thursday during the maintenance
New job trainer locations
Nobody knows- we will more than likely find out during the preliminary patch notes
If you dont currently own heavensward, Stormblood gives you full access to heavensward content during early access. you will only need to register Stormblood before the end of early access to have access to both.
Physical Edition Shipping times
I can confirm that Physical editions ordered from the SE Store began shipping today- i just got my confirmation email. Expect shipping to take 5-10 days unless you paid for faster shipping. this means that most everyone will have their physical copies well before the end of early access
(let me know if i make any mistakes and i'll correct)
/u/Mael_Duin: How soon before Early Access begins can we start downloading the patch?
I dont believe any official word has been released on this, but the safe assumption is that it will come up some time mid day on Thursday for download- but expect to have to download another patch potentially. ive seen where developers release their expansion, and then patch it before the servers go live because they found something in the test run- So safe bet: Patch before you go to bed, wake up an hour early, and check for new patches.
/u/thymsent Also: if you preordered digital on ps4 and the store is displaying that you have to buy it again DO NOT. It is a bit of a bug in the store right now, but you still have stormblood and do not need to panic!
if you have a question regarding EA/Preorder, please ask, and i'll answer and include it up here.
if i miss your question feel free to /u/ mention me and ill answer it. went to bed and woke up with about a hundred questions lol
if anyone sees any mistakes please let me know. if anything needs to be added, let me know.
