A friend asked me to post this.
"If I activated my account on FFXI then the same day went and made XIV using a Buddy Pass. Am I eligable for the boots or no? @_@"

I would imagine so, since it just checks to see if you have a linked XI account. If the account is active and linked, it should work.

Pretty sure you had to pre-order XIV to get the boots.

Only have CE and an active XI linked to your SE Account I believe.
Lame they only work for 30min though! D:

I've seen a couple of characters on my server mooching about in their uglyboots, so I don't know if this is true. SE are always a bit vague.

My wife had an account and had her char active for months, then she canceled it right before we ordered the CE of XIV, I then went back and created a new char on her account, when my CE got here, I had the boots, even though that particular XI char hadn't even been billed yet..

So as long as the account has already been billed before, it doesn't matter how long the current character has been active.

If by activate you mean a brand new account, then no it won't work.. It explicitly says that the XI account cannot be in a trial period.

If you reactivate your XI content ID then it takes 24 hours before the system recognizes it and you get the boots.

AFAIK the boots are for anyone who has both an XI and an XIV account and not really a pre-order bonus. You could probably make a XI account, wait 30 days and on the 32 day find boots on your XIV character. You'd basically be paying $13 for them but I'm sure SE would be happy about that.
