got realm reborn email? how do i know if it's legit?

so i just got an email an hour ago with a final fantasy realm reborn key and some links about a few hours ago.

i use gmail, so i don't know if its possible for someone to spoof an email addy.
not sure about the links, but i need some way to verify if this email is legit or not.
i don't want to just click the links and risk my pc or any of my info.


SQUARE ENIX <noreply@xmail.square-enix.com> <---- this email does not look right? is it?

8:26 PM (1 hour ago)

to me

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and the links, when i hover over them read (uman.eu.square-enix.com <--- is that right?

i would like some way to verify this is not some phishing email

They have been sending out tons of them after the E3 announces yesterday so I'm sure its legit. If you're that worried open the site directly:
http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/prepa.../index_na.html
and register your key.

The addresses you posted are all subdomains of the square-enix.com domain so it should be completely legit.

D: i want in ps3 beta ohhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmygggggerrrd

yeah it's probably legit, I just got one too, downloading the client now.

some things never change, like square enix being terrible at everything, got ff xiv 1.0, all these crappy mails and no key yet, good stuff.

If you're a previous 1.0 member and playing the PC Phase 3 beta, you don't need a key. Only for PS3 side.

As my case as a 1.0 member who paid for 2 months after F2P ended. Yes you do need a key. Since I tried logging into the beta forums, and it won't let me, but I can sign into the lodestone fine. I made a ticket on support. :/. Unless you got some you got some magic on how to fix this. I'll be welcome to listen.
