Pre-orders used to come with sweet incentives, since there's otherwise no reason to do it. I've got cool tins, coins, plushies, and even a working mini harmonica from pre-orders I did in the 2000's. Now they give you nothing but a few in-game items if you're lucky. I have no idea why people even do it anymore.
The ONLY two advantages to preordering now are game preloading, and exclusive preorder digital stuff for a game you were already going to buy at full price day one anyway.
I preorder FFXIV expacs because it comes with an accessory to make leveling jobs wicked fast. So it's worth it and a game I know I will play. Other games I wait. Not only do I know it won't be my primary game, but I know not all games are going to be great.
