The bonus saves unlock time but does not permanently gate either item.
Preordering Phantom Blade Zero grants early unlocks of the Treasure Basin accessory and Legacy outfit. S-Game says both can also be obtained through in-game progression, so neither is permanently preorder-exclusive.
The value is convenience and earlier use, not access to a separate story or otherwise unobtainable equipment. If you prefer to wait for performance and review evidence, you are not giving up the ability to earn these two items later.
Confirm the offer on the exact Steam or PlayStation checkout page and keep the receipt. Edition extras are separate; see Standard versus Digital Deluxe.
Because the items are earnable, preorder timing should not outweigh platform, performance, or review concerns. The announcement does not state how early in normal progression either item appears, so this page does not assign a time-saving value. Buy only when the game itself and storefront terms are acceptable; the two unlocks are not evidence that a particular edition contains additional story content.
