so i downloaded FFXI from playonline.com and when i hit the play button it says i dont have the game installed, why would they just put POL in the download and not the game . . .

For instructions on how to download a digital purchase, you’d want to contact whatever retailer it was that you purchased it from. Please note that SQUARE ENIX does not offer a direct download of either FINAL FANTASY XI or FINAL FANTASY XIV at this time; we do provide links to retailers who will sell a digital version of the title, but purchase is required from those retailers.
