So why not pack it as 1 file to download and use peer to peer to distribute and verify once installed. SE gets allot of money for this game they charge for ff 11 14 now ff 3 has been released on android they can afford to be more upto-date with the updates. X-Box users will have more of a problem but for PC users the faster we get the update the more Bandwidth available for x-box users and ps users to. Japan is fibred upto the world with many many servers bouncing along the way even a dl speed of 1mb/s is a vast improvement. File verification can be done by pol later on my quad core sata pc can make mince meat of that.

Also i understand that SE invest allot of money in the DEV team but the cost of this is minimal in 2012 where servers and connections are much cheaper than they used to be. Updates must be the biggest pain of players and i hate it when im took off for 2 hours + x hours for the update afterwards.

Just a thought.
