how to buy this game?

[Riggs]

I want to run a second account, but i can't see the game for sale on any of the online stores here in the UK.

Is the only way to buy it now via a download site i.e. steam, secondly i already have the game all i need is the codes, can i avoid the download and just buy the codes?

Yes you only need the codes, on need to download. I bought FFXI from Direct 2 Drive when I got it for my PC, not sure if you can for UK but I would hope so.

Amazon sells this game via digital downlod. you don't need to actually download it there to get the codes.

Hi, can I download the game for win7?
I play the game thru xbox and I want to play with laptop so I can play everywhere =)

there are places online that have the installer or DVD images, search google for them, but be careful and make sure you do a virus check, the Ultimate Collection works with Windows 7 for sure....not sure about the others

I do wish they would make it so you could just get the full game for download directly from the FFXI website rather than making people hunt for it

and no I do not see getting the installer for FFXI online as piracy, it isn't because you pay for the code or codes

wildsprite,

Doesn't really matter does it how or what we users see that as, as it is still a fact that SqEX prohibits even lending the installation media to a friend. ^^;

So...


Emilja,

Officially no. There is no way to download the game without buying it, and indeed, those unofficial sources may actually do more harm than good in that they can be malicious (and less money to SqEX which is no doubt the reasoning behind them particular rules).

not for FFXI they don't, if you have the code you can use your friend's installation media for FFXI, what do you think the buddy pass was for?

its not like other Final Fantasy games, you still require to pay to play online, and SE has stated in all of the manuals if you have FFXI on one system you can use it on another, you just need to install it

Someone tell me again, why doesn't SE offer FFXI for digital sale via their own store/SE-Account manager?

[wildsprite]

they don't? they did last time I looked, they had the Ultimate Collection and the Ultimate Collection Abyssea Edition....they are gone from their own store?

I'm pretty sure they do. I think it was there when I was going to buy the game about a week ago. Then again, I'm not known for having a good memory. >.>
