Downloading the Game

[Sines]

No, I think I got it, perhaps I'm just missing out on something that missed my point.

When I said 'buy it at Best Buy', I was assuming I could get the full set of FFXI stuff in the same way I could get it from steam, just with a physical disc thrown in. THATS what I was fishin' for. My apartment is not friendly to large downloads.

If, however, digital distribution is my only route, well then, there we go.

Also, when I buy it from Steam, I'd get my codes to plug into my extant account, right? Never bought expansions or the like off of steam for a game I already owned apart from Steam, so not sure how that works.

Oh, and I found a friend (a different one who may or may not be joining me and the friend who has just started) with a game disc still lying around, from WotG era. So, using that, it should contain all the material I already have. Again, how will that work if I buy the rest from Steam?
