Is expansion going to be on CD?

Said it during one of the events today, the CE is gonna include an actual statue, so I'd guess the physical release of Heavensturn is kinda implicit. ^^

Yoshida mentioned something about a figure possibly being included in the collector's edition. So, yes, there will be a physical copy.

Expansion will be distributed across 27,000 5-inch Floppy Disks with 1MB of data per disk. Please look forward to it.

I look forward to the days of having to installing each disk one by one, followed by building a new room on the house to safely store my expansion disks.

cant wait to see the CE items

I'd hope they'd release it on disc. Can't imagine the strain the servers would go through of everyone trying to download the expansion at once. Remember when 2.0 launched and Square disabled digital purchases due to the flood of people trying to buy and download?

Probably expansion specific files will be on cd, but stuff shared across the whole game is downloaded. Is how FFXI worked.

Have they said anything about whether the expansion will be one purchase for your overall account, or platform specific? I.e. if you want to keep playing on both PC and PS3, do you have to buy Heavensward twice?

Nothing stated. But my guess would be you'd have to purchase for both platforms.

Yes, the expansion has about a 1.8 year CD.
Even when you change classes in town.
