"downloading update."
Yesssssss.

Just to reiterate, in case anyone missed the Twitter post from SE:

Servers will *not* come online early for this patch. They will be available at the already listed time (11:00 BST).

What fixed it for me was going into "my games > FFXIV" and deleting the content inside the "downloads" folder.

I'll post pics in a while in a new thread.
