Software distribution

So how is the 2.0 software going to be distributed? Are we going to receive a new disc? Im doing a new build and don't want to imagine having to do a long install followed by a longer download with another long install .../sigh

Probably a download... Distributing disks would be a waste of money and time for the company.

It's the year 2012 if you haven't noticed. Not 2001.

Somewhere in an interview I don't feel like looking up right now Yoshi answered "download".

2.0 will also feature an improved FFXIV downloader.
If squares not too stupid they will also distribute it over at their steam-like thingy.

What do you mean? I just find it weird that they're going to start distributing the game client possibly half a year before the release of the game.
