So BIG major changes that have to come in one fell swoop and not in little updates overtime, would probably come in hardcopy form, such as ps3 release. That is why I stated that, it would just be less time consuming for the consumer and easier to distribute.
I hate to bring WoW into this thread, but if Blizzard can put out patches that are 1.5+ gigs, I don't see why SE can't do the same for FFXIV. Sure, it would be easier for the players to just be able to get them with the expansion, but can (and will) SE put out patches of that size? Absolutely.
