We have 2 updates because one is a patch and the other an expansion.

Idk, for some reason I expected a expansion being similar size as a game but I guess I should see it like a DLC pack

[Phixx]

So for the file size to be so different compared to HW, maybe the amount of voice acting is lowered, and there's a lot of reused assets maybe.
(such as oriental styled building being reused often enough to save space.)
Unless just 1 dungeon makes that much of a difference.

We also got a new race and 3 new classes instead of 2.

[Ametrine]

Good point, the entire new wall of assets associated with Au Ra was probably damn near a gig of data alone.

Well, guys. No worry about the size. It will grow larger and larger after multiple 4.X updates.

[Kurando]

Remember that is likely more updates will come after the Early Access. Certain things are not accessible during this time like the new housing area, so let's not worry too much about the first update eh.

Umm, I have one question. Since I bought SB on steam, it says Pre-purchase bonus content and Stormblood Standard Edition installed but also says Stormblood not installed. What does this mean? I also registered in Mogstation too http://imgur.com/a/ZCb4i Does this means I've already installed and updated everything up till now?

Have you started the FFXIV launcher to download the update etc?

[KatenKyokotsu]
