Will new software be required to be purchased to play 2.0 ?

Sorry, too lazy too look for the thread. Buy we will get 2.0 for free. The only ones that will have to buy the game (as 2.0) will be new users post-2.0 launch.

So, no worries.

No need to look for anything. There's a big button on The Lodestone main page.

Among our new plans is the fundamental reworking of in-game maps. As part of this process, there will be a period required for switching over to a new client and new servers, after which there will be a large transfer of data when service is brought back online. After the new client is completed, new software for the PC version will be distributed online, and can be acquired free of charge. Character data and progress for players already playing the PC version will also be preserved, allowing those players to continue using their in-game avatars. Another announcement will be made in the future as the day on which the new FINAL FANTASY XIV software will become available for download draws near, and the PlayStation®3 system version officially released.
