2.0 expansion or update?

[Ingolf]

Has been stated before: Us current players get a free download of the new client.

Just to provide some clarity: You don't have to be a current player. If you've ever bought and played XIV in the past, you'll get the client for free.

Same if you've joined through using the code provided in the collectors edition box.

As long as you have an XIV account under services on your SE login page, you're not required to buy anything more (even if the account isn't paid for currently).

Good point.

It's a patch at most, but also can be classified as an expansion, it's a upgraded version of FFXIV, if it was classified as a "new game" it would be called a "Remake" or a "Rehash" of the same game as the original but with upgraded data and new content

Or just called it a reborn of the game, what they did in the new title.

Im wondering if we will have to uninstall the current version and go to a url for the download or if the launcher will do it for us.

I vaguely remember them saying it'll be a completely new client, so we'll probably have to get a new one.

Good riddance imo, the current client is awful.

Its like FFX-2 and FFXIII-2 ...now its FFXIV-2 New game :P

i'm sorry, but i don't recall getting to carry my player info, player level, and items over to the -2 versions of either of those. when i started either of those games i started as level 1 and didn't have any items because they were new games. this is not the case here so you are completely wrong on your comparison.

sorry if i made you upset cos you cant have a tiny since of humor ...geesss
don't you think its funny its FFXIV 2.0 ..there the "2" with it. All country are changing. then why is FFXIV Was not called FFXI-2 ??? we couldnt move our character but all character look same but different name..and if you say the story is different of the XI hummmm ..All the city are being remake and all is different from 1.X and 2.0 so what wrong with just calling it FFXIV-2 anyway ...

i'm not sure exactly how me pointing out just how extremely wrong you are says that i'm upset, but you can read into it whatever you want. it doesn't change the fact that it's wrong. it's because they are completely different games. they start you off from level 1 because the game doesn't carry anything over from the previous version including character progress, in game money, or items acquired. all of these transfer over so they are NOT releasing a completely new game.

i don't classify this as an expansion pack nor a patch either, but it is not a completely new game.
