PS4 Disc Requirement

[Ponno]

Hi, I'm hoping someone can cleat some things up for me. I have a physical copy of FFXIV on PS3. When I set up the game after entering the product code in the PSN store, I was left with a button to download the game directly to the PS3. So if I understand this correctly, I have a physical copy and a digital copy? If so what is the point of the game disc if I'm prompted with a digital download?

There is no point to the disc really. The game is so vastly different than the copy that is on the disc anyway since you are really just downloading the new game anyway.
