Expansion Info

How would that work for physical owners though?

People using Steam would probably have it the best, they could just buy the expansion through Steam and be done with it. How would I apply a digital expansion to a physical base?

Through the Mog station and a digital download, the same way most other MMOs do.

Blizzard has Battle.net, and Guild Wars has their own website that allows you to purchase and download full digital editions of their games / expansions in WoW's case.

For Ps3/4 the game could easily be offered via digital download on PSN much like the base game already is.

People tend to forget that (especially for MMOs) we're already well beyond the need for physical distribution for a genre that already requires you to have an active internet connection.

For the record my PC client for FFXIV was from the direct digital upgrade they offered to 1.0 players, so the only physical PC copy i own is my 1.0 disc floating around somewhere.

As is the case for me. I expect the expansion to be available in many ways (physical or digital by Steam, PSN, Mog Station) with varying price points. No, I do not think it will be free.

If it follows the same model as FFXI and with it's expansions it may have to be bought...or it may be free, we will surely know before it is released.

That's really helpful. XD

There is a high chance it will be a free update though I'm not expecting this.
....
Considering how much big the 3.0 will be I bet it will be a charge.

Well don't make an actual choice or anything. Lol.

There's a slim chance it'll be free. Slim

You most likely wont have to buy it

Actually, one of the few things we know is that we will have to buy it.

Shut up fizzie! lol...i can't help i gave i wishy washy response, everything is just speculation right now, nobody knows if it will be free or not(pretty sure it's not going to be free tho..that's just me personally!), this is all in a silly joking manner so yeah.../sticks tongue out at fizzie! XD

Weren't they 30? I'm picturing Treasures of Aht Urghan artbox in my head with the 29.99 sticker on it.

It's been so many years I honestly do not remember something that specific @.@ I was just giving it my best guess.
