I'm curious how SE will handle the expansion with Steam

[Violyre]

I know with FFXI, when they upgraded to Adoulin, they had to work around Steam to get a special discount on an upgraded "Vana'diel Collection."

My wondering is if they're going to do the same thing, or if they have plans to make the expansion be bought as an add-on.

I too play FFXIV through Steam and am wondering the same thing.
