History with expansions on FFXI. Brought to you by Nestama.

Some years back, I bought FFXI for the PC on Steam. It came with all expansions and the Abyssea add-ons (before Adoulin). Some time throughout the year, my laptop decided it didn't want to live on this planet, so I decided to buy FFXI for the X360. The disc I bought only came with expansions leading to ToAU (did not need the code), which meant I could NOT access Wings of the Goddess zones, nor the Abyssea zones, as they were a part of that expansion. So I bought the WotG expansion from eBay and was set to play the game (again, did not need the code, as everything was already registered to my account). Some time later, Adoulin comes out and I buy it for the X360. A year passes and I finally get myself a PC that can handle games. Although I have not re-downloaded FFXI from my Steam account yet, I already know I will need to buy Adoulin for the PC just to access the new zones (and Jobs).

Although I did not need the codes for WotG to play on the 360 (PS2, X360 and PC are all linked to the same SE account), I still needed the disc to install the data. Likewise for when I buy Adoulin for the PC. Won't need the code, but WILL need the install data.

tl;dr: Nothing in this world is free. Deal with it.
