    Supposedly you should only need to download http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/ that again, as it will update the launcher first. It isn't supposed to overwrite newer files with older ones. If people think they have to download 17GB, then they likely uninstalled the entire game first.

    If it's like any other MMO, all you really need to do is roll-back the version number.
    eg go to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\boot
    Open ffxivboot.ver and see if it has 2015.05.20.0000.0001 in it.

    Let me know how you go Orchidias, I d/led the link Kisai posted as well previously. And the first thing the client asked was to uninstall game rather than update client only which i hit yes to.

    Did you tell it 'yes' to uninstall and then it didn't actually uninstall?
