Added data for the game, let's guess!

[Jican]

Are you all not reading the ENTIRE comment on lodestone? Let me copy paste the message in it's entirety, not just what you all seem to be nit picking.

The following is an announcement for those currently playing only FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. This announcement does not affect users playing FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward or the all-in-one FINAL FANTASY XIV Online. The previously announced disk space required for FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn will increase on all platforms with the release of Patch 3.2 currently scheduled for release in February 2016. This is due to the fact that the development team has added a substantial amount of new content to FINAL FANTASY XIV since the launch of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

The new disk space requirement will differ on each platform. Please check the updated disk space requirements outlined below and ensure your console or computer has adequate storage space. If your console or computer does not have enough storage space available, you will be unable to launch FINAL FANTASY XIV, so please ensure your console or computer has adequate storage space before the release of Patch 3.2 currently scheduled for release in February 2016.

Platforms Space required before Patch 3.2 Space required after Patch 3.2
Windows 20GB 30GB
Mac 20GB 30GB
PlayStation®3 12GB 20GB
PlayStation®4 40GB 50GB


I have taken the liberty to bold and underline the reason I have made this thread, and wanted to have a fun little chat about guessing what they could be adding that would require such an extensive increase in the amount of data required before everyone else hijacked the thread and turned it into a pissing contest.

Please explain how and why they would add 10GB of "NEW" data only for ARR and not HW.

besides, what you've highlighted is what we've tried to explain; they are making it so you require the content patches from 2.0 up to 3.2 installed on the disk to be able to launch it, which adds 10gb to the disk requirements.

they're literally just updating the information about the amount of space required to launch and play the game in its current version over how much was required when the game was just ARR
