Stormblood Question

[SnowyPoupa]

Greetings,
I have 2 questions regarding Stormblood Early Access.
Considering my internet is not the best and i download with max 900Kb/s i wanted to know :
1)When we will be able to start downloading the expansion?After servers will go down or as someone told me in my FC when they will open again?The second option is not that good cause i will miss most likely the first day of Early Access!
2)What is an estimate of Download size of the expansion?

Thanks for your time,
Snowy

1) If it's like previous major patches / expansion - The patch will be up during maintanence. How early / late during that time is a mystery but probably sooner rather than later due to the patch size.

2) Heavensward was 8.3 GB if that's any indication. Any answer you get will be speculation but that's not a bad guide to go off.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer!
If that is the case i can launcher to patch the game all night and at morning when the expansion launches i can play!
Have a nice day
Thank you

I can't remember how it was with HW.
But I'm expecting we won't be able to start downloading untill atleast the second half of the maintanence.

My PSN preorder states I can start pre-download on 14th so im assuming around 14th-15th
