Reverting Title Screens?

[Enkidoh]

What? I literally have no idea what you mean by this.. You can't uninstall expansion packs from MMOs, nor would anyone do so just to revert a title screen. People who don't have SB/HW installed aren't reverting back to anything.... it's simply what they still have.

I mean when you install the game (such as on a new PC or if you have to wipe your hard drive and reinstall the game from scratch), just install the base game and not the expansions (of course, this is only possible if you were like me and have been playing the game since version 1.0 and have the game and expansions as separate copies that have to be installed individually - you also have to turn off the function in the launcher's Config that automatically downloads any expansion packs you've purchased and registered as part of the patching process). Also I have no idea how the PS4 handles expansion data and updates (I only have the PC version) so I don't know if that would work with the PS4 version.

As long as the expansion data is not installed (or just the expansion data for Heavensward and not Stormblodd) it will revert the title screen to the default ARR one (or alternatively HW's one if there is just HW data). You can also tell if this will be the case when logging in as after logging in on the launcher, the FFXIV logo will change to either ARR's logo or HW's logo instead of SB's.

So I do admit it is tricky and only possible if you have the base game and expansion packs as separate copies, but it is possible to do. Of course one may think this is probably more trouble than it's worth just to see the ARR/HW title screen and the earlier versions of Prelude, so maybe being able to revert the title screen to an earlier version in Config is not such a bad idea after all.
