    "Players of the PS4® version of FFXIV will need to re-download all update files, as they have been made compatible for the PS4® patch system. We apologize for this inconvenience."

    Outside of this, this is fantastic news, just not looking forward to having to re-download all update files again.

    Actually it's bad news for PS4 players. The PS4 patcher is ill suited for large games like FF14. Expect regular patches to take anytime from 1 to 5 hours. Any large game on the PS4 takes this long to patch.

    Really cause any game I've played on console that required a large download was only limited by the speed of my internet... which is the current situation anyway by doing downloads via the FFXIV launcher.

    Being able to set auto downloads is much more useful for me (and maybe others too) and will help a lot to avoid situations in the past when downloads would experience errors in the launcher, forcing players to restart the download. I know it was annoying to deal with when the Shirogane housing first came, was hell trying to download everything because of damn errors.

    What are you basing this off of? Why do you think a patcher is bad for larger games?

    The size of most their patches hovers around 1gb. I've downloaded patches of this size before that would download at most in half an hour to an hour depending on how fast my internet was at the time on my ps4 (my lowest speed was 20, highest 100). The bonus now is you can just leave your ps4 in rest mode to download once the patch goes live. I've since moved on to PC but I wouldve loved this option when I was on ps4.

    The only downside is redownloading everything first. It will take quite some time.

    The re-download will take awhile, yes. Regular patches won't be worse than any game patch.

    What is good is the cut of install size.
    What is good you won't have to be logged in.
    What is good you can get download in rest mode (especially good on exp pre-download)
