PS4 Disc

This sounds so strange to me. I've never had to play XIV with the disc in on PS4 and I've had SB installed since the day it was released. It installed off of the disc once and that was it.

Not sure on that. Their support FAQ just says that if you have the physical version of ARR you have to use the disc. But it doesn't say if upgrading to the digital collector's edition of ARR will cause you to not need the disc. It does say that if you have the digital version of ARR or the All in One pack you wont need the disc... so. I'm not sure if there is a way or not. Maybe they could make a "Disc Install" option in the future that let's you no longer need the disc.

Well, that's ARR. They could have fixed that with Stormblood for all we know. When I got the SB expansion, it came with the disc, it installed from the disc...and haven't needed to use it ever since then. ARR and HW were both digitally downloaded for me. SB was the only thing that I had a physical copy of.
