    Will we be able to continue to launch a PC version of this game with Steam after this update? Currently we can play non steam games using their software.

    No, you'll only be able to launch the game trough Steam (which will launch it trough their verification servers first). There is currently no way to do this manually and I doubt there will ever be a way.

    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    I'm running a PC (non Steam) version of FF now using the Steam launcher. There is the option to run other non Steam games as well. So you're saying this update will affect that ability or will that apply just to Final Fantasy XIV Steam owners?

    All they have said is that Steam users will need to start the game from Steam. They've also said non-Steam will be unaffected if they launch the game from Steam
    I hope this is the case. I guess we'll find out as you say in a couple weeks.

    Apologies I misread that.

    As of right now Valve has not stated any change in the ability to add .exe's to run as 'non steam game'. So, you will still be able to run the non Steam version trough Steam.
