Question about upgrading to Endwalker (I'm a physical Disc User)

[Kaliesto]

I play via PS4, but I heard that Endwalker won't have discs this time, so left with having to buy digital.

Which I did before when pre-ordering Shadowbringers back then, and ran into no issues (like it creating another service account by accident).

I won't run into this issue with Endwalker correct? It was saying it needed the starter edition, but when I tried that before when I bought the Digital Starter Edition it created another service account, and completely wouldn't let me get to my character.

Just need re-assurance I'm not making a mistake before I go dump 59.99 on Enderwalker Digital Collection >_>.

The lack of information regarding Disc Users is really frustrating.

Thank you in advance if anyone has a answer.


EDIT (I FOUND THE ANSWER)

You'll continue to need a FFXIV disc even if you bought the expansion digitally. The only real way to change this is to remove and reinstall the game from the Purchased Library

Omg that is so painful to do because the download speeds is abysmal, couldn't Yoshi P. be a bit more merciful via some kind of service?

For those that were looking for a similar answer just re-direct them this.
