    Software distribution

    So how is the 2.0 software going to be distributed? Are we going to receive a new disc? Im doing a new build and don't want to imagine having to do a long install followed by a longer download with another long install .../sigh

    Probably a download... Distributing disks would be a waste of money and time for the company.

    It's the year 2012 if you haven't noticed. Not 2001.

    That's not very considerate to those on capped bandwidth or limited speed such as public/campus internet.

    That is my #1 concern my max download is 300kb/s, what the size going to be 10 gigs? 15 gigs? I will at least pay for the shipping of a new disc I dont care I just dont want to DL for 3 days.

    To be fair though, it's not their issue in this case, it's more of a personal problem This is the life of when people decide everything should be digital lol. There will likely be disks for the launch, but since most of us already bought the PC version, no need for us to rebuy it unless they will offer collectors editions of it as well.

    I think it's mostly because people kept yelling at SE for not doing digital downloads.

    2.0 will also feature an improved FFXIV downloader.
    If squares not too stupid they will also distribute it over at their steam-like thingy.
