Software distribution

[Carzilla]

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.

Somewhere in an interview I don't feel like looking up right now Yoshi answered "download".

[Risae]

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.

steam-like thingy.

They have a Steamthingy? You're not thinking PlayOnline are you?

What do you mean? I just find it weird that they're going to start distributing the game client possibly half a year before the release of the game.

You have to test it somehow ;p
