Look I knew they released FFI on MSX, but I didn't know they sold FFXIV on a disk!

(Disc not disk!) ... Anyway.


It's basically to prevent confusion for new players, but also they'll be selling the new discs for $39.99 so it's already reduced from a full game price.

It's really nothing malicious, it makes sense to do this, as they are attempting to completely re-brand and re-release the game. If a new player bought a 1.0 disc all the data they installed from that disc would be useless, the process of getting them into the game would be cumbersome and confusing.
