Client download

[Neff]

Hello all, going to buy the game tomorrow and start playing! yay? hehe

What I want to ask is, is their a download location to download the client? After I register my account/code etc, is there a place to download the client instead of installing it from dvd?

The reason I ask is because I want to buy the Vana'diel collection but its dvd and I dont have a dvd-rom.

Hopefully someone replies to me by tomorrow because I don't want to go buy the game if I can't download the client.

There is a downloadable client of FFXI, but you have to have a key to get it. How do you get a key? You have to buy a Logitech product to even get it. I warn ya, the game is a whopping 4 GB download (I think, need to conform this).

Then you can always get a DVD-ROM drive; fortunately those aren't too expensive either (Got a sweet one for $30 after a $40 rebate). It hasn't failed me yet.

no, there is only a download client for the stand-alone FFXI game. you will not have any of the expansions.

if you are going to spend $20 on the game, might as well spend another $20 for the DVD ROM.
