    What Will I Get In This One Please?

    Okay, I have decided to buy a new version of FFXl since the one I attempted an uninstall and reinstall on (my decision to uninstall came about because I was playing around with some of the .DAT files and I completely deleted a couple from my system by mistake. I was worried that it might give something strange or some texture missing or something, which is why I uninstalled to do a reinstall again) has being a complete pain in the rear for me! As such, my game just will not install for me now, and I got some stupid error! It won't work anymore!

    This is the one I'm interested in. (its on amazon. am I allowed to link to there?)
    FFXl Deluxe Edition

    Is there anyone else out there who has bought this type?
    If so, I would just like to know what is included in it please?

      Perhaps what until the 20th and get a pack with all the expansions (including WotG)? If you can wait that long, at least.

        There is no release set for a pc version that has all expansions. You would have to buy wotg separately regardless.

          That version snowball has quite alot of teh updates on it so should reduce the amoutnmof update files to download, and also being on DVD takes less to install thre program.

          I had to do the mamoth re-install yesterday after my copmp went tits up and I have the old 7 disk eu version of the game with 2 expansions and the dvd version of TOA. leyts just say it took 7 hours to install and update.

          I will be purchasing that version to save me all this trouble again.

          what i have noticed though snowball is that amazon do not have the WOG expansion for pre-order. Yet play.com does....

            I really don't think there's a need to buy a new copy since if the old one won't reinstall then it's highly likely that a new version won't either. Did you uninstall everything properly and then reinstall completely, ie starting from PlayOnline, then FFXI, Zilart, Promathia, Aht Urhgan?

              Surely it wouldn't be that long until they do bring out the PC version? Or do you think they just wouldn't at all?

              True. I think it has to do with more than just your CD's. Perhaps try formatting and re-installing, or un-install and clean up the registry files? I'm not really sure, but it could have something to do with your registry files (they usually stay there even if you un-install the game).

                Imo, I think they will wait a few months before releasing an all inclusive package deal with WotG. If WotG brings in new players or old players that want to start new, then buying the package up to ToAU plus the expansion pack of WotG brings in more revenue. Once sales slow down a bit then they might release a full package including WotG. Just makes basic business sense.

                  SE release ToAU on 4/20/2006. The "2007" FFXI collection was released 11/7/2006. That's a good 7 months where SE wanted to milk individually priced expansions before they bundled it together with the rest of the game.

                    Re: What Will I Get In This One Please?

                    Ah I see. Well that makes sense. I mean, I'd still pay the full price of the new expansion and the original and other expansions (just the same as if buying separately) simply because of convenience. But that's just me I guess.

                    Oh well, I don't know why I am saying that, I already have it all installed. So I only need to buy the expansion separately.

                      Blast! I must have missed that bit. I didn't see it til a bit later after I asked.
                      Nevermind. I got it now at least.
                      ------------------------------------------









                      I just found this at amazon too, on pre-order.

                      As you can see, there's no image available yet, so presumably there's no let up of actual game release on amazon yet either. But when it does, I've no doubt that it will be out all across the U.S.A before it comes to the U.K. So until then... I'm just going to wait. And yes, I believe you guys when you say there is no peep of a full pack which has WotG included in it. I probably would have found one by now if there was, but obviously there isn't. I will buy it seperately instead when it becomes available to buy.

                      Don't they tend to just bring out the expansions on their own for a while first, then I'll bet that later on, they will make an all inclusive pack then, when it's been out for a while already? I think that's what usually happens with games like these.

                      @ "Jarre"
                      Thanks for the short note on a pre-order at play.com. I had a quick look at that, and I might think about pre-ordering it there, but I don't have any plans to do so atm. I'm going to wait a while and see what happens.

                      I also have quite an old copy of FFXl.
                      It's a bit likeTHIS ONE except on PC, and without the ToAU expansion. So with about 6 or 7 discs at the most, it does take up rather a lot of updating and stuff, which took God knows how many hours!

                      So when I get this new copy.... hopefully I won't have to go through that much.

                      @ Everyone.

                      I'm fairly certain that I did uninstall 'ALL'' of my game from my system by removing it from the "Add Or Remove" option in the control panel on my PC. That's always the best way to try and get rid of everything at least. But just to make 100% certain... when I get my new copy, I'm going to format my hard drive before installing it. At least then I will know that there should be no problems when I come to install the game again

                        Make sure you know your PlayOnline ID and password ... I'd hate for you to install a new copy of the game, register with the registration codes you just received and then wonder where your characters were ...

                          I will be getting the collection you mentioned in your first post... then maybe its only a file check and 1 hour of updates..

                            Personally, I have a back up of all the files for FFXI on DVD (well, 2 DVDs). It means that what I do if I need to reinstall is install the discs, then copy the info from the DVDs into the folder. All you need do then is a file check (which will take a while) and voila! Your game is updated. Every time there is a patch I take the time to resave onto DVD. 1 hour or 7 hours. Your choice!

                              It doesn't always (I'm not sure if it ever does) delete the registry files.
