Yea crono said hes never spent 5 hours D/L ing an update because hes gotten the smaller ones as they came out but if you install FFXI on a pc now the accumlitive updates take 5 hours to update since they change the look of the game for the differnt seasons. And they added some new EQ and such.

then they really goofed up and arent sure how to do PC games because it should only be the last update you need, MAYBE the last couple.

most of that stuff copies over the previous, like changing the look each season? well why would you have to download the look of one just to copy over it with the look of another?
PC updates dont work like that.

do they MAKE you download each one or do you get to pick?

for the first 4 or 5 months that the game was out they had an update like every month. They recenly had a big update were they added LOTS of new quests and items and such. One update had like 5-10 pages of new content added.

Square's crazy way of doing FFXI updates from the beginning (ie: fresh install of game) is why it takes 5 hours. I've seen it first hand and dont understand it but meh.
