I was wondering do i need a DvD drive to play this game or is it possible to play with just a cd drive. I hope that i can play with a cd drive cause i wont be able to play otherwise

Re: Need DvD drive to play
If you don't have a DVD drive, you won't be able to install the game onto your PC directly. That said, if you're a part of a network, you can install it on another PC and transfer it over.
Or just shell out a meager few dollars for a DVD drive. They are fairly common these days and not that expensive.

Re: Need DvD drive to play
As in buy a DVD drive that you can connect to your computer. It would be fairly ridiculous to suggest you buy an entirely new PC just to play.
I'd suggest checking somewhere like Newegg.com for one, but if you'd rather just run down to your local Best Buy, you can find something like this which will do the trick just fine.Comment

Re: Need DvD drive to play
I edited with a link to one at Best Buy in my last post. You can generally find them at or around $50. Sometimes lower if you shop around, sometimes higher if you don't.Comment

Getting a DVD drive for your PC isn't a bad thing. It's for the best, really.Comment

Re: Need DvD drive to play
how bad would it be if i didnt buy the expansion pack treasures of whatever would i still be able to play till i got enough money for it. And if i can play how badly will it affect me for making my first character. Because from what i've read it seems like it is higher-end contentComment

Re: Need DvD drive to play
Well, if you have an older version of the game, you could install it just fine. But if you have the Vana'diel Collection (Gold Box), then it's also DVD-Rom so you're kind of screwed.
And no, you don't need to buy the expansion right away. In fact, I'd suggest against it if this is your first time with FFXI. If you find that you like the game, then buy the expansion. If not, you didn't just spend $50 on something you don't need.Comment

Re: Need DvD drive to play
Well, that's a different story altogether.
If I could afford a new PC...well, actually I don't need a new PC. I just need more RAM and a better video card (and I could use a sound card, I guess), and I'll be set for a few more years.
But if you have the resources to just buy a new PC, have at it. :DComment
