This is the final version, and as I'd hoped, it's not just for P4 but also early access & official launch.

Exactly the same link I provided days earlier. There is no difference as the one I d/l and used automatically updated to a newer version of the client and will continue to do so leading up to Phase 4 opening.

It may be better to think of it as a portal/updater program, since it doesn't have the game data. It's not all that 'final', either--it required an update on first launch, and I'd be mildly surprised if it doesn't get another update or two before the release date.

Re: Final Client Available

Was all excited to start downloading the game... Launched the patcher and we can't download the full client yet. QQ

Yeah that miffed me a bit as well the other night.

Oh well, back to Xillia!

Re: Final Client Available

Now it really is available. Ladies and gentleman start your downloads.

Re: Final Client Available

Yep, updating my client right now.


EDIT: HOLY SHIT 7.3 GB download ><

Re: Final Client Available

Yep, its a whopper all right!

Re: Final Client Available

That's only the open beta download. The rest of the client will be available for launch. Should be about 20 gigs in total.

@.@ yeesh.


Also, they did a LOT of changes from P3 - we're gonna have to re-test everything as Aeni and I suspected.

I honestly don't like that they've lowered the max # of attempts when gathering from 6 to 4 or the removal of dark matter from gathering :/

I just hope they bumped up the XP gain to compensate.

Re: Final Client Available

Well it says they adjusted the GP cost and effect of all the skills, though nothing on GP recovery rate so... we'll see.

It takes up 20GB uncompressed. The download will be far smaller than that and 7.3GB is actually a pretty reasonable size for all of the game's files when compressed.

Skyrim is a great example, the Steam download is only 5GB but the game takes up 15-20 GB depending on DLC and mods.

Re: Final Client Available

I know you guys in the US are probably all asleep now but on opening of the P4 its a JP only situation LOL. All Japanese servers are up, none of the NA or EU servers are.

Could be some kind of staggered login process from SE or it could be a screw up, either way it amused me it favours the Japanese players, who would have imaged that would happen?

Sometimes living in (roughly) the same time zone as Japan isn't a good thing... Nestama (Last Name I've already forgotten) the Roegadyn must live!
