Checking ToAU's preorder reqs.

[Epincus]

I'll probably get timeline.jpg'd on this, but whatever, I'll take the chance someone here *doesn't* know this.

Someone tipped me off to check POL's site, and sure enough, ToAU is being shipped only on DVD that I can see, even checked Amazon to confirm. Granted, DVD drives aren't exactly an earth-shattering expense, but if you don't have one, it's likely you may want to know it's DVD-onry before it arrives and you can't install it.

wtf?

lololololol

[SilverBreeze]

Oh shit. I only have a CD-ROM drive....

And before all you people come in here to say LOL YOU DONT HAVE A DVD ROM DRIVE!?

if you have a computer in your house with a DVDrom in it, have them networked, you can share the root of the DVDrom on the other computer with read/write access then open it on your other PC via My Network Places, locate the executable and install from there. It will take a little longer to install because of network transfer and such, but it wont be too bad

Click the box art image and enlarge it. Notice the box says DVD-ROM.

[Epincus]

Again, I'm only speaking on what I've seen so far, so if anyone has information on a download (buy a CD-Key off Square's website?) or a place where it is being sold CD-ROM, feel free to say so.

Because it'll help me out. I'm too lazy to install a DVD-ROM drive. >_>; Hell, I should check if I even have one when I get home.

[Genosync]

lol

I'll figure out a way to distribute the DVD image, you'll have to buy your own copy though for reg. codes.

I'll be getting the NA version, so contact me the day of/after on AIM if you want it, we'll work out a distribution system where people will send to others after they get it or w/e.

[Reality]

there's no reason to ship it on DVD, as it's probably going to only be 1 disc, though if it's two discs I'll get the DVD version

FFXI and CoP and RoZ all where DVD-ROM, but you can still install it without a DVD-ROM drive

...no.

FFXI+ROZ where on 4 CDs.

COP was 2.

Then SE releaded the Vana'diel collection, FFXI+ROZ+COP on one DVD. Guess what, the DVD won't work on a cd-rom drive.

I just checked the boxes to those games, and they all say CD-ROM.

That doesn't even make sense. If it's a DVD-ROM, you can't install it without a DVD drive. lol.

Just reread the thread, thanks a ton for that tip, man. =D That'll really help me out.

[Dezzimal]

The picture is not the reliable part of amazon.com information. I ordered an MP3 player back in the day because it had FM radio as well, in the pic. I tried to get them to give me the "pictured" mp3 player but they insisted I should have read the technical specifications page.
