That's pretty huge considering that we already downloaded a ton of armor DATs. Isn't this the biggest download in recent years?

[Pikarya]

1/2 the size of wotg retail iirc.

[Midnightjade]

Uh-oh, this could be a long download. And there was me forgetting to check my plants this morning.

[Kaslo]

Fuck that 360 download time /sigh

Nope, there was NOTHING in this update, so it's rather small.

/typical pessimist

But really it is one of the bigger updates in awhile, I think about the same size as the ZNM update, so it's obvious they have added quite a bit, which I think it's for the Evolith..because this update is too big for quest additions, code changes and animations, because animation .dats aren't that big either..so this evolith system is another fairly large addition to FFXI like ZNM was.

Considering the update was broken into 3 parts yeah it is a damn big update..something for everyone that doesn't only care about HNMs really.

Um. Math fail, Will? In your defense, it is almost a tenth pf a gig.

I think the Evolith stuff is whats due for late nov. This update was broken up into 3 parts, everything but Evolith (and any surprises I guess) is due for today.

The real question is: 1000 or 1024 MB per GB?

As a computer scientist, I am a proponent of powers-of-two. Also, I'm not fond of purchasing a 1 TB hard drive and finding out it's less than 960 MB.
