My client totals at 9.11GB. Looks to be fine!

Beta was essentially the final product though, all they really had to do was remove the Exp block and tweak bugs.

I thought they were adding something like higher-resolution / less-compressed graphics? Apologies I don't know the technical terms.

That is coming in the "DirectX 11" patch later down line, not at launch. This patch is pretty much removal of exp block and bug fixing entirely.

I reckon they've added something, I mean the removal of the experience block is probably a server side modification which shouldn't affect the client.

As for bug fixes? That's code, maybe a few tweaks to graphical assets, but I'd be really surprised if it all added up to 1gig of data. In most cases if you're downloading a gig, you're downloading a decent amount of graphical assets, the bulk of it being textures and models. I guess maybe they might have had to update and replace some zone maps?

...Technical mumbo jumbo, I don't care if they made Lalafell shorter and Chocobo's slower!

JUST LET ME PLAY, SQUARE!

If it was anything significant or game changing they would have posted notes about it. Bug fixes are a probability but again i think they would have posted a note about it. I guess we just wait and see if they come out and say something and if not it's maintenance on some grand scale.

And could they even make Lalafell any shorter? From screenshots they look pretty puny and people like to make them as short as possible.

Hello. I just thought I'd post a heads-up since there's been some discussion about patch sizes and stuff.

I play on the PC, and when this thread first went up I had a measly 1.9 MB update (seemed like a launcher update). But just now (about 8:25 PM CST) I ran the launcher and I'm downloading a 1,035.90 MB update after signing in with my password and everything.

So I suppose it wouldn't hurt checking to see if there is a download available.
