*Players who purchased FINAL FANTASY XV MULTIPLAYER EXPANSION: COMRADES can download FINAL FANTASY XV MULTIPLAYER: COMRADES for free. *A Xbox Live Gold membership is required to take part in online multiplayer. Free to $14.99. Can be fun kool idea but holy fkin sh•• the update fu•••• it up or patch doesn't matter this could. Final Fantasy XI Client Downloads. And Sounds_20111214.rar downloads to patch your fresh installation of FFXI. All screenshots were taken on 64-bit Windows 7.
So I do my research and find out that the best way to get into the game was to purchase Realm Reborn. No problem. Except it's not available in physical form ANYWHERE...
So whatever. I'll just purchase it via the PSN because it's only $20 and I get a 30 day trial. Why not?!?! Right?!?!
Welp, I purchase and download the 11 GB game to my brand new PS4 Pro, no problem. Then I proceed the launch the program. Then it opens up this SHITTY ASS client (obviously made for some unoptimized web-browser) and proceeds to make me sign up for a Square Enix account. No problem. I've done this sort of thing before. I'm familiar with the process. So I do it.
1hour later... after I FINALLY receive the confirmation email, it starts downloading crap through the most HORRIBLE game client EVER! Another goddamn 11 GB patch...
I mean seriously?! This thing is going to download a frikin' patch the size of the game download itself? Okay whatever.
Fast forward to 4 DAYS and I have not been able to play the frikin game because after about 1GB into the download of these patch files it quits and says 'unable to download patch files' through the client and automatically relaunches the client and proceeds to make me log in AGAIN!!!!
I've gone through every trouble shoot. I've deleted the game and everything and re downloaded it. Talked to every tech representative from EVERY company (my ISP, PSN, Square Enix online chat) and NO ONE has a solution that DOES NOT make me go over the data cap for my internet service!... which is 1 TB for home network and 2 GBs for my own VPN (using my phone as a tether).
Un-frikin-believable!... what a waste of time, money, and resources...
Has anyone encountered this issue and resolved it? because if the ENTIRE internet is not able to offer a solution then I'm SOL!
Edit: Day 5
Well GOOD NEWS! It worked! I woke up this morning after leaving the PS4 on all night and I saw a big green 'PLAY' button.
That's good right? That means I don't have to download anymore patches right?... RIGHT?!? Lol.
Good riddance what a horrible process.
I got really nervous because when I checked the download around 1am it had slowed to a crawl at .2mb/s. I was patient and persistent though and lft it and it sped back up to .62mb/s around 2am.
Special thanks to AuthenticM and Okawa-San and everyone else that made suggestions.
Final Fantasy 14 Patch Notes
So after scouring the web for a while because me, my girlfriend, and my friend all had the same issue 'Unable to download patch files [30413] [25008] [20495]' while trying to install ff14 i finally came upon a fix that wont take forever like using a free vpn will. It is fairly simple you just change your dns to Level3 dns 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.4. This fix worked for all of us and i'd figure i should post it so others can easily find it on here as it seems to be a relatively common problem judging from the tons of other posts trying to find a solution and the only solution really being thrown around is to use a free vpn to patch that specific file. Anways hope this helps and all credit goes to /u/stuke00
