When I wake up in the morning
And the 'larm gives out a warning
I don't think I'll ever make it on time
By the time I grab my books
And I give myself a look
I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by
It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the bell
So..... because i dont have an active account i cant finish updates lol. i wanted to play and mess around during the free period but i would have to wait until day of to finish updates so itll take a bit longer. SEE YOU ALL SOOON FRANSSSSS. *cough cough* 10M donation to get me on sooner
The free-to-play takes place over 10 days. SquareEnix created a new installer to make the process easier with less need for updating from it. This won't be like installing from disks and then getting over a decade's worth of updates manually.
I think if you download the new installer and then run it all, you can perform a file check to get it up and running without an active Content ID, but am not 100% sure on that. Good luck.
If you internet is so dumpy that you can't get the complete update overnight, you may want to think of looking for a job to pay for things like games that aren't free-to-play and internet that isn't hooked up to a dial-up modem from 1996.
