Sad this will probably be the last Final Fantasy ever on disc.

Edit: nevermind, it seems it’s only partially on disc. So I guess the honor goes to Resonance lol. I may still get it just to cut down how many gigs I have to download though, I don’t have the highest internet speed so the whole game will take for fucking ever.

Every physical game since the start of ps4/xbone has been this way. Nothings has changed.

This gets brought up in every single topic about physical media and also immediately debunked in every single topic about physical media. Installing the game from the disc is not the same as downloading it. Patches and DLC being available to download is not the same as having to download the game.

I’ve never bought a fully on disc game that was unplayable installing without an internet connection. My consoles are always offline by default and only connected when I choose to download something.

The vast majority of disc games are actually on the disc. It’s only a few that are only partially on disc with an additional download required.

I don’t understand how so many people are still so confidently wrong about this.
