doing work compliance training and came across this weird ass paragraph which turns out is the platform's default filler text but man is it somewhat ominous when unexpected
When we show up to the present moment with all of our senses, we invite the world to fill us with joy. The pains of the past are behind us. The future has yet to unfold. But the now is full of beauty simply waiting for our attention.

yes and that was an awesome idea! this graph is even cooler lol
A stacked bar graph showing the contents of each FFXIV expansion's portion of the overall file size of the game in each copy of the client. This graph shows that about half of the game's file size is the ffxiv repository, and the other half is expansion data. As of 7.55, ffxiv is at 67GB, Heavensward is at 7GB, Stormblood at 9.5GB, Shadowbringers at 11GB, Endwalker is 15GB, and Dawntrail is at 16GB. There is a noticeable increase among all repositories' sizes when going from 6.58 hotfix 2 to 7.0.

cleaning files rn so figured I'd grab this data cause it's interesting to me. XIV game folder file sizes from 2.X to 7.X
A chart showing FFXIV game version compared to file size.

6 game versions are present as series: 2.X, 3.X, 4.X, 5.X, 6.X, and 7.X, connecting subsequent game versions across said series.

2.X: the earliest copy shows as 2.0 beta 2, at barely 8GB. 2.X ends at 2.3 at around 12GB.
3.X: the only copy present is 3.0, at around 17GB.
4.X: 3 copies, starting at 4.06 at 31GB, and ending at 4.56 at almost 40GB. There is a large jump from 4.06 to 4.55 (~7GB)
5.X: 5.0 at 46GB, ending with 5.58 at 58GB. This series contains 29 items, showing 5 clear clusters at similar file sizes, indicating hotfixes.
6.X: 6.0 at 68GB, ending with 6.58 hotfix 2 at 82GB. This series contains 26 items with a similar pattern as 5.X.
7.X: 7.0 at 104GB, ending with 7.55 at 129GB. This series contains 38 items with a similar pattern as 5.X.

[Nintendo Switch™ 2 Version] Regarding an Issue Where It May Take Some Time for the Screen to Come Back to Life After Going Dark During Gameplay (8/5) 

We have confirmed that in the Nintendo Switch™ 2 version, the download may take longer than usual when screen goes dark within the content.

Our investigation has confirmed that when players enter a content area while surrounded by a large number of characters, data loading within that content takes longer than usual from the moment they enter until they exit. When this phenomenon occurs, the delay is particularly noticeable in the following situations:
・When the screen fades to black during a battle phase transition or when you are teleported to a different map within a dungeon
・When the screen fades to black upon revival after being defeated within a dungeon
・When the screen fades to black after using Warp or the Aethernet within a dungeon

Regarding this issue, we have confirmed that in some cases, the data reloading and cache clearing processes required for safe rendering are taking an extended amount of time. We have therefore further optimized these processes to ensure faster data loading even under similar conditions, and we are currently testing the updated program.

We are working to release an update as soon as possible to address this and several other issues, so we ask for your patience until the issue is resolved.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
