Okay, I had heard rumors about the long setup time of this game, but what I found was near-ridiculous. First you need to install the client that runs the game (PlayOnline). That took some time. Then you needed to install FF Online itself. That took an hour or so, I'm not sure. Then when I ran it, I needed to update the game. No problem, there, I'll just start downloading and OVER TWO HOURS LATER(!!!) it finished. Now I don't know about any other games, but that's a long time. But never mind that, I was ready to play.
