Which is better the steam version or the FF14 client? (I mean the steam version uses the FF14 client anyways right?)

They're the same clients ... one you login through steam the other is a stand alone client.

Wherever you buy it, the game will need to update anyway. MMOs thrive on weekly patches.

No, not if you tie it to your Steam account. You will need two licenses. Steam has a sale occasionally, got mine for $2.99 around Christmas.It's still worth the $20 if you like the game. I have put at least 50 hours into it playing multiplayer with the kids. No issues, no glitches, great graphics on Win7 and 8.1.

This version of the game is the PC version stand alone download. You cannot link it through steam or anything else. However, I found out that the developers are really understanding and friendly. If you provide them with proof of purchase they will give you a steam key all you have to do is send them an email through their website. Cheers :)

There's PC and PC download, but both are activated through Steam and will likely need patched. Either way Skyrim is worth the wait!

No, this version does not require steam. The entire reason I bought this game was because it does not have steam at all.

I installed Steam but not sure if it is absolutely necessary. I believe it is if you wish to game with others on the net.

If you are buying the PC version, then yes; you must have an internet connection. Also you have to have a Steam account otherwise game will not work. A steam account is free to set up if you do not have one.

In FF it is not smooth at all. I never considered that before. I thank you for your info.

Yeah it is, that's the reason I got it, I use it with steam all the time. Might be a bit stiff untill you us just the sesitivy settings, works great after.

This item is not a steam download. You will get a link to install and you install it independently as a stand alone game. You will have to look for the right folder to play the expansions as they are included in the download but are independent from the main game!!

I couldn't get mine to do anything with steam. It uses Uplay which behaves much like steam, it's been a Tom Clancy proprietary program for a while and as such is required to run the game regardless of how you purchase/install the program. Wish I had a better answer for ya, but it's a great game, though the pvp gets a little redundant pretty quick in comparison to a lot of shooters.

What specifically are you having trouble with? I have found the game to be very playable and steam to be a good resource.

Both require steam. Sucks i know but you have to have steam in order to play

The CE version has the extra perks, the regular FF14 game is just the game itself, no extra perks.

Steam just released an extended edition which surely is compatible. I'm fairly certain this edition works on 8 but I can't say as I played it on 7

If you're going to purchase it from Steam, then obviousy yes. If you purchase it from Amazon, no. I purchased the download version of MTW II . No Steam required, even in disk format.
