I'd like to give Final Fantasy XIV another shot. I purchased the game when it first came out, but I don't have the install disk anymore. Where can I download the client? Googling, and searching the FF XIV forums turn up nothing.
Final Fantasy XIV is currently offline; the original version of the game was shut down in late 2012 to prepare for the upcoming remake/update, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which will be released on August 27, 2013. A Realm Reborn will be available as a free upgrade for anyone who purchased the original game.
Since you're already an owner of the original game, you will be able to play A Realm Reborn as long as you have either registered your original FFXIV registration key to your Square-Enix account, or you still have the original registration key in your possession. In the latter case, it will still be possible to register your original key to your account once ARR has been released.
Furthermore, if you already own the Collector's Edition of FFXIV, you'll receive the digital items included in the ARR Collector's Edition for no charge.
From Square-Enix's Lodestone post here:
Players Who Own FFXIV Version 1.0
Players who own FFXIV version 1.0 will not need to purchase the PC version of FFXIV: ARR and will be able to download the FFXIV: ARR software for free.
Details on downloading the FFXIV: ARR software will be provided at a later date.
Furthermore, users who have version 1.0 registration codes that have not yet been registered will be able to register them and play FFXIV: ARR on PC at the start of the service.
In the meantime, you can still sign up for the ARR beta if you'd like.

Version History
I just purchased Realm Reborn.
It seems like the launcher is trying to download around 9GB.
Ffxiv Arr Client Download Free
When it had around 50MB, I decided to cancel it and then restart it just to make sure that it was able to resume - because my internet connection is not quite stable.
It seems to me like the download begun at 0MB, rather than 50MB as expected.
Does this mean that the downloader can't pause/resume? I'm afraid that my connection will probably have a little downtime at least once during those 9GB.
Reading around the web, I think I saw something about that the game is divided in 5 parts, and when it is done with one it will not have to download it again.
I was downloading the same update, and lost my network connection after downloading about 3 GBs. When I restarted the launcher, the total amount it had to download was lower by the amount I had downloaded.
So there's no real way to pause, as such, except to shut down the launcher. It probably won't have to redownload those 50MBs of yours, but the total amount to download is rounding to the nearest GB, I bet.
I can confirm once you login again after console goes into standby, it resumes with lower amount to download left, but that's only if you have downloaded a certain amount. Unable to activate windows store app store. In my case it needs just over 11 GB. When I downloaded like 4 GB and the console went into standby, when I resumed and logged in it started again but only needed around 6 GB.
