If I pay and download from SquareEnix and end up having to format my computer, or want to install it on a 2nd machine or something like that, will I be able to download it again for free and just login with my character? Or would I be screwed and have to rebuy the game just to download it again?
If I buy it on Steam I think I can download the game as many times as I want but this message on the official Steam page for FFXI states;

Any help/insight appreciated.
