PSO2es question

Hey guys, just wanna know whats the data download for?, i mean, guides say normally you just have placeholder icons for stuff and this downloads all the real stuff, but i don't really get it, i already have all my weapons and armor from the main game, and when i equip them, they seem to do the damage they should and stuff, so im not sure what's this 3 gig download for O_o

You can normally see your equipment, costumes and accessories as it is without it, because es downloads it upon logging in. But partner characters have all placeholder looks. With that 3GB download you can see their real appearance.

oh i see, so its just for partners then. I think i'll pass, its getting pretty hard to download that much info =/ the game ends up crashing after a while. Thanks for the answer
