I'm posting this for anyone who needing help with the 'Unable to download patch files.' error when attempting to login. Specifically, this fix relates to error code [20512][25008][20525]. This fix, as far as I know, is specific to PS4.
After several several hours of frustration, let me first tell you what did NOT work:
![Download Download](/uploads/1/2/4/7/124707313/757152904.jpg)
-Reinstalling FFXIV -Reinstalling Heavensward expansion -Deleting PS4 game data. -PS4 Safe Mode -Port forwarding -Firewall workarounds -MTU adjustments
and, the LEAST helpful attempt at a solution:
Ffxiv Patch 4.3

-Square Enix support
So after all of this headache, I finally figured out a solution that worked for me. It seems that patch files are downloaded using P2P protocols. When there is a significant patch file (as was the case for me) your ISP likely sees it as torrenting activity that it will either throttle or block. For reference, my ISP is AT&T Uverse.
So the workaround for me was to use a VPN, which in of itself was complicated af. The setup requires a computer, VPN client, wireless internet connection, and ethernet cable. The computer, connected via wireless internet, needs a VPN client installed and running on it (I used Cyber Ghost, which is simple and free for these purposes). You then physically connect the PS4 to your computer using an ethernet cable. You then need to bridge the ethernet and wireless connections. (This link might help if you need assistance with that.)
Now, on your PS4 go to your internet connection settings and set up a new LAN connection (the Easy/Automatic process should work.) At this point, your PS4 should be connected through your computer's VPN via the ethernet cable. Start FFXIV, log in, and try downloading the patch file again. It will likely be SLOOOOOOW because it is going through the VPN but it should work.
I hope this post saves someone the incredible frustration I had over the past 24 hours because nothing I found was directly on point, especially from Squenix. I'm not a tech guy (at all) so please forgive any terminology screw-ups. I can try to answer any questions but again I'll be very limited by my own ignorance. Good luck!
