Yes for FFXI the reason players went to 3rd party tools is because SE lack to add a windower mode to the game. When they did add windower to FFXI it was too late the Damage was done. Top of that the windower for FFXI lack you lost way to many FPS vs the 3 party tool. It's just sad that the player base could make a better windower then SE team could.

So please Square einix try and make alt,tab for FFXIV while in FFXIV full screen we all gain 10-20FPS and still allowing us to see the internet.

Not to mention we need to tab out to switch music files.

This is the biggest technical gripe I have with the game. The game should NOT crash when alt-tabbing out of full screen mode. I use a crossfire setup on my desktop which only runs properly if the game is in a real full screen mode. Running in windowed mode causes the card the second card to just sit idle. I take a good performance hit because of this.

Additionally since I have two monitors if I use the mouse and overshoot the XIV screen and click on the second monitor I also crash out since it looses focus.

Its unacceptable that this happens.

Yes to full screen Alt-Tab!!!

I have been wanting Alt-Tab functionality in full screen since the game was released. I hate being forced to stay out of full screen so I can use my PC. I hate even more that my second graphics card cannot be used because of this.

+1 Alt-Tab @ Full-Screen

Agreed with the rest, there is no reason why ALT-Tab out of FUllscreen cannot exist and it's must have priority.
Please fix this.

they REALLY need to impliment this now. I just found out Crossfire mode for multi-GPU only works properly in full screen ><. If i cant get full power out of my processors and still use my translator to talk to my friends........ i'll cry!!!

Please SE.

create a Windowed Fullscreen mode that allows alt-tab.

It is a shame they have yet to learn how to make a full screen that you can tab out and get back to. I have lost so many leves to popups on my computer. Not to say that every time I needed to make adjustments to my second computer, I had to log all the way back out to fix the settings. Guess the only way to play this game with the least amount of hassle is buy a console, or just don't play at all.

Please SE.
