Exactly. You can play in windowed mode like it was fullscreen and alt+tab as much as u like ;P

Using AutohHotkey and this script.
^+a::
WinSet, Style, -0xC00000,a ; remove the titlebar and border(s)
WinMove, a, , 0, 0, 1366, 768 ; move the window to 0,0 and resize it to 1366x768
return

Copy this in txt and after that - rename in (example) FFXIV.ahk
And beautiful!) playing pseudo Full Screen and can use Alt+Tab
P.S.
^+a= Shift+Ctrl+A

We shouldn't have to be computer hackers to be able to switch to a web browser in a game that all but requires use of 3rd party websites...

im surprised nobody has mentioned the fact that using third party programs is a bannable offense and i have herd of ppl in FFXI getting banned for using third party software simply for the sake of being able to alt+Tab, back when FFXI didnt have its own windower that is.

Get over yourself. Standard feature is standard. Anything else is substandard.

I don't know how I so easily walk in to some of these little spouts. they are silly, and there is no point to them.

I have told myself I'd do better about not getting into bickery, and I will stick to it. I'm sorry Molly_Millions. I'm going to walk away from this. I should not of pushed such a simple, and arbitrary thing to a stupid level.

We're all here for a common purpose (hopefully) discuss the game, the pros the cons, and hopefully also how to make it better.

And having a border at top of screen plus bottom being cut off in 1080p windowed is pointless, so is not being able to access 3rd party websites & info in such a massive game.

While this usually a PC game basic, I think the decision to not add it is due to the ease of running third party programs while FFXIV is running.

Anyone who wants to run a third party program knows how to work around the lack of ALT+TAB, so they are mostly inconveniencing their more casual players.

Of course, everyone has their old computer sitting around anyway. ALT-TAB would be nice, but then that old PC would truely be worthless.
