are you sure? i had this issue too until i went into my actual monitor settings and set it 144fps. then FFxiv changed its values. Not home to check atm but I do remember that. I hope Valk is right.
You know what? I'm stupid. I forgot to reset that back to 144hz when my system crashed a couple of days ago...

I pray to God they mean refresh 3/2 and didn't revert it to 90 fps max.
Tipical square enix, they didnt announced this change in none of the one hundred events they did.....im paying for an upgrade, not a downgrade.....i play at 144 fps and want to keep playing at 144 fps.......
oh, i ve read your post above, i hope it is as you say (it makes sense), i dont really want to be fps capped, as long 1/1 is 144 for me....im fine.
They had to change the unlimited setting because it allowed players and bots to move OOB in certain areas.
