Alt + Tab yes please :D

i dunno about the rest of you playing xiv but I sure would like to be able to Alt + Tab to the desktop with the game crashing.

I doubt this will ever-ever get fixed, its still a problem in XI. Its most likely why they dont have in-game options for a lot of graphical adjustments because the game cannot re-render.

Just play the game in windowed mode at your preferred resolution. Besides the window bar at the top, it's identical to the full screen setting.

Final Fantasy XI was a port from the PS2 to the PC which then was ported to the 360 -- it wasn't rewritten for the PC.

the windowed isnt exactly great either due to the fact if u put it on 1920x1080 resolution on a 1920x1080 monitor the very bottom of the screen is not going to be visible, and since the windowed version doesnt have a working maximize/minimize button you are completely helpless to this problem.

Yes this would be a nice feature, i like to play in full screan mode but now that means im locked into my game.

and XIV is practically a console port too with the way its designed. But even a port can be fixed up :S they just dont know how to nore care?

i endorse this. Fullscreen help minimize processor and gpu work (it don't need to render the desktop and everything) resulting in better performance, too bad can't be tabbed :| hope in a fix for that, but my experience in ffxi tell that'll be looong

Not to mention the quality drop is quite significant.

please add this, I play in 3d (which requires fullscreen mode) and can't access the web for crafting recipes and such while I play. It's seriously annoying.
