@Devs: Please give us a windowed borderless option.

I know we'll be able to run FFXIV:ARR in a window, but there's an option that many developers still ignore and that I personally find completely indispensible nowadays: borderless window or windowed fullscreen (depending how you want to call it)

basically, the ability to run the game in a window that occupies the whole screen without having to suffer the space-wasting and frankly ugly borders that Windows applies to it.

Some could ask: Why not just running full screen? The reason is simple. The borderless window combines the aesthetics and scree space-saving of full screen with the ALT+TAB and multitasking ease of a window, making it much easier to play for those that have the need to ALT+TAB frequently.

Can we please have it? I don't think it's too difficult to implement, and it's a very big quality of life improvement for many.

I'm pretty sure they said they were going to do this somewhere.

I'd love a link if anyone can find it, as all i heard was about the ability to ALT+TAB.

I'd say they probably already added it in beta. -hint hint-

This is a tough one to answer without breaking the NDA. Just gotta see for yourself soon. ^^

Maybe Someone haven't tried yet the Beta or Alpha?

That'd be the least of their problems.

I was gonna pop in here to say my good friend in beta (identity withheld) told me there may or may not be a borderless windowed option. Looks like that wasn't necessary.

i'll just throw in my usual pet peeve frustration:

putting "@devs" in your topic title does not attract devs to it, nor does it discourage discussion (some people use this to say "this topic isn't meant for you").

there are 387264 people here vying for the dev's attention- the best way to get it is to post normally without any expectation of a response.

Thank you Mr. self-appointed moderator, but your pet peeve is rather inconsequential.

Mine was a question for the devs without any intention to generate discussion (as there really isn't much to discuss). I simply labeled it for clarity. You, the devs or everyone else are very free to ignore the label.

Such methodology is as I said pointless. It doesn't help the devs find your topic or make anything more clear. I'm not a moderator nor acting like one- this isn't a rule that's being broken, it's something i personally am annoyed by because it has no purpose. Besides, other people had the answer for you- so obviously, there was something to discuss.

I don't see any "discussion", and you saying something is pointless doesn't make it so.

You obviously get annoyed very easily, which makes your annoyance inconsequential.
