Will this be capable of running FFXIV:ARR? And if so, will it play it comfortably for her? What kind of FPS can I expect?

Any answers would be great appreciated. She's just shopping on a budget and we already have a gaming rig at home. This is for her to play on her breaks at school. Thanks.
No, the HD 4000 is only half as capable as the minimum requirements of a Radeon HD 4770, it absolutely will not get even 30fps.

Onboard video is never sufficient for MMORPG's, particularly when it's in a laptop. Usually HD3000/HD4000/HD4600 video is sufficient for web-browser games and anything that was produced 8 years ago.

Look for laptops with a AMD 7730M or nVidia Geforce 650M if you want to play games, as these meet the minimum requirements. You may want to look at laptops with the AMD A8 or A10 parts (for even if these have onboard video, it will be sufficient if it's the "dual video" chip model)
