Alt + Tab yes please :D

[SirEdeonX]

Windowed mode + Gamers Window Relocator = be happy

Google for Gamers Window Relocator and your problems with borders are gone

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

[Laperouge]

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...

[Sirrush]

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.

I shouldn't have to buy more hardware (had i not already owned a laptop) not to mention waste more electricity because of an obvious oversight by the devs. It's you with the flawed logic my friend.

Sorry. I don't wanna bash back and forth. But you're running dual GPU's.. and your complaining about running too much electricity. point, me

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.

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.

CrossfireX will not work in windowed mode :< and I like to use both graphics cards

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.

[Smashington]

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.
