Is FFXIV incredibly "clingy" for anyone else?

[RichardButte]

What I mean is that, whenever I try to alt-tab out to, say, open Discord, XIV seems to have this "separation anxiety" where even clicking something else on the desktop will just bring XIV back to the front (this is when in fullscreen mode, which is best for performance, I find).

I typically need to open the start menu and then maybe I'll be able to open Discord.

Anyone else have this issue or a similar one?

I mean, I know Yoshi-P wants us to feel LOVED, but...

No, alt-tab work like a charm for me but I use borderless window mode.

This happens to me too! it's frustrating lol.

[FaileExperiment]

I have the same problem.

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Nope, but I have 2 monitors, maybe that's why.

Not clingy at all. I hit the PS button on my control, and it goes to my dashboard right away.

[Theodric]

No, though some of the people who play it are certainly that way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you use full screen, it is. I have found it will "disable" gifs etc. in the process. If you play it windowed, like I do, then it stops doing that.

My problem with doing windowed is that it always reverts the game to 1080p instead of 4K with no way to change it. :/

I've never had any problems. I even use the "controller works while client is inactive" mode to watch dramas in half screen while I fish on the other half the screen so...
