    How come FFXIV isnt be sold on Steam? I just checked it out now. Found it a bit odd. FFXI being sold on Steam and FFXIV isnt.

    If I remember right it -is- available for digital download, but maybe they're waiting for 2.0 before having it sold through a 3rd party? Otherwise I have no clue. My brother was checking steam for a few months before he decided to just get a hard copy.

    No reason to promote the game to people right now so they waiting for 2.0 to release it to 3rd party company. For now they just want to fix the game and get feedback for the players who are playing now.

    It's available for digital download elsewhere and FFXI is still their flagship MMO for the time being, so it's not odd at all unless you somehow dislike FFXI lol.

    From what a friend told me, they actually include a code for Steam when you buy the digital edition. When they went to put it in however, Steam didn't recognize it. So I'd say they definitely have plans, just have to wait until 2.0.

    Ignoring the fact that steam is terrible, why would you want it through steam? The game's launcher handles the game better than steam would.

    FFXIV cannot be alt tab'd as I'm sure you know. Steam's overlay allows you to shift tab and use their shitty browser if you really want to play full screen but also look up info.

    Can't tell if serious.

    The game launches just as smooth through Steam. And the overlay is made of win.
