    The A Realm Reborn client is completely different from the current version, so it's fine to uninstall the game if you'd like!

    However, please keep in mind that it will be possible to import your current character data to the ARR character creation benchmark to play around with. So if you'd like to do that, be sure to back up your FFXIV folder located in your My Games > FINAL FANTASY XIV before uninstalling.

    Thanks for this Rukkiri, I had no idea that we can import our characters into the ARR benchmark, I will make a backup now.

    And it's nice we can uninstall the client when we are done

    I'll trade you a ball of yarn for the release date of both ARR benchmarks :3

    Be sure to pull the screenshots out of your my documents folder as when you uninstall the game it'll also delete the my documents/final fantasy XIV folder.

    Every time I've uninstalled, I've lost my screenshots - The whole my games/final fantasy xiv folder was removed, kaput.
    (Due to having a (tiny) 60gb HD and some major hardware issues over the last 2 years I've had to reinstall about 6 times, each time it's disappeared)
