This is true. However, if FFXIV is going to support modding as SE has claimed it eventually will, the modding community will be limited in what they're able to do with the limited amount of address space unless SE makes a true 64 bit client.

And on general principle, it's 20-friggin'-13. If someone isn't using a 64-bit OS at this point, they shouldn't be computering.
