Clean install of OS(operating system)

I done this the other day, backup game folder, re install with ffxiv installer. copy back your backup folder an replace the files then run ffxiv and done, it does not save your character options though e.g. hud layout etc.

Also adding that the above works, have done this myself. If you want to also want to keep your layout options, just copy the My Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn folder (and subdirectories) from old to new
