The thing is, I distinctly remember during an early beta period, being able to play the game in full-screen mode just fine. Some people reported not being able to see their cursor in full-screen though, so in-between beta tests Square Enix claimed they had worked on it and "fixed" the issue. So then when the next beta came out, what happened? Suddenly I could no longer see my mouse cursor in full-screen mode.

I played for a few months after launch, then took a break. Just recently came back and was honestly expecting this to have been cleared up by now -- but to this day, FFXIV remains the only game that will not display my cursor in full-screen. And it's made all the more aggravating, just knowing that there once was a version of this game which functioned correctly for me.
