Can I get a clock?

[Kiroh]

I can't believe there's any resistance to this kind of thing.

It's a damn clock, just agree and move on. For convenience's sake, it's a good idea.

End of.

I agree it should be added actually, I just don't think it's going to do someone who can't even be bothered to look 8 inches up at the wall much good.

My home office doesn't have a hanging clock anywhere in it. So, if I'm stuck in full-screen mode, I can't just easily look at my Windows task bar.

It's not fair to assume it's laziness more than circumstance.

It's that hard to put a little digital clock on your desk?

You are my hero. OP specifically makes it a point to say it's not that serious and should not be a priority, but it would be nice. That's absolutely all there should be to this!

I would hope sometime down the line they will have a bunch of optional wigets you can download or either just turn off or on to save the screen getting cluttered with UI stuff when things settle down sometime with content.

If not developed in the current team, they should leave it open to outsider modders and pick and chose which to have available to the community. Modders have done wonderful things to games.

I agree on the real world clock. We have an Eorzea clock, but Eorzea time doesn't seem as important as real world time. Until shops and wards start having open and close times or NeoHades Bahamut only wanders the desert between 1 and 2 on the 5th Umbral Moon, but until then, having an onscreen quick-glance clock in full screen would be of benefit.

Oh, so now I'm supposed to buy yet another piece of hardware to be able to play this game?

Or you can buy a Swatch. Time accuracy & style FTW!
Anyway, I guess that a watch, a clock or anything that displays the hour (even a phone can do it =D) should be needed in every room of the house (kitchen, bedrooms at least).

And anyway, I say Yes for a clock ingame just for comfort. It may be a good thing to have for those who don't have a clock, alarm or anything else of that nature and don't want to spend money on that (even if I'd think about it...).

If you don't want to buy a clock for your desk...
And you don't want run in windowed mode so you can use Windows' clock...

How about launching FFXIV via Steam? Its free, works with fullscreen mode and you can push SHIFT+TAB to see the time.

With everything that's changing in FFXIV, I wouldn't really want the developers wasting time to add something that's so easy to find another solution to and is, for most people, just going to take up screen real-state.

It does? I couldn't get it to work before unless I had it in windowed mode.

I use Steam too when I want to browse the interwebs while on Fullscreen. You can have Performance + Clock + Screenshots with F12 + Browsing the Web.

It's pretty convenient, if you ask me =)
