    I'm wondering, will there be a 64bit version of FFXIV when 2.0 comes around?

    Probably not. 2.0 will not even be directX 11 compatible, though they said that was the next step after 2.0 launches.

    While it would be nice if they were to release a 64-bit client, it is highly unlikely they ever will. Creating a 64-bit client version isn't a simple as just changing a setting on the compiler. Adding another client version also adds another version they have to run through QA to ensure there are no bugs/exploits/glitches that might pop up in the code change and increased the time spent fixing those problems before releasing patch updates. Implementing a 64-bit client would end up causing more time spent coding updates/fixes and longer times between updates and/or less content per update being released.

    It would be nice to have, but not worth the added hassle to implement when it's unnecessary.

    no game is 64-bit if it was you would need a pc 10 times as strong to get crapp preformance.
