Alt + Tab yes please :D

Using AutohHotkey and this script.
^+a::
WinSet, Style, -0xC00000,a ; remove the titlebar and border(s)
WinMove, a, , 0, 0, 1366, 768 ; move the window to 0,0 and resize it to 1366x768
return

Copy this in txt and after that - rename in (example) FFXIV.ahk
And beautiful!) playing pseudo Full Screen and can use Alt+Tab
P.S.
^+a= Shift+Ctrl+A

We shouldn't have to be computer hackers to be able to switch to a web browser in a game that all but requires use of 3rd party websites...

im surprised nobody has mentioned the fact that using third party programs is a bannable offense and i have herd of ppl in FFXI getting banned for using third party software simply for the sake of being able to alt+Tab, back when FFXI didnt have its own windower that is.

I don't know how I so easily walk in to some of these little spouts. they are silly, and there is no point to them.

I have told myself I'd do better about not getting into bickery, and I will stick to it. I'm sorry Molly_Millions. I'm going to walk away from this. I should not of pushed such a simple, and arbitrary thing to a stupid level.

We're all here for a common purpose (hopefully) discuss the game, the pros the cons, and hopefully also how to make it better.

Thank god for that, all i read is you being so sure of yourself and you have such an "I am right, everyone else i wrong" attitude. Now you have resolved to not post bickering comments, we should no longer be reading anything from you at all I hope.

While this usually a PC game basic, I think the decision to not add it is due to the ease of running third party programs while FFXIV is running.

Anyone who wants to run a third party program knows how to work around the lack of ALT+TAB, so they are mostly inconveniencing their more casual players.

Of course, everyone has their old computer sitting around anyway. ALT-TAB would be nice, but then that old PC would truely be worthless.

anyone wanting to run a bot (Which i would not recommend) would just put the game in windowed mode in config, then when playing normally would simply restart the game in fullscreen when he or she is in front of the PC. so the fact that SE wont add Alt + tab seems pretty retarded anyway. It only takes a few seconds to force close the game and restart it in fullscreen or windowed. I had a lot of problems when I started using CrossfieX with ffxiv so I was switching between windowed and full a lot before I figured out what the problem was with the flickering UI. But thats a whole other thread which I wont get into right now

[Cornyboob]

yes please

[Delsus]

I beleave this should be added as soon as possible, mainly because things like 3d, SLI and Crossfire require you to play in fullscreen. Also as some people have already said fullscreen lowers stress on PC components.

And the graphics will be alot better in fullscreen, not allowing alt-tab in fullscreen was one reason alot of people use 3rd party programs in ffxi (im sure you all know which one I'm talking about) and if we could alt-tab out of fullscreen it could make less people want to use 3rd party programs that could allow this.

[Keith_Dragoon]

Thing is SE has 2 choices here, add some kinda option or rework the game to allow alt + tab in fullscreen or ban 90% of the PC playerbase for using harmless 3rd party program that can convert windowed to fullscreen.

I have been barking up this tree since beta, good luck getting through to them.
