Alt + Tab yes please :D

and XIV is practically a console port too with the way its designed. But even a port can be fixed up :S they just dont know how to nore care?

If we learned anything from FFXI for PC, they never wanted to support alt+tab. Windowed mode is 'slightly' imperfect due to the windows bars on the screen, but honestly.. whoopdee-doo..

The only reason that i could see people having performance issues with running windowed mode is playing on a lower end system.

It would be an easier investment to have a small tablet or a smartphone hooked up to a Wifi connection and use it for keeping recipe's up and whatnot if you really find it that troubling.

To go further. If you can afford dual GTX / Radeon cards and 3d vision kits to play in 3d, it would be silly to now retort you cannot afford a $150-200 tablet

Windowed mode + Gamers Window Relocator = be happy

Google for Gamers Window Relocator and your problems with borders are gone

Since SE is lazy and will never implement Alt+Tab, the solution to the problem is to run FFXIV through Steam. When you switch to the steam overlay, there is a web-browser available.

I do have 3D vision running, I also have a laptop, but running my laptop just for recipes seems so unnecessary.

I know ffxi didn't support this and I know there are many things I can do to avoid this but I also would like to see Alt+Tab implemented. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal to put in place to me.

It's a core mechanic, it would require them to redo certain functions so the game can reallocate properly.

And running the game in 3d vision 'is' necessary? your argument is looking rather invalid

I shouldn't have to buy more hardware (had i not already owned a laptop) not to mention waste more electricity because of an obvious oversight by the devs. It's you with the flawed logic my friend.

Yes I understand this. Still not a big deal to implement. They could even remove the border, title bar, etc... from the windowed setting. I know this isn't true full screen but it would look much better still.
