Thank you for the reply Trekkie22,

What you are describing doesn't seem too out of the ordinary. The freezes probably isn't the game freezing but the loading screen animation while the next area is loading. Some areas can take up to 30 to 40 seconds to load so I'm not sure if there is a glitch or technical issue with your copy of the game. As such, I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done outside of upgrading your hardware. I apologize for the inconvenience, but we will note this down as we are continuing to improve the game in any way we can.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
