Config Settings/In-game Config Update

[Rhianu]

As Soukyuu says, some options would probably require the game be restarted to work.

Yeah, so? Just have a pop-up window tell the player that some settings will not be applied until the game is restarted. Problem solved. There's no need to have a separate, external program. All that does is make things more complicated than they need to be.

And I've never seen any game except for FFXI and FFXIV that had an external config program, so your claim that such is the fashion these days is completely false.

As for the time it takes to start up the client, if it takes any longer than 10 or 15 seconds, then they're doing something wrong. But the new client for Version 2.0 is still under development, so that can be one of the goals for the dev team moving forward.

I do agree though that configuration options should be accessible from the title screen. That would definitely make things convenient when you want to edit settings quickly without having to take the time to log all the way in to a character.
