You can access it. It is under \Documents\My Games. Just copy the whole "Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn"-folder to your new computer into the same location. And everything will be restored. I have done it on my new computer.



Cheers

I plan to get a new computer soon because my current one will likely explode if I were to play dawntrail on it in 3 months- Even though this is not directed at me I appreciate the information!
I have made so so many settings and HUD modifications, it would take me a lot of time just to get back to how it was.

Dear stranger participating in the same lottery for a house: why, when there was exactly the same spot in another sector, with 0 participants (advantage offered by the end of the extension) did you see fit to put yourself on the same lottery as mine?

Just... Why did you do it? If there are only two of us taking part at the moment, wouldn't it have been more logical to bet on the other spot, so that we'd both come out winners?

I mean this genuinely: I love it when two people are chatting in the forums and they both have similar icon themes.
Like maybe a character wearing a chocobo costume head responds to a character wearing a rabbit costume head or two dark knight helmeted characters respond to each other

Don't know why but it makes me smile

aand just because I'm learning to play on PS5, I just found out that you can set a cinematic camera for afk timers and it will show these cool scenes of the npcs in the area!

Until it scrolls past all of the bots clipping under the map.

Kinda XIV related, but this didn't deserve its own thread...

I've now played XIV with 6 different controllers throughout a whole decade.

DualShock 3 - Started on PS3 so this is all I had. D-Pad was mushy and awful. Buttons were fine. Triggers were also really bad and if you rested the controller on your lap they could accidentally press.
DualShock 4 - Upgraded to PS4. Overall improvement, good controller overall.
XBONE - My second favorite. Used it ever since I upgraded to PC for like... four years?
Series Controller - The controllers were ok, but I had two of these die in less than a year, and I refuse to buy an XBOX controller ever again.
Switch Pro - Surprisingly comfortable, particularly because the triggers are digital button, so the press is immediate and doesn't waste your time with analogue triggers... but the D-Pad on this thing is horrendous for menuing.
DualSense - Best gaming controller I've ever used. The haptics are a bit overrated though. They're no different from Joycon HD Rumble (Though they do work on PC). Everything else on this thing is amazing imho.
