Enjin In-Game client for FFXIV

[Gilraen]

The point is this'd be akin to XI's Windower. Functionality that the game wasn't designed for and was only available on the PC. Sure, you can play XI in Windowed mode now but it's still nothing like Windower, which can still get you banned if you use it. Incorporating a PC-only element into a PC and Console game gives an unfair advantage to the PC user. "Oh, but who'd use the PS3 version, it's only going to suck and drag the game down." Well, I'm playing on an ASUS G53SX gaming laptop and it can't handle XIV at max nor near max settings. That purchase represented more than a fair bit of my discretionary funds... not everyone has the cash to do that making the PS3 version much more accessible. You'd have them do without just so you can surf the web, chat and who knows what else while in fullscreen?

PC players are always going to have access to more then PS3 users and full screen vs windowed is not an issue it is now just a preference. SE gave up the excuse of not wanting people to have easy access to 3rd party tools when they allowed windowed mode. I'm also under the impression that SE not allowing alt+tab in full screen was an oversight and they used the excuse of not allowing easy access to 3rd party programs to cover their ass for poor coding. SE also can no longer use said excuse when they are planing to allow add-ons in the near future.

Also I have never played in full screen and I have no wish to, I just think this is a cool feature and would be nice to have, I could give two shits and a fuck about the PS3 crowd they give up the right to additional features by playing on PS3 exclusively and they know this.

Besides this client isn't giving PC users access to anything we dont already have access to, its just allowing more convenient access to it. And dont give me that shit about your laptop not being able to handle it, I run a a 2.6 core 2 duo quad, 9800 GTX+, 8 gig DDR2 machine and it handles just fine.
