    personally I think the things listed in OP are a huge reason this game is dead/dying/ never reached big success, whatever you want to call it.

    i can run pretty much every PC game perfectly, and i actually BUILT a pc in anticipation for ffxiv. and despite basically building a pc for this game (of course ive found a lot of fun in OTHER games) i still couldnt run it as well as i wanted.

    honestly im always at around 40 fps or worse and puts a strain on my pc. the game is pretty but i just dont understand why its not optimized at all like some other games! its not fun to spend a lot of time on an mmo if its not running nicely., imo. and i cant ever get a clear answer from people exactly WHAT i need to get to run this game perfectly.

    so i just assume NOBODY runs this game well, which is sad.

    In no way I am defending or justifying SE, just a reality check: What you need is to wait. Yes the engine lacks even the most basic optimizations but at this point the priority is on the need to redesign systems and add content.

    We are all on the same boat, the game runs crappy for 99% of its players.

    You'd be surprised how many HD5870's (or better) or GTX 470's (or better) are out here that can handle the game just fine on 1920x1080 and tons of cards that can do it on lower resolutions...
    The game could be more optimized... but most people still run the game fine.. the main gripe being that it could run better...
    and you wouldn't need a GTX 460 or better to even play the game

    5870? Madness!!!

    I'm actually running the game on 1920x1080 with a HD 5770 and I really have no problems at all. Running with 4x MSAAA, but with AO off (I didn't really noticed a difference). Even so, for some reason I do believe the game can run better and as others have stated, the game does heat up my GPU faster than the other games I run (the most recent one would be The Witcher 2).

    Probably a lot of card can woek well with FFXIV....with a little setting work..but.

    For me real problem is with HI-END card and higher settings.

    I have now a Gtx 590 and without AA (at 1920x1080 i don't need AA) and without AO....if i max all other setting i encounter a lot of problem like slowing down....

    And it's not acceptable that a multi GPU card can't blow this game...

    A little more optimization can definitively be welcomed
