Higher Resolution or Higher Refresh Rate For ARR?

You mean PLS right? IPS has been around a while. A good IPS panel of that size would likely cost more.

Well...I can't seem to find a date on when IPS was "new" but just because PLS is newer does not make IPS old >_> lol.
As I said I haven't read much about IPS(Now PLS as well) so...no..I meant IPS. >_>

Edit:
Found a good wiki link with dates for types of IPS. So while IPS itself is old new types appear to have been created since. The Super PLS is interesting as well...Though I was not able to find much on it through Wiki.

I suppose it would most likely be AH-IPS I might have understood as "new".

Well the Asus named by the person you quoted is PLS. That was really the only reason I mentioned it. PLS is newer, seems to be a bit cheaper than IPS and almost as good in some ways.

Indeed that monitor is PLS..Did not notice! It seems it falls under a IPS technology though from what I get from the ASUS website:

Yeah, it's similar, but not quite the same thing. In theory it's supposed to exceed IPS in a few places, but the jury is still out on that one.

I wish i had the money to make a super rig XD

You don't have to upgrade at all. One of the main reasons YP decided to build a new engine was to let players that cannot afford to have super systems to be able to play the game flawlessly. From what I have seen so far this is true. The game runs smooth on my crappy computer as well as it does on my super rig. Second, the engine is scalable which not only achieves the preceding but also creates a lot of longevity for the game on whatever system you wanna play on.

Still i wouldn't mind a super rig >_> my PC is not even overclocked

Save for it. By June or July you might just have enough to get yourself one. You are probably Legacy so just play with what you have till then during Beta.

I'm thinking of getting a 2560x1440 in the near future and I would love to make sure that ff14 will support that res. Any news or thoughts about this?

I have a Samsung 120hz 1080p monitor S27A950D. It's a beautifully monitor, however it's doesn't completely remove the need for V-Sync. If the game's FPS is constantly under 120 FPS then it's beautiful. However if the game goes above 120 FPS I sometimes notice tearing like you see with 60hz monitors with V-Sync off. I absolutely hate tearing so when it happens, I turn on V-Sync capping FPS at 60.

The draw back with 2560x1440 is you need a powerful enough video card to give you a smooth frame rate depending on the game. I would think this resolution would be bad for FFXIV 1.0, however with 2.0 new engine it may be a good choice.

I'm eagerly waiting for Ultra HD monitors and next generation video cards. However Ultra HQ is probably years away from a price I'm willing to pay.

What do you mean by tearing? I've used a 60hz monitor and never really noticed that? Although I'm using hdmi...

I have two friends that played 1.0 in 2560x1440.. Visuals were definitely better than 1920. Only bad part about it is the monitors usually run $700+. I'm thinking about getting that Samsung Series 9 2560x1440 monitor... It's $1,000.
