maybe?? That processor is VERY low, even on the lowest settings I would have to say you would run into overheating problems

I bought this laptop to play XIV back in 2010, it worked pretty well for the most part, did'nt have any trouble running the game on low/med settings and it still looked good...but recently it started rebooting whenever I play any games...so seriously thinking of getting a new one...just not sure who/which/when.

HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
AMD Phenom II N620 Dual-Core Processor (2 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
6GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650

Mine's a pre-build Dell, 3+ years old, played XI and 1.0 on it just fine

Windows 7 64bit
Intel(R) i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz (x8)
8GB Ram
Nvidia GEForce 240


I'm going to put in my son's old GTX560. This will also require a bigger PS. That's it. Certainly adequate!


I have RR Lightning, so, it's the best I can do since I don't live in Kansas!

Whether or not I upgrade anything depends how well my system runs ARR. Given that Yoshi had said any system that can run 1.0 can run ARR and at higher settings with less resources I think I'm good.

But I am currently running:-

AMD Phenom II X6 Black Edition 1090T 3.2GHz Socket AM3 6MB Cache
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz HyperX Genesis
Palit GTX 460 SONIC 2GB GDDR5
ViewSonic VX2439WM LCD TFT 24" HDMI Monitor
Asus Crosshair IV mobo
Windows 7 Ultimate 64
2x Seagate 1tb Sata3 HDD (the component that gimps my score lol)

It's getting dated but I am one of the few people I know that could run 1.0 at 50+fps with the AO on and all settings at max and less loading times than most people I knew. And it also gets a higher windows score than alot of friends newer systems. So I'm fairly confident that it will run ARR at high settings.

Upgrade wise maybe invest in a bigger monitor I dunno yet.
I don't want to do to much as I'm considering building a whole new pc with an Intel board and cpu. haven't decided on specifics yet.

No need to upgrade mine.. I ran 1.0 on high, 60 frames with no problems at all while streaming it and 2.0's engine is supposed to be less demanding while looking great.

Might throw a 680 in my PC eventually, but that's for other reasons.

1-2k is cheap?? O.o man the stuff i could build with 2k!!

well if you factor in that final fantasy will be my hobby for an extended period of time its not that much.

say i play the game for 1 year w/ sub fees $120 and we'll go with a $1,500 build. its about $135 a month, $31.15 a week, $4.44 a day. 5 bux a day is pretty cheap, especially considering that im at home glued to my screen vs out on the town spending far more than that. Not to mention since i swore off women i have soo much extra cash now

Got my PC in 2011. In August 2012 I got me a new PSU and Case and last month I bought an SSD for the OS and smaller programs. Planning on installing ARR on it.
1.0 was running ok for me and I think ARR will do just fine.
My specs:

AMD Phenom II X4 955
Asus M4A77T
PowerColor Radeon HD 6850
8GB Kingston RAM (started with 4GB)
be quiet! PURE POWER CM BQT L8-CM-630W (started with 450W *cough*)
120GB Samsung 840 Basic and 500GB WD Blue
Sharkoon T28 blue Case

Did I forget something? xD
Thinking of buying a new Graphics Card when I got some spare money. What do you think about a 7850? ATM they are around 20€ more than I paid for the 6850 back in 2011 (paid ~ 156€).
