    PC Screenshots

    Am I missing something? I press PrtScn but it does not appear to actually create a file. Instead it copies the screen to the clipboard and I have to mess around in another app to actually paste and then save the image.

    Surely there has to be a faster way to just print screen to a file?

    PrtScr should take a screenshot (outside of cutscenes) and automatically save it to Documents >>> My Games >>> FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn >>> Screenshots. Check that folder and see if you have any screenshots there. A message of taking a screenshot also appears in your chat log every time you take a screenshot.

    Superb! Thanks so much!

    Now if only there was some sort of manual that had said that so I did not have to ask in the first place

    I installed Final Fantasy to my D: Drive instead of C: Drive. It did not create a folder in My Documents. Games still usually do, but Final Fantasy did not. Any idea where it could be?

    C:\Users\***\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn
    is the default folder on Windows 7 (*** is your windoes user ID)

    If it's not there just search your C: and D: drives for "fantasy"

    If all else fails, print screen should save it to the clip board if FFXIV isn't intercepting the key press.

    And if you are playing with controller, screenshot is L1+Start (L1+Select first to disable UI, if you want).
