I'm thinking about getting an SSD and installing FFXIV on that. Would that be of advantage? Having one dedicated SSD for games and the old mechanical for Windows 7?

you can put everything on ssd and move data you wanna keep safe on another hdd. the os doesn't use the disk much and you'll gain boot speed.

Ideally both on SSD would be best, but not always an option! So if you have an SSD you're better off having your operating system on the SSD (as that read/writes data very frequently - especially the pagefile!) and games on the mechanical (you can check process monitor and with FFXIV aside from loading areas, it doesn't really do a lot of disk activity so although an SSD would decrease load time somewhat, it'd be kinda wasted if that was the only reason).
