  1. i dont think that 99% of people playing will be upset by this lol

    But if for some reason you ARE angry… then please consider your life choices. if you can't even upgrade to the latest standards of low-end PC, then you probably don't even have enough money and time to waste on a subscription-based MMO.

  2. Man, I can't wait to be sitting outside the Drowning Wench, people-watching the main Aetheryte down below… Well, maybe in 10 or 20 years, when Quality-of-Life stops being a secondary concern among the leadership.

  3. It should be kept in mind 64bit direct X 11 pcs have been available for well over a decade. So I'm not even sure how to can even run ffxiv on a 32bit dx9 computer that doesn't also support 64bit and dx11

  4. Honestly anyone who is still using these really should've seen the writing on the wall, once support ended it was only a matter of time until it was disabled. Many other older MMOs that continue to see updates and expansions have already done this step so it really should not be a surprise.

  5. It should be noted that a more than ten year old PC should still support both Windows x64 and DirectX 11.

    To support x64 Windows:
    – Every Intel CPU including the Pentium 4 (2008) and onwards, supports x64 Windows.

    – Every AMD CPU including the Athlon 64 (2003) and onwards, supports x64 Windows.

    To support DX11:
    – Every NVIDIA GTX 400 GPU (2010-2011) except for 405, the lowest of the bunch, supports DX11.
    – Every AMD Radeon HD 5000 GPU (2009-2011), supports DX11.

    If you're somehow still running older hardware than this, please let me know how you're even running FF14, I'd love to know.

    Regardless, if you are in this position you should be able to find hardware that supports these specs for dirt cheap, maybe even for free.
    Sadly I know that it's very region dependent, but since they are so old I hold out hope even for those in the regions who have it worst.
