Also, I don't play P2P games. I barely play MMORPGs anymore. I thought FFXIV would be nice for a week or two, turns out it's not.

They purposely made the game have super high requirements so the game could "make use" of cutting edge technology in 2013 and beyond....

Tanaka claims they are really looking to get on the cutting edge of technology with this installment. Like Final Fantasy XI, the game specs will be extremely high for the time, but in about 5 years, an average machine can run it on max settings with little to no issues.

RPGamer: There has been a lot of talk about the Alpha being very stressful on the computer. There's not a lot of configuration. Is there a minimum spec you are looking for so that people moving up from XI don't have to upgrade all their hardware?
Tanaka: With the Beta version we will be adding more options for the PC configuration. However, compared to FFXI, yes, it will require much a higher spec PC. That being said, even when we first released XI, at the launch time the spec was really high for that era. The same thing is going to happen for XIV. It is because if we introduce this game for the current average PC, in a few years time it's going to be old technology. So we purposely aim for a higher spec PC which will be average in two or three years' time so that people can enjoy it over the long term. Also, the main issue we're having is that the CPU is fine but many people don't have a high spec GPU. This is probably because gaming PCs are not that prominent worldwide at the moment. We will keep on trying to minimize the specs so that many people can enjoy it, but we'll see how it goes until the service actually starts.
