    FFXIV - PC System Requirements (Alpha Stage - 3/20/10)
    *note: The following information is subject to change, and what changes have been made official or have been updated as from here on out, will be respectfully reflected here.

    I'm sure many people who are looking to play this on their PC have all thought the same thing "Can my PC handle this game? will it be like Aion's system specifications?"

    Fortunately and sadly, the system requirements are a bit "beefier" then most even thought, and the game is still in alpha testing, so two things could happen in the near future, the following specifications could increases (yikes), or decrease (phew).

    Operating System
    Windows XP SP3
    Windows Vista: 32-bit /
    64-bit SP2
    Windows 7: 32-bit / 64-bit

    CPU
    Intel Core 2 Duo (2.4 GHz)
    AMD Athlon X2 (2.4 GHz)

    RAM
    Windows XP: 1.5GB
    Windows Vista / Windows 7: 2GB

    Hard Disk Space
    10 GB for installing
    10 GB on drive containing the My Documents folder for downloading

    GPU
    NVIDIA®️ GeForce 8800 or higher VRAM 512 MB
    Radeon HD 2900 or higher VRAM 512 MB
    (Will most likely get tuned down to 256)

    Audio
    DirectSound compatible (DirectX 9.0)

    Internet
    broadband connection

    Monitor Resolution
    1280 x 720 (32 bit color)

    DirectX
    DirectX 9.0c

    The requirements posted above r the "minimum requirements"... I just hope the "recommended" specs do not include 3 or 4 gb of ram cuz i only have 2 :(
    If u find the recommended specs for the game, pls post them here Neo.

    My gaming rig hardly gets to workout its 'muscles' with that spec. I was hoping this P2P title would yell 'directx 11', but an that's wishful thinking for an mmo.

    Yeah, my thoughts exactly, considering what kind of upgrade people are on average looking at here, especially those players coming directly from Final Fantasy XI; it realistically will get tuned down to 256 vram for recommended settings, 512 is still quite a lot for even today's MMO games, it's only there to handle the AA/AAA/AF Modifying and for some games, a full screen of players casting spells.

    Single-player PC titles are a completely different story, for most major PC titles 512 is pretty much the standard now, as 1gb is like the recommended for those heavy duty games out there.

    actually enix already mention the req for ffxiv will be high a few months before.

    so even if they tune it down the lowest req,it will most likely still be around 1gb-1.5gb ram

    and recommend req will probably be around 2gb or more,so what neo
    posted is prob near to what the final recommended spec of the pc
    requirement for ffxiv.

    no way they can set it too low,since their goal is to make long lasting
    mmo.so their target spec will be aim for the long run is my guess.

    just buy a good pc like evo did if your current pc cant handle it.1-2
    gb ram is already consider very little in the current latest pc setup.

    I meant to comment on this Evo but i forgot.

    I wouldn't jump the gun so soon on FF14 not utilizing a Dx11 model build, cause Dungeons & Dragons Online uses a partial build from Dx10 for stencil shadows and Dynamics lights and DDO is almost 4 years old now, so even if the Crystal Tools engine uses only part of Dx11, it'll still be pretty to look at.

    The only thing i doubt they'll want to use so soon is Dx11's new shader technology, and maybe some of the more advanced physics, like Real-time Light&Shadow Dynamics, which is what Blade and Soul's engine is using.
