PSA: Remote/Cloud Play

Just wanted to bring this to people's attention as it is an option that many of you might not know about. I hope to find ways to improve the experience through discussions.

I believe you will need dgvoodoo to keep the game from crashing as in my experience anything having to do with a windows login or lock has forcefully ended ffxi.

Using this application intended to play arcade emulators remotely with friends you can play ffxi on a remote machine complete with controller pass through if you desire.

If you have an nvidia card and a lot more patience you can also try moonlight which is supposed to use the shield streamer service. Which may produce way better results.

Both of these apps can be used from another machine, hacked switch, android phone/device. I am unsure at this time of the availability on IOS
