Anyone else have this issue? After I enter my PW and such, and then click on "Play" after the Square Enix pops up on the screen, it goes black and nothing happens. I have to exit out and retry, sometimes I have to do this 10 times before the game menu will finally load.

Any ideas what it could be? Is it a problem on my end, or with their client?

Thanks! :D

one of the game issues , no clue yet what cause it or how to fix it just close the game and try again, at it worst you'll have this 6times in a row then after that you can play "at least that is my records"

Actually this has worked for me sometimes as well, which is why I'm like wtf is the problem. Sometimes clicking the screen after the logo pops up will make the FFXIV Menu load, sometimes it will goto a black screen. Basically just have to exit and keep trying until it gets fixed.
