Problem
A while back I needed space so I deleted ~/.xlcore/ffxiv. When I tried to launch today it threw a drive not found error for /home/arc/.xlcore/ffxiv.

Expectation
Take a similar approach to the windows launcher where it prompts the user to either select a different directory or offer to create the directory and install the game there.
Workaround
Just make the folder myself.
