What would guy guys thing of FFXI being made compatible with the oculus rift? What would the camera be like? and would you have to play FFXI in first person or third person whilst using the device...

For those of you who live in a shell, here is a little description on what the Oculus rift is:

The Oculus rift is a virtual reality headset which has been developed and is set for a consumer release in the near future. The headset is currently available for pre-order. And is compatible with very few games, but some of which involve doom 3 and Team Fortress 2.

Otherwise, i would LOVE too see the Oculus rift being available for use on FFXI, but what do you guys think?

Game's engine is way too old for Oculus Rift, and the visuals are too dated to benefit from it much.

Also the fact you tend to want 60fps per eye for the rift minimum, and here's XI still running a capped 30fps, which a lot of machines have trouble matching during large battles because of driver issues w/ the game, or because the game in general is extremely unoptimized.
