TLDR; Has anyone tried/succeeded playing FFXI on either local or remote networks using NVIDIA Gamestream, between a PC with a GeForce GTX 650 or higher and any NVIDIA Shield device?
I recently started playing this game again after leaving it back in 2009. My PC from 10+ years ago hasn't aged well, so I'm playing a used set of Xbox 360 discs, but I am interested in putting together a new PC for other uses. One thing that caught my attention was the Gamestream feature between some NVIDIA graphics cards and NVIDIA Shield devices. Basically, it's like the PS4's remote play feature. There are officially supported games, but the NVIDIA site says that you can add games to "GeForce Experience" manually. On the one hand, the system requirements for FFXI are laughable compared to current computers, but on the other hand, that isn't any guarantee that legacy support is going to run smoothly. I am wondering if anybody has tried playing this game on this hardware. I am particularly interested in the combination of a GTX 970 and either a Shield Tablet or the Shield Portable handheld, but any input could be helpful. This may all be moot if the mobile plans for ffxi pan out, but as I'm already considering building a new PC anyway, I thought I'd see if anyone had tried this out.
