If they did this, the congestion would be insane. It would take an hour to get in during prime time on some servers.

[Voidstorm]

That's an AsuraProblem that almost no other server suffers from at all.

They can server transfer to get around those pesky wait times.

I didnt know where to put this because the feedback section in the forum is just for the webpage but. i have ffxi set up in vr, on a 4,000 inch screen. everything works no problems no lag, better graphics etc. but i cannot use my keyboard or mouse in virtual, and i know they are developing that more now, but in the meantime it would be nice if the keyboard you can bring up with the buttons on your gamepad was full keyboard, with numpad for movement and with the virtual keyboard they have in oculus the enter key and function keys do not work, so alot of functionality is missing. I just thought i would address this because in the future probably everyone will be playing this in VR. Thanks for an awesome 20 years, and a great 14 years for me. Wonderful Job guys, and girls. Also, Happy New Year, and Best Wishes on all your future Development.

Other feedback not relating to the website or the Digest simply goes in whatever category is relevant. Jobs, General Discussion, etc.



i would address this because in the future probably everyone will be playing this in VRVR is and will continue be a niche product and experience both now and for the forseeable future. I would certainly never play a game from the early age of 3D in VR (much less anything else). Myself and many other people may also have vision problems that hinder the 3D experience, and VR also can give a lot of people headaches or motion sickness. For these reasons you shouldn't ever expect VR to become the standard gaming experience.

Since the game does not officially support VR and likely never will, I don't see them making changes to facilitate VR play.

lol theyve been saying VR is the future since the 90's... not ognna happen anytime soon. The tech has advanced quite a bit but its still very limited and has the mentioned problems with headaches etc.

Yeah, if ever fully does then it still has a lot of obstacles to overcome, {just adding to it as well ;)}

Thats awful that people get sick from it. I realize its not for everyone. but that isnt what i posted it up for. its not about whether or not u and your friends can use VR its about whether SE is capable of making changes that could increase the keyboard, maybe even add a mouse function, or work with oculus on getting the enter key and function keys to work on theirs. I am just trying to find new ways to enjoy the game i love most. I mean no disrespect, and I am not angry, about the issue. I would just like to make it so i can play it on VR while i still have the last of my vision, and while im still young.

I can get the ps5 controller to work on every single game, even emulation running through steam. This is the only game that it will not work on, and the configuration tool will not even accept its configuration. The computer however picks it up on bluetooth, and wireless instantly. Is there anything you can do about this?

sorry, that came off as rude. im just used to being put down for voicing my opinion on a ff site. it would be awful if i was unable to play like that. they just released the first virtual keyboard for oculus quest 2. so that being said, and it has a mouse trackpad on it, so basically keyboard and mouse. just need a wireless virtual controller.

It wasn't my intention to put anything down. I respect that some people enjoy VR experiences. I was just pointing out that due to their nature, people with various vision problems (among other things) can't, and this is why a lot of game companies aren't investing heavily in it, because of the smaller user base (due to additional equipment cost) and potential for harm to certain user groups. Basically, they would have to invest considerably into a feature that a relatively small subset of their community can use. It's kind of a chicken and egg scenario that unfortunately limits VR adoption and isn't easy to solve.
