The part in bold was the point I was arguing against and I think it was fairly obvious as well. The part in bold is wrong.

As for a source, it was in the Live Letter immediately following TGS last year. Yoshi responded to a question about it and said there are no plans for a VR version of the game. I'm not about to go and spend an hour looking for it though.

As I said before, a VR version of the game as a direct port would not be at all feasible due to way VR effectively requires double the processing power. If a VR version of FFXIV were to happen they would have to rebuild a lot of stuff from the ground up to ensure it could run at 60FPS per eye (in other words the hardware would have to be capable of running the game at near 120FPS normally). There is absolutely zero chance of that ever happening just to add a gimmicky build of the game that only a fraction of the playerbase would have access to. It would be a monumental waste of money to do.

VR against Titan in first player mode.

Dear god...

that loincloth

Triple monitor setup is the next best thing, for the PC version anyway.

It can be handy for situational awareness in raids, adding immersion, and spreading out UI elements. Very nice if you're not too concerned with bezels.

Not to mention, that VR still has so many problems. The headset won't fit everyone. (I can't wear one period). People still get motion sick even at 60fps, not all gamers want their peripheral vision completely blocked while playing a game, some reports of migraines from the headsets, and on and on.

I will honestly be surprised if vr catches on as anything more than a niche after a few years. I don't think our bodies deal with the sensory issues well which will keep it from ever being completely mainstream.

The problems will be ironed out with time. The root cause of them is that we're still learning how to best handle certain things in VR and it's all a massive learning process both in terms of the hardware and the software. VR can and likely will go mainstream eventually but it's probably going to be a few years before we have a firm understanding of how things need to be handled to trick the brain without inducing sickness for some people. For most people the current hardware is more than enjoyable though. I personally have absolutely no problem at all with the Vive and a few of the games have been completely mind blowing.

The real thing holding it back from going mainstream at this point is just the price. The Oculus and Vive are the only headsets that are worth getting as they are technically superior in every single way by a factor of hundreds, but they cost as much a brand new gaming PC. The PSVR has a solid shot at changing that but THAT really depends on Sony having a solid lineup of launch titles that aren't just gimmicky arcade games.

You are correct though that as it stands right now there's no way SE would risk developing for it.

FFXIV is VR capable, it is a requirement of the playstation that all games are VR capable. This is not the same as the dev team supporting VR.

"sigh" what I put in bold was my point. whether it is or isn't happening doesn't matter to me. I have no plans to waste money on any kinda of vr. sorry if I may be wrong, since ffxiv was posted everywhere to be a part of PSVR. as for live letters, I haven't watched one since 2.x. I don't follow what goes on in this game like I use too. so saying he said it in a live letter w/o showing it is kinda hear say for me.

If you don't watch or even read the live letters how in the hell can you claim they said the game would have VR.

And why are you getting on Saito's back for not providing sources when you can't even provide any for yourself? Geez man..

lolwhat ? u know I'm saito right? and the same could be said for saying that he said it on live letter but not wanting to show it. like i said, whether it is or isn't going to vr wasnt my point. its was that you couldn't do any real content other than quests and walking around in 1st person. I know, cuz ive tried a long time ago.
