PS4 ---> PS Vita

Actually Yoshida said it wasnt going to limit their ability to play with others.

He wants to find a control scheme that will allow them to play properly, otherwise a lot of groups in duty finder are going to be annoyed with a PS Vita user who cant play properly.

Based on the wording, he cant limit it from groups, since its just streamed from the PS4 version.
And that he's trying to find a way to use the touch screen/back panel, to make up for the lack of buttons.

GW: Another major feature for the PS4 version is the remote play using the PS Vita. What kind of things can you remote play for FFXIV ARR?

Yoshida: The monitor size is small and there isn’t enough resolution, so we’re currently looking into what we’re going to do about that. We may make it where you can maximize the chat window to chat, next problem is what are we going to do about typing. So like I mentioned earlier, I want to make it where you can lay down and just fish, or do crafting/gathering smoothly using remote play.

GW: Just wanted to confirm, but with the PS4 Remote Play, you’re going to be able to play ALL the contents of FFXIV ARR?

Yoshida: That is our current premise.

GW: I see. What will do about the resolution?

Yoshida: It will simply be displayed in PS Vita’s resolution (960x544 dot). In general, it’s just sending the rendering information to PS Vita. However, there is less amount of buttons available, and also we have to use the back sensor so we’re trying to figure out what to do about those.

GW: How will use be using the PS Vita’s back sensor?

Yoshida: We haven’t decided yet, make it where you can tap to turn on the cross hot bar, we’re currently working on the ideas for this one.

GW: So it’s going to be somewhat unique.

Yoshida: Not having enough buttons is the hard. But even with that we’re trying to find a way to make sure it can be played at ease.

GW: With Remote Play you’ll be able to do a lot. You can go to dungeons with PS Vita, even go inside The Binding Coil of Bahamut, even while laying on ground (laugh).

Yoshida: You can, but I’m sure you’re going to inconvenience the party members (bitter smile). There is no way for others to check if that person is playing through Remote Play, for us we cannot place any restrictions, but I think it’s going to be hard for battle contents.

GW: The PS Vita’s Remote Play can be used for free?

Yoshida: Of course. You’ll still need the PS Vita itself though.

GW: Can you play the Beta test starting from February 22nd on the PS Vita’s remote play?

Yoshida: That is what we are planning. We have full support from SCE so we’ll do our best!

GW: Have the internal PS Vita testing started?

Yoshida: Not yet. SCE is telling us “Don’t worry, it won’t affect the PS4’s performance, so just address the interface” so I’m sure it should be fine!

GW: I see. So it’s still at that level (laugh).

Yoshida: For our task, the main priority is to get the game running on the PS4 machine. Make expansions to address the Dual Shock 4, go through debugging process, what to do with the Remote Play is the next task. We’re doing meetings with SCE every week.

GW: When are you planning to show the PS4 version?

Yoshida: We are planning to release patch 2.1 within this year, so probably inside on the of Producer Letter Lives we’ll be like “We’re coming close to the PS4 versions release, but here’s the first look!”, we’ll probably do something like that.

GW: So are you going to show the PS Vita during the Producer Letter Live and demo the Remote Play?

Yoshida; That will probably the easiest way to explain it. But for the PS4 version I think people are going to think it’s just like the PC version and nothing is much different, so we’ll need to think about that one.

I love the Vita and want to see it successful. with more japanese games it's getting, I'm sure that Vita will rise.

Both the DS and 3DS stomped all over the PSP and cellphones as gaming systems probably did too. The Vita isn't even performing as well as the PSP as far as I'm aware.

Which is a shame really because the Vita has gotten a lot of negativity and bashing it has become the cool thing to do in most every video game forum.

Actually, I don't think the vita is a bad system. That said, Sony has done a pretty terrible job of marketing it. I'm not bashing- All I can give you is the honest truth from my observation.

I was at PAX East 2013. Everywhere you looked, people were on 3DSes, swapping street pass data or using them to connect to the internet, or play games with random strangers. The whole time I was there, i saw maybe 5 people carrying around Vitas. Again, Not hating on the vita, simply stating an observation. Good system or not, nobody had one.

I love the Vita and want to see it successful. with more japanese games it's getting, I'm sure that Vita will rise.

Remote play stream the game from the PS4 to the Vita. The PS4 run it, the Vita show it.
You can have access to your PS4 with your Vita from everywhere you have access to internet.
You can be visiting a friend, or playing in the bathroom as example.

um... I play with a gamepad most of the time... the PSvita doesn't have enough buttons to play FFXIV on it. It'll be interesting to see how they deal with that. Plus, the PS3 already has PSvita remote play on it. Will PS3 users be able to use this as well, or will it be locked to PS4 only?

Thing is it's a pretty solid system that while it could use more games, it's got a lot going for it. I know there is a redesign of it coming soon and unfortunately that redesign doesn't look to be as good as the original models. Once the PS4 releases and more is made of the Remote Play option, I think a lot more people are going to come to realized that the Vita is worth investing in.

It should change now though considering they have out a price drop on all Vita models as well as the memory card

Unfortunately, this is all my 3DS ever seems to get used for now. I street pass, I swap puzzle pieces and kills some monsters in Streetpass Quest.

My Vita on the other hand is getting more and more games all the time due to Playstation Plus. Though I am getting a bit of a backlog due to still playing Gravity Rush.

Thumbs up to PS plus as i have SF vs Tekken now, gotta love how the sub works on one PSN so that means my PS4 will get the goodies as well...still very keen to see how FFXIV will be like on next gen consoles as it does restrict a bit being on PS3
