PS3 vs PC

PC.

Voice chat easily capable. Updates and add-ons quicker. Plus I can play the PC version with a controller and my PC is close to my bed, which pretty much destroys any need I would have for the PS3 version.

I'll use PS3 for Ni No Kuni and let my big boy PC handle FFXIV.

mainly PC, but i will buy the PS3 version to play if im ever like really lazy and dont wanna get outta bed and just play FFXIV in my bed.

that how i see the forums when beta start but way much bitching and 10-50 topic about the same shit. Thank you SE for giving us a beta forums :)

PC mostly because I can down-sample making the game look way better, it's much easier for me to configure everything to my liking and I can still play with a controller of my choice (prefer the 360 control to PS3).

I'll get a copy of the PS3 version for when I'm away traveling and for when I just want to play downstairs on the bigger screen.

How does the Demon play vids, only on 52'' screen with his legs up and a keyboard on his lap. This my friend is the way to play, wireless keybo and mouse combo, full HD screen and its real big. It is funny though because i still set really close to the TV, i guess my eyes arn't what they used to be.

Custom built my PC last spring just for FF, gave up on xbox and ps cause the community is too pre-teen halo junkies. You guys are awesome! make me laugh and get me thinking.

PC.

Even if I weren't thinking about buying a new system this year, I'd probably still be saying PC. Too many reasons, as listed previously: voice chat, graphics, etc. My "office" is actually extremely comfortable, I think I'd rather play in here than out in the living room.

So planning to upgrade my PC this year is really just the icing on the cake. Do you think a pair of GeForce GTX 690s would be overkill? (Disclaimer: Probably not actually doing that.)

Both but will be playing mainly the PC version.

The PS3 version will suffice for those moments when I want to lay down and play.

I dunno, man, I've seen some pretty big elk... :p

Both, I like to have two ways to play incase ones on the frits.

Mostly PC cause the game will look and run a lot better on PC, but I will pick up the ps3 version eventually just to compare and support the game.

All these post are just making me consider buying a gaming PC.. I won't have to rebuy the game lol..
I guess i have to wait and see how the PS3 beta looks

Yea PC. Why one Earth anyone would want to play a game, that is going to look as magnificent as this, on a console, is beyond me.
The whole "I like playing on a ps3" statement.. Why?
It is 2013 and I can plug my ps3 controller into my PC and wala, just like playing on a playstation.

Trueee.. Only reason id play on ps3 is to avoid buying a PC. Id prefer a pc over ps3 anyday, i guess im going shopping for a new pc :).. Atleast i wont have to buy the game again

If you need help picking parts let me know. I have a great place I can point you to, where the tech guys are very helpful.. Get you a whole system picked out in no time, for the best bang/buck ratio.

PC because I want the best experience. However i'll be using the controller UI. I prefer the console MMO style.

Probably gonna be playing on the PC more but I"m gonna get the PS3 version to pick up the Collector's Edition and such.

PC because for $341 bucks you can build a PC to max this game out, although I have a PS3 and my gf will be playing on that

Both of course.. Sometimes you just wanna sit back and relax on the couch, sometimes you wanna focus intently on the situation at hand.

@solace i will appreciate all the help i can get ! I would love the cheapest route.

@ricky seriously? Please intrigue me.. If i can get something that max out the game for that cheap count me in!

I'll play on both but all serious stuff will be on PC when I wanna play in bed i'll use the PS3:p

PC on the sofa with Wireless 360 gamepad / kb+m. Easier to look things up online, control media player, manage voip, do a little work etc etc etc

Mine cost me 450$ to build 2years ago :) build other one for my gf for little less then that.

I was looking for a computer just to play FFXIV and maybe random games if i feel like it but if your into playing other games that is not online you could still play them maybe on med or high setting it's up too what type of video you get for the right price.

PC.

The PS3 is for when I have company over and have nothing better to do than play Madden or whatever. It mostly just gathers dust though.

PC... I have a bad ass 3D setup!

i play Multi-platform on PC a fully upgradable highly adaptable platform. While i own all this generations consoles its purely for exclusive titles. I'm thinking of skipping the next generation entirely, i long for the days when a game console just played games. i don't need all that multimedia bullshit nor do i need ads pumped down my throat every time i boot up to play.

Both.
PC for when i'm doing hardcore stuff(raids, NMs, etc).
PS3 for when i feel like doing more casual stuff(crafting, gathering, raising chocobo, etc).

PC, because I do a lot of others stuff on there while playing.

none of it. i'm just here for the forums.

Likely PC since I've had to get used to it over the past 2 years, and it was a gaming rig bought specifically for XIV at the time.. I'll still pick up the ps3 version as I originally intended to play thru console (played XI about 5 yrs hardcorish on 360,'so I kinda liked the console vibe..). Occasionally felt a little handicap tho cuz my ls mates would have cool addons they could use, so I'm excited to stick with the PC and see how it goes.

Both, yet I have no money :I

Both.

The ps3 one will be the backup incase my pc bites the dust.

Will be playing on both, probably with the PS3 as my main source of FFXIV.

I share lodgings with my brother, and we are both big gaming fans but don't have the room for another PC, so the fact that it is coming out on the PS3 has always been a huge sale point to me. I can't wait to slob out in my bed and play a huge RPG while he carves out his niche in DOTA2.

@inura Yes ! Me to i cant wait to just play it on my ps3.

Can anyone post a list of all the parts i need to build a pc that would max out ffxiv..?
One condition i would prefer all the parts to be from microcenter.com seeing as how there is one near my city. I would also like the best rig from that website to be posted on here as well (the link)

Buying a new rig always excites me specially if its going to be for ARR

PC, since i'm a performance enthuastic. Not to mention i'm going to need access to VoIP, excel spreadsheets and a few possible convenience plugins. Already built my current setup pre-1.0. Later i added watercooling, so i could really crank up the overclocks.

Upcoming benchmark release and performance comparisons between other users will decide, if i'll upgrade my PSU, and push my comp's current limits for even greater overclocks.

Right now we don't know the max setting of ARR, it may be different than Alpha. Also beta is under NDA for first two phases.

What we can do is when benchmark is released we collect scores and what hardware people are using then compare it against what SE says is the score that allows highest settings. I did this before for FFXIV 1.0.

What was bad about old benchmark is that the graphics were on standard settings with no AA. Also threading wasn't done very well so it favored Intel CPUs that have high IPC. What ended up happening is you needed an overclocked Intel quad core CPU to reach above 8000 along with a lot of GPU power for high res. Hopefully this will be fixed with new benchmark.

Probably PC 90% of the time, PS3 if I don't feel like getting out of bed on the weekend ;p.
