Seems like most of the people I ask are on the Playstation!

I have 3 monitors, so a m/kb is also preferable in that respect. I often like to browse forums/imgur unless I'm in a dungeon, and that just isn't possible using a controller.

Its more than possible set the game to work with the controller when the window isnt active then you set the shoulder buttons to toggle or mixed rather than hold easy to set important stuff on 1 button for blm then buffs on the other play with minimal effort while browsing dont even need the FFXIV window active, just set the controller on the desk and push your buttons with 1 hand and use the KB/M with the other hand browsing say the forum.

Define most then hm? How much peeps playing on ps3/4 u asked from a total of how many peeps u asked for playing on ps3/4/pc?

I'm actually going to try that, I didn't think of that at all. I doubt I'll actually play a DoW/M class like that, but gathering and crafting in that manner would be amazing.

Thanks for the suggestion ^^

At lease 60~70% of the people I asked said they were on playstation, I cant wait to see what the census says.

i would bet a large portion is console.
and an even larger portion are ppl like me; 1st time MMOs and here because of the name 'Final Fantasy'

I'm surprised, honestly. I understand the appeal of not needing a glorious gaming PC and just playing an MMO on your already bought RPG machine, but I can't stand the idea of playing an MMO without my mouse and keyboard... and computer desk. I'm not saying it's better, just that I prefer it. Ultimately, there's great draws to both PC and console. For MMO's and shooters, I stick with PC. For just about everything else, I stick with console (unless it's super cheap on steam).

PC limitations.


Plus most pc players afk or tab out while PS3/4 players are always on.

I have the game on PC and it runs well but I play on PS4. It's just more comfortable, the PS4 controller is great, also the game actually looks better on PS4 than PC. I can quickly make videos and share screenshots, talk with my friends. I'm generally a console gamer anyway, plus it just feels right playing FF on a console.

You can only see it if you also play on a Playstation.

I play on PS4 and use a controller for character control, a keyboard for chat and UI hotkeys, and a mouse for moving around UI windows and skills.
