Probably because remote play is a poorly implemented design, you can't watch DvDs or stream CDs, all you can do is use things stored on the HDD anything on a disk cannot be shared with remote play. The uses are very small and it's all together laggy, in order for it to be any use it needs a complete rework.

Cross play is far more useful and it will allow the PS3, and even PS4 to combat the WiiU gamepad, because it's just the same (except the Vita cost's a lot more.

man using the wii pad while using the... never mind that thought but that wii u pad is awesome, would love to play FF XIV on it lol.

I'd buy FFXIV for PC, PS3 and Vita.

I have a PS Vita and I think it's under rated imho.
I really enjoyed playing my vita and I believe FFXIV ARR is possible on the handheld. Maybe a year after FFXIV ARR has launched, Yoshida will decide if there's enough support of the Vita version.

They definitely can make use of the touch screen abilities on the vita as it would act just like a mouse to click and such and to zoom in and out etc. etc.

Seems like a petty good sized market to me. Also I would love to see a Vita ARR app, even if it was something simple. Maybe just add chat on the Vita and smart phones. :)

Also Kirito if you turn down the "Image Quality" it works way better. The Vita is defaulted to "+1" change it to normal or -1. It still looks great and runs a lot better.

dont mean a large number of people will play FFXIV and play the ps3 version. i could but rather play on the PC.

I have PS3 and Vita...
If ARR PS3 version can be remote controlled by Vita, I can do crafting and gathering while lulling my baby to sleep....
So I will be glad if it happens.

I don't see why a port wouldn't work. Doing raids obviously would be out of question, but allowing players to do simple game activities like crafting, gathering and quests... really wouldn't impede on anyone.

I have a Vita. I have a PS3. I can't imagine seeing FFXIV on the Vita do to it's short battery life. It's also heavy, and the touch screen has some flaws (it's nowhere near as a good as a iPhone or iPad touch screen). Remote Play works but it's limited to Wifi only. Right now only GoW collection and ICO/Shadow of the Colossus support the Vita's remote play (which has no latency). But it's far from perfect.

I just don't see this happening. It would be too much work to get working properly in any case. Yes you could do it. But it would be easier to create an iPad version, since the latest iPad is more powerful than the Vita. And I don't expect an iPad version either.

iPad has no buttons, it can indeed play mobile apps, but its not a dedicated gaming machine like PS Vita.
