Legacy

Hi everyone, i'm new to the forums.
As a Legacy member i remember reading somewhere that we get a free chocobo? :D


Other than that who here is getting FFXIV on PS3 or PC?

Yes. And some other stuff.

Legacy Chocobo for your enjoyment sir!

We'll get the PC client for free since we've already bought it, but we'd have to pay the PS3 version if we wanted that instead. I'll be sticking with the PC since I don't own a PS3, not that my wife would give me any TV time, even if I had LOL.

Chocobo
Sub Discount
8 Characters per world
Some form of marking showing you played 1.0
and I think that's it.

Hi there! Yes to free chocobo and I am also Legacy and I have PC and PS3.

Your name in the credits (if you want that), also a legacy benefit.

Since I already have it for PC I'll just stick to that. If anything, might have a ps3 version just to have it XD

So many replies, thanks guys ! i feel welcomed already. Anyone who will be playing on the PS3 post your PSN. I got rid of my gaming PC :/ but i am tempted to buy another now that the release approaches. But i am really looking forward to playing it on the PS3, will there be any disadvantage ?


Where chocobos only rentable in the Ffxiv? As to where in version 2.0 we won't have to rent seeing as Legacy members recieve a free chocobo anyways? Will you be able to own more than one?

Sorry for all the noobish questions. I never played FFXI, FFXIV was my first.

You get a chocobo from doing the Grand Company quests, you got to name him. So Legacy players will have 2 chocobos in 2.0

(PC players will get addons, and if they have a better then ps3 computer better graphics, SE said they may port addons to the ps3 if they are really need to haves (probably means the PC would get a native version of that addon as well))

The only disadvantage to PS3 version is the possible delay in getting player made add-ons. On PC you can download and add them as soon as they are ready, but I guess SE would have to port over the add-ons (of their choice) to the PSN first.

In FFXIV you could both rent chocobos and eventually through the Grand Company quests, you could obtain and name your own personal chocobo. The rentals were a little slower in speed though, and had a timer on them. You can summon your personal (grand company) chocobo whenever, and for however long you wanted.

You can own more than one, we had the GC Chocobo and a Goobbue mount that was only available to obtain for a limited time. So the Legacy Chocobo would give some of us 3 mounts.

Quite a few. Have to pay again (for ps3 software), no teamspeak, no add-ons (Only popularized ones), same graphics, YLOD, possible segregation from PC community since you won't have damage parsers or teamspeak annnd that's all (People will say Ps3 Limitations but that won't come for a long while anyways). But regardless the Ps3 is very accessible so quite a few Ps3 players would play alongside you anyways.

even on PC, not everyone has parser. and the rest of the add-ons would get your life easy, but i don't think they'll make much difference betwin somene who doesn't use them. as for TS, you can get it for mobil (android/ios) or a notebook/netbook

I might have to much faith on the ppl that would play, but i don't think that there would be a difference betwing PC and PS3 players

If you want to test out PS3 Beta you would have to wait for beta3 and you have to sign up. If you have the FF13 code you get in 100% Legacy only get you into the PC beta version starting this month.

I sure hope there isn't a segregation caused by parsers or teamspeak. I would be segregated too. I dislike both of them.

WE ARE"LEGACY" HURRAY FOR US THIS AND EVERYONE THANK' YO FOR PLAYING VERSION 1.0 CHEER TO US (^_^) am so excited!

Two mounts? Wouldn't it make more sense for it to be legacy chocobo armor? I couldn't imagine legacy chocobo wearing grand company armor and legacy armor?

The beta application details only said increased chances. Not 100%.

Oh and welcome to the forums ^^

Welcome to the forums.

I plan on getting the PS3 version also since I originally planned to play it on that before I got a PC good enough. I want my Asuran gloves! >:-O

Are you sure about that? Legacy players don't have to apply for beta, so I have to assume our chances are very good.

Chances are fine but they have to apply even if they want to play on their PS3.

The Legacy chocobo is different then our GC chocobo. So it makes the most sense to offer two different chocobo options. Maybe thats what you are trying to say, and that is what I said.


OP was asking "Where the chocobos only rentable in FFXIV"


And I replied there was one GC chocobo, and you will get a Legacy Chocobo. In the end Legacy players will have two different chocobos, each with their own special barding (I'm sure the GC chocobo will be obtainable in 2.0).

Thank you for answering my questions and the warm welcome @lady thank you
I'm glad the forum is mega active, this is great!

@pwnagraphic stay im touch so we can play

@nayto when you say same gfx do you mean same as ffxiv? For (ps3).
What are damage Parsers? And wouldn't i just use a bluetooth headset for teamspeak?
What would be considered a player made add on? That i could get on the pc version ex;

I really hope the game is equally as fun on PS3 but if i have to i'll buy a PC again.
When do you guys think game will possibly be released? Possibly june


GO TEAM LEGACY!!!!

PC have better graphics if your computer is stronger the a PS3 (most are.. :P).
Damage Parsers read the chat log and tell you how much damage everyone is doing, they really arent required and a lot of people overrate them - "I did the most damage" .. yeah you also died the most and almost wiped our party.. So... great job with that parser.


PS3 doesnt have any voice chat features so you'd have to use your laptop, phone, or something to talk to people. I assume bluetooth + teamspeak you are going to use your phone.


A player made addon is an addon to the UI that changes its look or behavior somehow. Like in WoW there are player made addons that tell you how far away a monster is so you can know exactly when you can cast. Right now there are no addons because SE hasnt released the API to write them.


If you plan on playing on the PS3 your PC code will not start it up on the PS3 so you will need to buy a PS3 copy. Release date is when its done lol

PS3s are much cheaper than a gaming PC though. Most gaming PCs are what, $1000-1500 depending on hardware and if you build it yourself. So for alot of people, PS3 is the cheaper option to play the same game. And if you want, you can always load up Teamspeak/Vent on your PC while you play on the PS3, unless your PC and PS3 are in different rooms. Even then, load up your iPad/laptop.

With a little bit of ingenuity, you can negate alot of the "negatives" with PS3 over PC.

Legacy player get instant access to pc beta but even if you legacy and entered the ps3 ff13 code, you are not guaranteed to get into ps3 beta... you are much more likely than someone without the ff13 code but not guaranteed...

2 legacy accounts hopefully double my chances :)

It will likely just give you two codes to use characters in both accounts. Recall you actually need to register each service account with the ps3 key to use the characters. So I think if you want you use characters on both accounts for the beta you would need two beta codes.

@shougun thanks !!
@lucke.. Is teamspeak an in game function in ffxiv? Is that what you guys are saying ps3 players wont have? Hmm had no idea it had a way to voicechat with players right inside the game..


If so i do have my Mac in my room (same room as pS3) & i also have an ipadmini i had no idea i could use ventrilio on my ipad mini thats awesome if im wrong please correct me.. Or is there another form of using the ffxiv in game voice chat (assuming there is one) from my ipad.

I plan on buying the ps3 copy as well.. Im guessingni enter that validcode in my Legacy account giving it access to both systems.

Teamspeak/Ventrilo are 3rd party programs. You run them on your PC which allows you to chat with your friends. Not sure how it works on Teamspeak, but for Vent, your LS rents a server which you guys sign on to when you load up Vent. Everyone on your Vent server can voice chat with each other. In 1.0, you would have Vent running in the background while you did whatever in game.

If you want to play on your PS3, you can install it on your laptop, hook up a mic/headset and you are good to go. I think as far as iPad apps and such, I heard something about Vent/Teamspeak on your phone, but I haven't followed up on that. Another thing to look into would be Skype. You can use that instead of Vent/Teamspeak as well. It just depends on what your LS wants to do.

Welcome on board ^^

Just as people were saying for ps3 users you can just use the pc/laptop or whatever ppl use to do voice chat and yes in my case of my ls we used skype for many reasons. Primary because voice output was the best of them all. On ventrillo was awful (robotic voices ugh). And second skype is free but on negative point is you need to do everytime a call to the friends instead ventrillo/teamspeak/mumble having channels rooms. Besides that skype is the best imo.

About PS3... don't buy it. PS4 is coming this year :D is going to be a waste of money... save it for PS4 and play with graphics on low/medium for a bit if your pc is weak. That was what I would do :p

It is possibel for PS3 versions of games to support mods (example, unreal tournament 3) made on the PC, but it's likely that the memory available for their use on the PS3 would be very limited if the support is available.

(For UT3, all you had to do was "cook" your mod for the PS3, put it on a USB thumb drive or a memory stick, and install it from within the game)

@lucke thank you, now i understand. I also found the ventrilo app in the app store.
@Shiko thanks! I already own a ps3 so i wouldn't have to purchase another..didn't know PS4 launched this year! So will the gfx be better when i play it on the PS4 instead of a ps3?


Im so excited !

SE said they may port over mods that are so great they and useful that you cant play as well without them. I'll be interested to know if they are porting over distance meters, atlas addons, and boss helpers. For a dev to automatically create a boss warning addon seems a bit unlikely and just weird lol. Maybe their addon system wont be able to read chat and therefore can't warn players.

worried about name in credits so my friends will point at me and go "DOOOOOORK"

I want my name im the credits :) shieeeet. Why not

You get the ability to post on the forums and say that your opinions are better because of your Legacy status.

jk, jk... But I do expect some people will do that, unfortunately...

You do get bragging rights, though in the same way a generic, headband-wearing Vietnam War veteran does.

(ex: http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=0rUMa8bFbqo )

...Me? I'll point to my name at the credits and tell my friends, "See this? This was the moment that my virginity was set in stone for all eternity."
