BABY CHOCOBO, d'awww..

This is most likely controller UI on a PC, not a PS3, as Klefth so intelligently pointed out that the display resolution looks far too high to be PS3.

PS3 version?

Awesome! w00t!

Could just be controller UI.

that is the controller UI yeah, whether it's ps3 version or not, can't say.

+1 for Controller UI.

Can't wait to see it.

The blog said he holding something it's a PS3 controller he playing the PS3 version of FFXIV duh i wish they could make it less obvious but i guess that the point lol.

Edit: or could just be a PC using the Controller layout :)

YAY! ^^ can't wait to play!! :3

Nah, that must be the controller UI on a PC. The display resolution in that screenshot is way too high for a PS3. It looks like 1920x1080.

Looks like that's a screen shot of chocobo raising quest. NPC has quest and wearing some unique chocobo cloths and helmet.

I guess Yoshida might be holding a picture of different size Chocobos as it grows.

that baby chocobo is the cutest thing ever! hehe can't wait to raise my chocobo :D

From that Blurry picture it seems like we can name our Chocobos ( that we can now visually see?) :D

im curious about what kinda crappy camera they used to take these pictures, needs that chocobo in better and cuter detail.

AHAHAHAH IT'S WEARING IT'S SHELL LIKE A LITTLE DIAPER

I'm gonna name mine Babou!

The baby chocobo is almost as tall as the Lallafell. lol. Also that NPC is wearing chocobo clothes.

Must be Chocolina's alternate ego.

I want to see that video!

Yoshi-P is holding a PS3 controller.

edit: Nevermind its just a regular controller.

I assumed it was one of the pets rather than true chocobo offspring. I could be wrong though.

Foxclon workin that twerk.

Actually I think you're right - didn't they say something about all of the Year of the Snake animals following The P being mini-pets?

It's not La Noscea... I can't say more. :P
I guess new PS4 controller! :Q_

Oh, sure, I'm the only one around here who gets fact-checked and has to use facts! Jk, jk. I'll see if I can find out where I saw that thing... if, you know, it was a thing and not nothing.

Cool, cause I remember things following him in the picture but i didn't recall them ever saying pets were a thing in ARR, if so then that's very interesting.

Okay, found the quote... just need to remember where I saw it...

"There are about 40 mini pet things (like the Baby-Behemoth) ready. We'll know exactly what role they serve in phase 1 of the beta. The 3 things in the Year of the Snake illustration are included in that 40."

It looks like a cross between gamepad and keyboard/mouse. Look at the UI at the bottom.

Aww why the strikeout!

I know, I know. My bad english! :(
I meant "I must not say more (NDA?)", hope is right.

Yoshi and the devs have shown it quite a few times already, so it should be safe.

excited to play. I need a good place to get a PS3 style controller for my PC that is cheap...any suggestions?!

Good point! I also think I see the standard bag UI (a grid of colored dots for each bag as well as one for equipped items) on the far bottom right. That UI is specific to the PC version.

http://rss.finalfantasyxiv.com/jp/bl...20130202_2.jpg



Due to its lower resolution, the PS3 version UI (seen below) replaces the dot grid with a simple series of numbers listing how many items are in each bag. It also drops the micro menu buttons to the left of the bag display in the PC version.

I take this as a sign that the PC version might let you use your mouse to click on elements such as the micro menu even when set to the controller interface. I'm sure there will be a way to access that with the controller as well, though.

There was a way to with 1.0, so I don't think they'd get rid of that in ARR.

I played all of XIV and for several years on XI using a normal PS2 controller and a simple USB adapter. NO need to worry about drivers or dead controllers mid fight and i never had any problems with the shoulder buttons like i know many xbox gamepad users did.

PS2 USB adapters cost under £5 and are readily available. I assume they would be similarly cheap and easy to purchase wherever you are from.

Will the chocobo mask be available in ARR?

I just hope we can choose which UI we want when connecting a gamepad. Personally I liked the 1.0 way over this button combo stuff

If you look closely you can see the mouse cursor ;) so it's not the PS3 version. Sounds like they have a video coming up. :D Can't wait!
