Why you should buy the PS3 version and not the PC version of this game

[Omagana]

The amount of ignorance in this thread is incredible, I feel depressed just reading some of these posts.

i never understand why people say, oh i play consoles because it can use bigger tvs... i dont understand why they dont know why that you can use a big tv on a pc..., should i also add you can run very very high resolutions on a pc and use very high resolutions screens if you wanted to, you can use 4 k screens to play games on a pc.

simply just idiots, if you think you MUST have a pc in a corner room tucked away using a small screen, thats your fault, you can easily sit a pc rig in your living room and use a big TV if you wanted to, whats stopping you? your wife/husband or parents?, well thats a problem on your end of the matter on a personal side, dont reflect it on a logical sense

Woooaah, easy there. You seem really offended.

Um... my PC is hooked up to my 65 inch TV. I run the game 1920 by 1080 at max settings. So, I disagree. I think I'll stick to my PC version.

Edit: I wanted to amend this to say, I have no problems playing with someone on the PS3 and truthfully, I don't think either has advantage over the other. It is all about personal playstyle. While I am a huge fan of the console FF games, I always play my MMOs on the PC. It is just how I have always done things.

Talk to us again when you've reached lv40+ and go on fates like Svara, Behemoth or Odin where ALL server's lv50 gather in one single zone.

don't go by what my avatar lvl says it is I have other things - this is just the cutest. SMH !

but mainly I don't understand how some of you people are being so spiteful becuz of another person's preference to how they choose to play the game they paid for xD

1- Not everyone is comfortable playing a MMORPG with a controller.
2- Controller -> Keyboard swap everytime you have to chat requires dropping everything you're doing.
3- No integrated voice chat! Number 2 is twice as true.
6- PC version supports modding and parsers.
7- You can't play FFXIV and watch TV at the same time unless you have 2 TVs... or play on the PC and use your TV for that. :P

1. Then Play with M/KB on PS3 as well + many people on PC are actually playing / prefer controller anyway.
2. See 1.
3. Neither on PC - 3rd party's overlays are not official integrations.
6. As well as hacking saddly.
7. You can as well play PS3 via monitor.

So - 5 out of 7 your "arguments" are fail ...

We have both versions in our home. PC looks better than PS3 even on the lowest settings.

Woooaah, easy there. You seem really offended.

lol i am offended, mostly due to how people think they pcs as an example must be used at a desk in a corner, its such a narrow minded thinking and i hate that, people need to be more opened and need more knowledge on this matter, otherwise a lot of posters here will just get embarrassed, also, you can hook up more then 1 device to a TV and on a PC, you can do the same and can select which screen you want as the main one, easy

If you prefer playing on a PS3, that is great for you!

But you are presenting your personal preferences like they are universal facts. Please don't do that. New people come in here all the time asking which version is better, and your post is greatly misleading. Examples in how your points are not helpful:
1. The low resolution on the PS3 on my TV screen actually gives me a headache, while everything on my PC screen is crystal clear and pleasant to me (and I have the majority of my UI elements set to smallest size). Clearly, the readability of text and other UI elements depends on the individual.
2. You can use a controller and the controller set up on the PC as well. Newcomers need to know that in order to make a properly informed decision.
3. People who already own a good gaming PC will miss out on 'visual beauty' (at the minimum because the PC allows more screen space to oogle that beauty), and, more importantly, on a number of graphic options with which they can customize the game's visuals and handling to their personal needs.

In short: the question which version is superiour is a question of individual needs. People can only make the right decision for them if they get proper information.

Unless you own a tin-pot with cables, PC has better graphics, and better performance, period. Arguing against it is just futile.

No puny controller will ever beat my Nostromo + G 600 setup.

I love my PS3, but this thread just made me ROFL hard.
