Ps3 main tanking.

PS3 is no different if you are used to it. The only draw back the PS3 has is loading large amounts of data all at once. (FATES) Other than that, any prejudice towards PS3 players is purely PC elitism. I play on both and prefer PS3 100 times. I'm a WHM, my brother is a PLD and my cousins are DPS's. We have all been beaten turn 2 and are alll on PS3.

On topic of the thread, I have beaten turn 2 so far and I have been in coils for half a week so far. Ask me this time next week. I hope to at least attempt Twintania this week. Possibly beat it. We will see, but the PS3 is not holding me back.

Thanks man.. Good reply.. All i was trying to relay is that ps3 players can def do endgame, however ps3 does have some limitations specially tanking, i wish you luck on coil runs though man.

My brother says otherwise. Think about it. How do most PC players target? Tab? That's exactly like PS3's left and right buttons. The GCD allows for plenty of time to switch between rings and having just 2 rings gives you 32 slots for skills. (AKA all you will ever need) Also, movement is better IMO with sticks vs keys. Lag isn't really an issue in dungeons. (Anymore)

Which turn is he on? Controller tanking is not an issue, processing is.. Also i use ps3 slim since my fatty died.

Just beat T2 so basically T4. He doesn't have any issues MTing any of the bosses. The processing isn't an issue. If it becomes an issue then turn something off. Enemy names over their heads, All HP bars over their heads, animations for other players, etc. There are things you can do on PS3 to make it equal to a PC. With just 2 skill rings to cycle between, you have more than plenty of skill slots.

Just waiting for a group of PC! Elitests to get smacked down by a group of ps3 players when PvP comes out

Me too. #excited.

Cleared coil on PS3? Grats! You would have cleared it faster on PC though.

Having to turn a bunch of stuff off to make the game playable doesn't make it "equal to a PC".

I play on the PS3 and I'm a black mage. I've gotten to the point of almost beating twintania (8% health, we died to enrage cause we were holding dps to build LB!) but honestly I could not have done it without the assistance of people calling out twisters for me on team speak.

I agree that even with the limited buttons to press quickly we can still do just fine (sometimes even better) in battle than PC players but the lack of FOCUS TARGET is the one REAL issue.
Thankfully we are finally getting that on Dec. 17th.
