Au Ra Twitter Campaign vs Console players

[Arixtotle]

And yet PS4 continues to sell like hotcakes. I'm not saying that to start an argument, it's simply a counter point to what you're saying.

That's because there's a lot of console only games. And yet you don't see those of us without consoles bitching about it and saying that if we can't have it no one should. Take FFXV for example. It is CONSOLE ONLY. Should I be going on a forum and whining about not being able to play it? No because it's MY DECISION not to buy a console. Just like it's YOUR decision not to buy a PC.

This might be a good reply, if only I was making any of the arguments that you countered.

There are plenty of PC only games, just as there are Console only, and Tablet/phone only, or iOS only, so what's your point?

You obviously didn't read my posts since I haven't bitched about anything in this topic, nor did I say that if consoles can't have it no one should. Quite the opposite actually, since I said that while they could have put out a character creator for the console version, it would detract from the developers time spent on the real game. I stated clearly that I prefer that they focus on the game.

As for my decision not to buy a PC, you can roll that little cart back into your shed too since I have a laptop that's quite capable of playing FFXIV. I have purchased FFXIV for it also, however I choose to play on PS4 because it's pretty much a wash between the two for quality, and the console version of the controller interface feels far more polished.

Honestly, if you're going to flame someone, at least have the courtesy to read their posts (the ones you're replying to) so that you can actually counter what was said, and not what you imagined to be said.

Returning to the OP, I personally find it silly that there is a competition that is open to only one region, and even then only open to a portion of the player base in that region. Despite the fact that I think a console version of the character creator with the same video sequence as the benchmark would make a great game demo tool to drive sales on console, I don't think it's worth the effort at this stage as it would require testing and certification along with all the time and effort to do that, which is better spent on the game.
