FFXIV + PS VITA + Remote Play!

[Defmetal]

FFXIV Portable would be badass but we really have to consider how the controls are going to be without voice chat. How are you going to type? On-screen keyboard?

I think the good solution here would be to add FFXIV to Steam - This would allow Steam on PS3 to control FFXIV's voice chat and allow messaging and whatnot. Plus, Steam voice chat is cross-platform and is currently on PS3 distributed via Portal.

Nice idea, but that would involve going through a different company.

And let's recall that the reason there is no XBox360 version happening is because SE do not want to go through the XBox Live rules. Who knows what control, rules and restrictions Steam would want?

Yeah, I don't think some of you understand what i'm saying.. I don't really want this for 3G.. I want this for it's Wifi functionality so I can be in a different room or in bed playing a little before I head to bed :-P

This is currently possible using a program called splashtop hd with an android tablet. Works great on wifi, but is laggy and eats up alot of data over 3g. The program is 15 bucks I think, but there is a cracked version floating around on the internet somewhere. Works great on my toshiba thrive tablet over wifi.

Vita will have a mini usb port that they could use as a keyboard attachment point. Now don't ask me where I've seen it but it's true.

One issue is that the Vita's max resolution is 960 X 544 and FFXIV requires at least 720p. Even if you did manage to squeeze it down somehow, much of the text will end up illegible. Still, maybe someday the possibility will arrive. Technology changes so fast.

[DGMart]

Well see because I'm getting both anyway so why not try

FFXI is on steam and all of SE games for PC are on there also so i don't think that be much of a issue.

if you wanted to know the ram and Vram on the vita its 512MB ram (double of PS3, hence why it can cross game chat and ps3 cant) and it has 128MB of video ram (ps3 has 256). Could it run on the vita? possibly, it would be running on a much smaller screen, so who knows...would be neat though i already have a PC and a laptop that runs the game fine so i wouldnt need it.
