FFXIV with VR ability

1. I've tried the Vive/Rift. Good for games that are designed for VR, like I said, Elite Dangerous and Assetto Corsa. I tried a demo of proper VR at a convention. I've also played the former game with the rubbish "phone VR" - and aside from the stupid VR drift because my phone is aluminium... it's breathtaking even on a phone.
2. I agree, it's no longer a gimmick. It's a really immersive experience, for games designed with it in mind. I believe ETS2 supports VR as well, I will be dabbling into that at some point.
3. FFXIV was designed for tab target massive hotbar 3rd person combat. I daresay this is clearly not a good one for VR. So much would have to be remade, since I don't think FFXIV would work well with VR. Now, if they made say a FF17 MMO with VR in mind, that'd be a blast and would probably be really good, but I don't think they can feasibly make FF14 good for VR without changing so much it risks alienating the current user base.

Ive had a different experience with phone Vr..It looks bad and is hard to align the lens properly. It gave me a massive headache after every use. Vive and PSVR do not. In fact, since maybe a week after obtaining it them, I no longer feel motion sickness from most games. (try spinning a spaceship in space stations with your boost on and no proper "up" or "down"../bleghhhh)

An FF VRMMO.. Now theres an idea. Id love to see that.

With games like Rigs which in my opinion is still one of the best looking PSVR games graphically and Resident Evil 7 comes second and even Robinson The Journey which had amazing graphics. I can't see how phone VR would be that grat to be honest with you.

Different people find different things great. I am able to be fully immersed in both phone and normal VR. Is phone VR inferior to normal VR? Certainly. That I will not argue, but that doesn't mean it can't be great for some people.

Problem with phone VR in my experience is duration. Phones get too hot too fast. At least the formerly explosive Samsung Galaxy phones lol

One thing I did like about it compared to PSVR is the lack of cords, though. Wireless controller, wireless headphones, wireless headset. Tangled cords are annoying in VR

That is not something I will even try to deny. My HTC One M8s, even using Facebook, gets so hot I can cook a lalafell on it and cook it to a heat that the lalafell is safe to eat. If I tried to hold it for an extended period without the case on I'm sure I'd end up literally burning my hand... >_<
