How awesome would it be to walk around in this game in VR !

FFXIV's texture resolution is too low, IMO. You can get away with low res textures if it's like, cartoon styled or such, but FFXIV isn't...

It’d be fun until you get into a raid. Then you’re blind.

I honestly have a very hard time watching 3D movies as well. It gives me a strong headache and everything looks blurry-ish, like ghosting. I have never used a VR device before but I wonder if it will create a similar effect based on what you're sharing.

VR can be a lot worse, actually. Some people cant even do it, yu can get pretty severe and violent motion sickness if you can't adapt to it. A lot of games really do shortcuts to minimize that, to the point where don't even move normally, you teleport between locations. And more worrisome is that you can get some form of depersonalization/dissasociation after, a VR hangover is the term.

VR would be slightly terrifying in this game because the game is weird. Seriously, have you seen some of the mobs? They look like something out of Willie Wonka's worst nightmare.

Oh yes. Especially if you aren't used to VR. When I first tried it and finished the VR demo, I was unable to stand for about 5 minutes after (I legit tried to and promptly decked it onto concrete floor). Now that I have a VR headset and have used it a good few times, I've grown resilient to it. But yes, disassociation, depersonalisation, loss of balance and co-ordination, etc. All very much real issues with VR. Be careful when you attempt it.

Hahaha! That's one of my favorite parts in leveling Botany/Mining: I can get reaaaal close to the mobs. Good lord some of the designs truly are terrifying. Those elephant things at Costa del Sol are soul-less looking and Goobbues have TEETH. SO MANY POINTY TEETH.

Could you imagine dungeons or raids in VR though? "How did you manage to stand in the bad!" "I literally couldn't see it because I wasn't looking at my feet!"

I think they could do the crafting/gathering in VR.

Rather than try to shoehorn FFXIV into a VR mode, I think they'd be better off making a Final Fantasy VR spinoff game, independent of all the other Final Fantasy games.

Though it'd be a weird spinoff of FFXIV (instead of an original game), I'd pay good money for a crafting VR sim. Personally combat is too much for me in VR, but precisely creating weapons, armor and clothing? FANCY!

Crafting is pretty much identical across all classes, with same actions and animations, so...

Gathering is viable (SE already have a fishing VR already, thanks Noctis) but it'll probably need extra animations at least.

I'd rather run around in Vana'diel. Regardless of the lower texture quality, Vana'diel felt more like a real world.

I've tried VR at a gamescon few years back. Both 90 & 120 FPS and I just get headache, start to see bad, etc.
It's similar when I watch a 3D movie on my 3D TV but less after an hour or so my eyes start to tear and the headache comes.

Playing games on a normal monitor I have no issues, I do however need 60FPS though. On G-sync & Free-sync I can do with less but not too low. Frame stability is another huge drop for me, if frames are jumping around I get headache as well.
