FFXIV VR is happening…

[vanaii]

A while ago, I joined a party who wanted to attempt Endcaller EX from first person perspective. It was...something else. But based on that experience, I know that VR in this game (At least from first person) would never work out.

And for third person perspective...is it really that hard to just play the game like normal lol? Feels like VR would make it more difficult if anything.

VR makes just about any genre more difficult to play. That's the fun part.

I really really don't think it would work for a hotbar or menu-driven game, though. Needs direct interaction.

Just on the sickness/migraine, although physiologically women are more prone to it (many studies on this), it's also partially related to frame rate and resolution. Once I got my 3090 and a much better headset my seasickness went away.

Mmm, I think the same. Might work for people who can use ps2-like controllers though.

I know when I am in MSFS-VR it's pretty easy to fly as I have physical controls in the correct place. I can reach out my hands and grab the throttle or steering. And when in NMS VR the VR controllers work very well. (NMS in VR is awesome fun)

Except, the only way it will run will be as a Loader.

So, umm, it's going to fall on the wrong side of the addin rules.



Yeah nah. Secondlife has been there since 2005, it leaves FFXIV in the dust for user created content - and varied up to extreme ERP.

Probably irrelevant but you should expand your extreme ERP boundary in terms of Second Life. Paid sex services (like webcamming and irl visitation) is a thing over there now way more than it used to be and can fall into "user created content (youll see rooms specically created for it or on advertisijg space at clubs now). Otherwise this is accurate, the capabilities of SL blow FF out of the water, especially in the animation and physics department. It's all also supported by the devs so they provide more tools to creators than FF ever will.

Meh... Full dive immersion VR only... It's only good if something can go horribly wrong leaving us stuck in our character's body unable to log out... >.> lol

It's perfect!

Zenith: The Last City

is an MMO built specifically for VR (available on PS4 and through Steam) and it is pretty decent.

Might have to dust off my ps4 and get a vr to give it a shot. I love my games and i know i spend more time playing and not enough time exercising so i figured something like that might be a happy medium

I'm ambivalent about VR FFXIV (or any other game) because I'm super-prone to car-sickness in first person games. Therefore, I'm likely never going to be able to play. However, just because I cannot play doesn't mean others can't.

To be honest FFXIV is the closest thing we have to an Ready Player One game (without vr for now) it is the most complete and player rich modded / content game that there is for now that is honest with what they sell to you upfront.

No? People like this are high on FFXIV - Go out and play some more stuff before you start calling this the holy grail of everything. lol

We're gonna stay stagnant if this is the best you think MMOs can do.

It won't be since it's been advertised now.

I suspect SE will clamp on it

[Reclusegamer]

I don't know how well this would work in intense instances.

For flying and open zones, yeah. That would be a blast. Flying through the Burning Wall, Western La Nosca and other maps with iconic map locations would be a thrilling, breathtaking and immersive experience...

but in certain trials and alliance raids that would be a visual HELL. Especially with instances that have mechanics requiring you to look behind and on your sides.

Wait. How will they deal with the hand cursor mechanic from the Ivalice Raids?
