FFXIV on the Vita?

[nasomi]

Has anyone considered the memory requirements? I mean disk space. The game is 12gb on my pc, ps3 has 25gb to deal with on bluray, but throwing in $60-100 for a memory card to hold the game. Also is it financially viable? Will it get them subscribers that they otherwise wouldn't have? Probably not.

The amount of people who'd play the game on the Vita is still up in the air, yes, but I'd imagine that those who would are hardcore enough to buy any other gear they'd need to do it.

Gamescom interview. Yoshi-P said a Vita port is technically possible. But..
Final Fantasy XIV's Naoki Yoshida: "More people need to buy Vita" for a port to be worthwhile

remote play?
if it did came out to the ps3 to support FFXIV it can be good

Edit:
not to mention the User UI add ons if it worked for the ps3 version i quite imagine there would be PS vita Add on for the PS3 Remote play

I didn't see this posted yet, but if it has been sorry

video of PS Vita playing FF14 via remote desktop

With this, the vita acts more as a wireless monitor and control pad, so the "limitations" of porting the game to this system are no longer a major factor.

If they made something official with this capability (the video is showcasing a hacker made program) then the "limitations" of porting the game wouldn't be a factor because you wouldn't actually be porting the game.

Also it wouldn't be just for ff14, but for anything really.

Phantasy Star Online 2 No matter how you cut it, this is an MMO. Players on PC can play in the same world with Vita players too.

Watch how they use the touch screen features. its pretty cool

The Vita is just as powerful as the PS3, with 4-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore CPU and a 4-core SGX543MP4+ GPU.
Game Cards for the system aren't really an issue either with 2 4 8 16 32 and 64GB Cards available for developers.
FFXiV on Vita is not as farfetched as you think and could most certainly be done.

i cant see for what do we need a vita version? you want to play 30 minutes while in a bus or what? find a group.. do a raid.. its just not possible.. there is no pause button like for offline games..

there may be a PSO version for the vita.. but i HARDLY doubt thats a megaseller.. games on the vita sell badly and an MMO would sell much more bad, also.
And on the other side PSO is designed completely different. you play small missions (solo or in grp) on instanced "tube maps". it offers much more solo CASUAL AND LINEAR instanced content which you can do "on the hop".. not 30 minute dungeons like in FFXIV.

And at home you have your home console or PC to run it.
FFXIV isnt a game to play it "on the hop" while in subway or bus.. on a bench in a park or where the heck ever... no keyboard functionality, no teamspeak connections.

it just makes NO sense to me.. when you want touchscreen features then a Wii U makes MUCH MORE sense



A Vita version would be just a gimmick to me.. "ah here see i can run a MMorpg on my handheld .. *woo". i say a Wii U version should be much more important than a vita version..
