FFXIV:ARR PS VITA PS3 remote play

Surprised there are not more "plug-in" sort of games. Like play through random side story for vita, earn loot for your MMO character. Sure there's been a few freebies just for straight out buying a game, but I mean something more directly tied to your character. The plug-in game could even access your regular MMO account for your main character's stats, and then use those for the separate game. I guess it is just a matter of ending up with your developer resources split too much.

Oh I know what you mean. The Chocobo World, PocketStation tie in for Final Fantasy VIII that was only available in Japan.

That would be awesome if SE did this.

iirc. you can collect items from Chocobo World and transfer them over to FFVIII.

iPad has no buttons, it can indeed play mobile apps, but its not a dedicated gaming machine like PS Vita.

You may consider the Vita to be better for gaming than the iPad, that does not mean it is. The iPad is as much a gaming machine as the Vita. The Vita lacks any way at the moment to connect a keyboard, or additional controllers. The iPad allows this. And the Vita lacks dedicated L2 and L3 buttons. In any case, the "dedicated gaming machine" argument is has no merit. They are mobile computers, capable of running a variety of software. Buttons have no relevance.

If the development team really wants to spend time and effort on a Vita version, they can. I just don't see it being practical.

L2, R2 = Back touch pad
L3, R3 = Touch screen (if game developers make it that way)
Keyboard = Touch screen keyboard
Dual Analog = iPad does not have
D-Pad = iPad does not have
(Triangle, Circle, Cross, Square, L1, R1) = iPad does not have

Your argument is flawed.. You aren't just saying, you are downplaying.. You have my sympathy.. Vita is first considered a gaming machine, and not the other way around.

Yeah spend more money on a peripheral. However Vita can be used as a peripheral for PS3.

Yes just like you have to spend 60+ bucks for a mem stick whats the difference?

The difference is I can do more with that memory card, than buying a stand alone controller for an iPad..

edit: I think its to much trouble holding a controller to play a game on iPad. Better of playing on PC in that case.

Some sort of Vita function would be cool.. It doesn't have to be a playable version, but maybe you can access your logs and what not. Kind of like how Batman works on the Wii-U.

Sorry for double post, buuut.. Why would I want to plug a controller into my Vita when it has a controller built into it? That's basically what all the buttons are that surround the screen. The iPad is just a tablet with the option to play games. Vita is a game machine with option to have apps.
