Legacy

[Kirito]

2 legacy accounts hopefully double my chances

It will likely just give you two codes to use characters in both accounts. Recall you actually need to register each service account with the ps3 key to use the characters. So I think if you want you use characters on both accounts for the beta you would need two beta codes.

@shougun thanks !!
@lucke.. Is teamspeak an in game function in ffxiv? Is that what you guys are saying ps3 players wont have? Hmm had no idea it had a way to voicechat with players right inside the game..


If so i do have my Mac in my room (same room as pS3) & i also have an ipadmini i had no idea i could use ventrilio on my ipad mini thats awesome if im wrong please correct me.. Or is there another form of using the ffxiv in game voice chat (assuming there is one) from my ipad.

I plan on buying the ps3 copy as well.. Im guessingni enter that validcode in my Legacy account giving it access to both systems.

Teamspeak/Ventrilo are 3rd party programs. You run them on your PC which allows you to chat with your friends. Not sure how it works on Teamspeak, but for Vent, your LS rents a server which you guys sign on to when you load up Vent. Everyone on your Vent server can voice chat with each other. In 1.0, you would have Vent running in the background while you did whatever in game.

If you want to play on your PS3, you can install it on your laptop, hook up a mic/headset and you are good to go. I think as far as iPad apps and such, I heard something about Vent/Teamspeak on your phone, but I haven't followed up on that. Another thing to look into would be Skype. You can use that instead of Vent/Teamspeak as well. It just depends on what your LS wants to do.

Welcome on board ^^

Just as people were saying for ps3 users you can just use the pc/laptop or whatever ppl use to do voice chat and yes in my case of my ls we used skype for many reasons. Primary because voice output was the best of them all. On ventrillo was awful (robotic voices ugh). And second skype is free but on negative point is you need to do everytime a call to the friends instead ventrillo/teamspeak/mumble having channels rooms. Besides that skype is the best imo.

About PS3... don't buy it. PS4 is coming this year is going to be a waste of money... save it for PS4 and play with graphics on low/medium for a bit if your pc is weak. That was what I would do

The only disadvantage to PS3 version is the possible delay in getting player made add-ons. On PC you can download and add them as soon as they are ready, but I guess SE would have to port over the add-ons (of their choice) to the PSN first.

In FFXIV you could both rent chocobos and eventually through the Grand Company quests, you could obtain and name your own personal chocobo. The rentals were a little slower in speed though, and had a timer on them. You can summon your personal (grand company) chocobo whenever, and for however long you wanted.

You can own more than one, we had the GC Chocobo and a Goobbue mount that was only available to obtain for a limited time. So the Legacy Chocobo would give some of us 3 mounts.

It is possibel for PS3 versions of games to support mods (example, unreal tournament 3) made on the PC, but it's likely that the memory available for their use on the PS3 would be very limited if the support is available.

(For UT3, all you had to do was "cook" your mod for the PS3, put it on a USB thumb drive or a memory stick, and install it from within the game)

@lucke thank you, now i understand. I also found the ventrilo app in the app store.
@Shiko thanks! I already own a ps3 so i wouldn't have to purchase another..didn't know PS4 launched this year! So will the gfx be better when i play it on the PS4 instead of a ps3?


Im so excited !

SE said they may port over mods that are so great they and useful that you cant play as well without them. I'll be interested to know if they are porting over distance meters, atlas addons, and boss helpers. For a dev to automatically create a boss warning addon seems a bit unlikely and just weird lol. Maybe their addon system wont be able to read chat and therefore can't warn players.

You get the ability to post on the forums and say that your opinions are better because of your Legacy status.

jk, jk... But I do expect some people will do that, unfortunately...

You do get bragging rights, though in the same way a generic, headband-wearing Vietnam War veteran does.

...Me? I'll point to my name at the credits and tell my friends, "See this? This was the moment that my virginity was set in stone for all eternity."
