ffxiv ps4

[Johnist]

btw anyone heard about ffxiv being cross compatible with the vita. Sony is currently pushing on all devs to have games playable on both the PS4 and PSvita so how does that work? I like the idea but I don't think it will be "working as intended"

They are working on using the Back touch pad for the lack of an L2/R2. The front touchscreen will act as a mouse. You will be able to stream from PS4 to PSV.

Hopefully they let you use the keyboard onscreen via the touchpad otherwise entering macros could prve to be a major pain... Although with the streaming to PSV it makes me wonder if we'll see a flat-out PSV version for me to use on wi-fi...

At least PS4 comes with cross-game Voice Chat and Twitch streaming... would love it to get a Teamspeak app for PS4.

Hey guys n gals, sorry to sound like a newbie

I have PS3 version, and will be upgrading to PS4 version in due time, but, I was wondering if I could use my PS3 account and character if I was to purchase the PC version of the game ???????

As other people I have seen comment, they can PC play and spare the TV for others lol

Thanks in advance for any replies

Yes its a shame we loose the upscale 720p, bare bones version of the pc only to get the full 1080p pc version on the PS4 >.<

We've heard that the engine they're using is very scalable, technically it /can/ work on the vita stand-alone, but with the cross-play functions of the vita they won't need to do that, they'll be able to provide support in the future for 'cross-play' PS4>Vita rather easily via streaming.
Don't hold your breath on when they'll actually get this done, if even by February.

As long as you apply the PC code to the same service account, you can play on PC and PS3. Be careful and run the benchmark program before buying the full game for PC. In order to play the game well you need a MINIMUM rating of 3000 (This is the lowest I've heard of people being able to successfully do Titan HM).

Much thanks for the feedback, 4851 on MAX from benchmark so should be sa weeeett lol
So after I go and get PC copy, will I be paying out for 2 accounts across the 2 platforms or do you think I will be paying for 1 account to use it across the 2 ?? :-/
Read a few posts and got a tad confused reading so many versions of so many answers lol

Sorry again

If you apply it to the account that has the PS3 service you will still have 1 Service account. You will also get a bonus 30 days (but not a reward tier added for those 30 days since you did not BUY the time, you bought the Service). You will be able to play the same character on PS3 and PC. If you then upgrade to PS4 it would be PS4 & PC instead but without PS3 access or you could buy an additional PS4 service account to be added to the PS3 and PC services.

If you apply PC code to a New Service Account, you cannot use your PS3 characters and have to pay a second subscription.

Awesome stuff, my PS3 is lagging big time and I gotta wait for my mate to have a look to see if it is a dead end or if he can fix it :-(
So I get the PC version, I can carry on playing my account until the PS4 upgrade, but then I can play across both depending on situations, wicked stuff

Much thanks for the intel Johnist

You are very welcome. I think the full version of PS4 will come with 2.2 (and continuation of BC).
