    Oculus Rift support

    This game is beautiful and I fear that some of the beauty is lost on players who run from objective A to objective B without stopping to look at the scenery in between.
    Other than trying it once I'd wager that nobody plays in first person mode.
    When I actually tried it, I was amazed at the beauty I had been missing. My first thought was that I could easily greet lost in this game (in a good way) if I were playing with an Oculus Rift.

    I've seen the suggestion pop up a few times in beta when the Rift was in the news as lot more with the disappointing response that there were no plans for support.
    That had me thinking just how much support would be needed. I'm certainly no developer nor programmer but it seems to me as easy as adding a second player camera point. I'm certain there is a lot more than that.

    But my point is, I'd like to readdress Oculus Rift support.
    Without software, hardware will fail. This hardware is the future of gaming.
    The first MMO with native Oc Rift support would be HUGE.

    Who has an occulus rift? nobody I know. They probably aren't supporting it because it isn't in their financial interests.

    I have one, and I can bet that supporting the Oculus rift would boost sales for them at least. I mean how many people have been amped for a Sword Art Online/.hack style game. I know a lot of people who would jump at the chance to play with a Rift, especially if they incorporate proximity chat!

    The only MMO i know that would work with Oculus Rift is ESO and that due to the fact that you can play first person. Unlike FFXIV where you have to get out of red circle. How would that work if you looking at the game in first person? how would you get out of the way if all you looking at is what your char see and not the overall map?

    I feel it just wont work with FFXIV gameplay but i see it working just fine with ESO.
