PS4 beta test

[Krokov]

With the beta test starting on the 22nd how many people will be doing it and/or playing on PlayStation 4 when it releases in April?

I will skip the Beta but plan to get myself a PS4 in April so I can make the switch on the 1st day possible.

Hi,

At the beginning of the beta, the PS4 will have separate servers with new characters.
But at one point of the beta we will be able to use our characters in normal servers.

I currently own PC/PS3 - never play PS3 however due to how bad it is.. But I will definitely spend a day checking out the beta to see how it compares to PC.

Interesting. You claim it's bad while you admit to never have played it.

Actually, PS3 version is pretty good apart from longer loading times on cutscenes.

I will be, I want to relearn PLD (1.0 lvl) so ill use that to relearn it. Been a pain to get into after 2.0 released

I'll be doing the beta on the 22nd. Firstly I want to see it in action and get all giddy about how nice it looks and smooth it plays. Secondly since I only really play FFXIV on mondays and tuesdays when stuff is interesting this should keep me distracted for a while .

I'll be in the Beta I'm hoping it will be more exciting than it is now cause its on my PS4.

If I owned a PS4 I would be doing it. But given the lack of games for the system at the moment, I'm planning to wait a bit. I'll probably get one in May.

Quoted for truth!

There are, frankly, not enough games that interest me for the PS4 to allow me to justify, even just to myself, the purchase of one. Knack looks interesting, and then some games that are not yet released, and won't be for a while.

Much as I'd love to get a PS4 expressly for FF14, however, I do not see the game lasting me long enough. While it certainly is fun, leveling all the combat jobs to 50 and getting their relics, after I've gotten that done, unless there is something else worthwhile that will take a while to accomplish, I do not see myself sticking around too long. And that in turn means that I cannot really use FF14 as "a game I'm interested in" when it comes to justifying the purchase of a PS4.
