Remote Play- How do you like it?

[ArisuChiisai]

You DO NOT have to be on the same network in order to use Remote Play to play XIV. I take my Vita to my parents/in-laws and use their WiFi to turn on my PS4 remotely and boot it up etc.

I can confirm this 100%. I play from work on my PS4 at home all the time. The Vita will first look for the PS4 on the local network, then check the internet. As long as you set up your Vita ahead of time, it will connect. That being said, I only do crafting, gathering, etc. I find the combat (I'm a tank) to be difficult, but YMMV.
