    Will there be PS4 stations to play the game during fan fest?

    Will there be PS4 to play in Vegas or it will be all computers, mouse, keyboards like we see on the pictures of previous fan festival? Because i'm a ps4 user and if computers are the only option i will try to buy a keyboard and practice before.

    At many of their events thus far (Both E3 this year, and the past) + both PAXs they've had Keyboard and controllers. I only attended E3 but I noticed the set up was almost the same from some photo's I saw of PAX.

    At E3 2013 they had 3 stations for the ifrit challange. Since it was a modified ifrit story mode it was 8 players instead of 4, and 4 members were on ps4 while 4 members were on keyboard/mouse.

    At E3 2014 they had 4 stations of 8 players for the Leviathan Challange. This time it was set up slightly different with all 8 players on PC, but 4 of the players had the option to use a controller at 4 of the stations in one party. You always had the option to play with a keyboard/mouse since they were all on PCs but- say if you wanted to play the WHM it only had the keyboard option, where the SCH had either keyboard or controller (just because the 'station' the SCH was hooked up to had the controller option hooked up to it but the WHM station didn't)

    I myself play on keyboard/mouse so it wasn't that bad seeing as I had the option on every station to play keyboard/mouse, but it was extremely difficult for the other player I teamed up with who played WHM main but also played with a controller. We ended up wipeing the fist time around because of it. I play SCH main but WHM sub so I didn't mind switching to the controller station and playing with keyboard + then the SCH she'd be used to playing with a controller- after the switch it was a easy win. So I do hope they take into account either letting players switch class/job on each station if that's the case (honestly it may have been set up that way already I just didn't notice it during E3)


    Obviously, I'd wait on official word but I'm sure it's safe to say they'll have both options available at fan fest.


    My real question is can we bring our own gaming mouse?
    (I use a naga, and for those of you who play with one I'm sure realize it's a night to day difference to playing with the mouse hotkeys opposed to using 1-0 on the keyboard)

    I am also curious about this because I play with a trackball and was considering bringing it along. I have no clue how you folks effectively mouselook with a mouse!

    I wonder if I brought a logitech F310 gamepad if they would let me plug it in to the terminal I use if no WHM station has a controller :x
