In-Game Parser.

[Deculture]

Not having parsers available for all platforms (PC/PS3/PS4) was the biggest mistake SE has made for this game. It gives yet another unfair advantage to PC players (on top of all the other stuff like Guildworks, Radar, ACT triggers, faster load times, etc) when said platform already has a pretty big field advantage from the get go.

Faster load times are unfair in your opinion? Really?

I suppose everyone should run like they're on a PS3 then. Nevermind taking advantage of the hardware some people have on their PCs, or the hardware on the PS4.

I am a PC player with a high end rig utilizing an SSD. You cannot say that loading faster is not an advantage when hunts are so popular that marks die within 30 seconds of being announced.

It's an advantage, but it's not unfair.

That FFXIV is available on PC at all means that various computer setups are expected.

How miserable do you think any PC gaming experience would be, if every game developer catered to the lowest common denominator? Why buy more expensive hardware at all?
