Closer to .hack than I thought!

[heynowjose]

.hack is the reason I got into mmorpgs and the reason I love them. And 5 months ago this happened (which I obviously found out about today lol): http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/blog/001184.html

I looked up the video on youtube and got so many wonderful feels over how close I am to .hack lol

I'm just curious, would you guys ever play the game like this? (Obviously a lot of work would have to be put into the VR tech to make it viable in dungeons and what not)

I for one think I most DEFINITELY would. I looked up articles form ppl who tried the demo and they seemed to really enjoy it despite the unfinished-ness of it. I'd love to use this tech as a gatherer, running around mining. Ah, the dream. So thoughts?

I need to move back to Japan, posthaste. If that's where this tech is gonna be then................

I know it already happened but. It'll happen again. Probably in Tokyo again.

Wow, that'd be incredible. I sure hope making that demo was an initial step towards eventually opening up the whole game on Playstation VR once it comes out.

Maybe. Will it put you in a coma if you die to mechanics?

I recall the devs saying this was just a bit of fun. They currently have no plans to make the game VR compatible.

VR MMOs won't really be a thing until VR itself has taken off. It's gaining popularity through the likes of the Cardboard but it won't hit critical mass until the major brands launch their units over the next year.

It's more like Log Horizon. I look forward to getting the VR gear then getting trapped in the gameworld :3

That could arguably be worse, though if I remember my .hack right atleast the Log Horizon version would be a bit better with how you use your attacks and all.

Yes. It will serve as the ultimate inspiration to git gud. And I'll still be healing and marking anyone with rude comments for death.

On-topic, I would certainly play it. Perhaps it'll make some of the grinding (specifically the coin-flip of destiny that is the level 60 roulette) more enjoyable and entertaining.

VR Titan sounds really terrifying and awesome at the same time

Mh..probably not. I really, really prefer to have a super wide view of everything, I tend to play all zoomed out and play only ranged classes because I have a view of the whole battlefield.
Being limited to an in-person perspective would drive me completely mad x.x

On the other hand, I also want that "actually BEING in a video game" feeling one day, so..a bit torn :3
