TGS 2016

[Hirskuwil]

So I am going to be at Tokyo Game Show next weekend. Getting excited about doing the battle challenges but I have a few questions. I'm sure many of you have taken part in the challenges in the past so where better to ask than here!

Firstly, I'm assuming that there will be both PCs and PS4s to play on, but just thought I would check whether that is usually the case. As a PS4 player I don't think I'd even be able to play using a keyboard and mouse! Secondly, do you get to play as your own character somehow or do you just get given one to play as? Thirdly, in case you are playing as a character you have been assigned, do you normally get some time before the challenge starts e.g. to rearrange your hotbar? Lastly, I have heard varying accounts of the difficulty of these challenges. Some people say that they are just the HM versions, others say they are between HM and extreme in terms of difficulty and others say they are actually easier than the HM versions. Just wondering what others' experiences of previous battle challenges were like in this regard.

Also, is anyone here going to be at TGS this year? What are you looking forward to most? I really need to do some research about what is actually happening beyond FFXIV XD
