FFXIV with VR ability

[eaudaemon]

Yes, but the average MMO doex not require you to lay down for a $300 peripheral device. Maybe in a few years, if the headsets become more reasonable so that the install base gets larger, but at this point, no matter how cool it would be, it simply would not be profitable enough to justify the cost of developing it.

I think you misunderstand, the OP wasn't saying turn the game into a VR only game, he said to add a VR feature so that both VR and non VR players can play the same game, that gives the game flexibility for players to choose to go VR or non VR, just as it is currently flexible to choose to play it on PC or console.

That's basically what I said lol just worded better . Again would love to do some gathering in VR. Or some fishing don't want to play the hole game in VR. That's what elder scrolls will be for lol.

VR is niche enough as is. It'd be just as much of a waste of development as LoV

Final Fantasy 14 1.0 was niche once, if I remember correctly.

Final Fantasy 14 1.0 was niche once, if I remember correctly.

It had rather high system requirements for PC, higher than what was typically available.

We actually have a VR Arcade in my city. Place is packed pretty much daily.

I think it'll take a little more time, but I think one it's A bit cheaper I don't see any problem with it catching on.

That's what I'm talking about though, having a VR set right now is pretty high-cost and a high investment to make full use of it. Delegating resources to make the game be VR-accessible to that small group of players is the last thing they should be focusing on, less we want another repeat of LoV appealing to a very minuscule (if any) amount of players at the expense of other content.

Please SE please find away to allow people that have VR head sets to be able to play this game with them some how. Even if its just for gathering it would be so amazing.

I support this idea and would love to see it in the foreseeable future

I get what you're saying, but with the game's control system (the big hotbar system), and some of the movements you do, it would be a horrible experience if you ask me. I can see it making most people puke due to disorientation. To me, VR suits games like Elite Dangerous, Assetto Corsa, etc. Games that have dedicated peripherals designed for those games, not standard controller/kbm affairs. Elite Dangerous with a HOTAS, feels natural. Assetto Corsa with wheel and pedals, feels natural. VR can expand on that. But a game like FFXIV, I feel the VR would cause a disconnect.

We can't even get decent or updated textures, why on earth would they make an option for VR? Not trying to be a downer but don't your breath for something like this.
