How awesome would it be to walk around in this game in VR !

You mean something like this?

FFXIV in Virtual Reality!

Only if I can get a peripheral that pets me whenever I get /pet.

Rather than try to shoehorn FFXIV into a VR mode, I think they'd be better off making a Final Fantasy VR spinoff game, independent of all the other Final Fantasy games. This saves them from trying to adapt FFXIV mechanics (such as having to look all around yourself for aoe telegraphs) to a VR setting for which it was never designed.

To be honest, though, I haven't been tremendously impressed with the VR games that I've tried. I'm not sure the technology is really there yet.

It’d be fun until you get into a raid. Then you’re blind.

I think they could do the crafting/gathering in VR.

Though it'd be a weird spinoff of FFXIV (instead of an original game), I'd pay good money for a crafting VR sim. Personally combat is too much for me in VR, but precisely creating weapons, armor and clothing? FANCY!

Crafting is pretty much identical across all classes, with same actions and animations, so...

Gathering is viable (SE already have a fishing VR already, thanks Noctis) but it'll probably need extra animations at least.

FFXIV's texture resolution is too low, IMO. You can get away with low res textures if it's like, cartoon styled or such, but FFXIV isn't...

VR would be slightly terrifying in this game because the game is weird. Seriously, have you seen some of the mobs? They look like something out of Willie Wonka's worst nightmare.

Hahaha! That's one of my favorite parts in leveling Botany/Mining: I can get reaaaal close to the mobs. Good lord some of the designs truly are terrifying. Those elephant things at Costa del Sol are soul-less looking and Goobbues have TEETH. SO MANY POINTY TEETH.

Could you imagine dungeons or raids in VR though? "How did you manage to stand in the bad!" "I literally couldn't see it because I wasn't looking at my feet!"

I'd rather run around in Vana'diel. Regardless of the lower texture quality, Vana'diel felt more like a real world.
