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

[supreme]

im not saying SE would need to make this full VR intractable ,
I mean let us just walk around as our characters ride our chocobo's etc

That'd be nice. Yoshi-p commented on this and why the project was on stand by. They were planning on supporting some sort of VR compatibility.

I'll link this article:

"But we have had some ideas, speaking with some media of maybe creating some kind of special room, maybe calling it like a Miqo'te paradise, where maybe you pay $50 and you can go in and you know, have some fun with the Miqo'te.

Seriously -.-

...That "paradise" mentioned sounds like a M-18+ rating the way it's stated.

I think they could do the crafting/gathering in VR. Have it so that your inventory is set out on a blanket, like a picnic, while you're crafting, or have special benches in guild halls/personal(or FC) housing that have ingredients laid out(probably just the ones you need to craft if they are in your inventory, otherwise there is a blank spot where the missing ingredient goes).

Gathering, well, that would be easy enough to do considering what there currently is out there for VR stuff, just incorporate it(hell, take the FFXV fishing one and reskin it for FFXIV fishing!!!) and do the botanist and miner stuff.

Considering how awful everything looks up close, not very awsome.

No, they should purge the entire the game and make a new FFXIV VR only. Players must buy separate weapon controllers in order to play as well. If you want to play as another class you'll need to purchase the weapon set with real money.
//I am joking.

Edit: that Miqo'te paradise sounds kinda....extra.

You mean something like this?

FFXIV in Virtual Reality!

I suppose the Miqote Paradise was more meant as a joke ;P

I do agree with some of the real points made in that article though - specially as someone who tends to get motion sick quite easly and wouldnt be able to use the feature at all due to that (I cant use any VR-stuff - 3D movies are a complete waste on me aswell).

So this gets a "No, thanks" from me for personal health reasons
But also a "No, thanks" considering that I cant really see a general benefit to this. Maybe I have the wrong impression of VR, considering I cant use it, but I dont really expect the current dungeons/combat system to work with it, so we'd probably end up with pouring ressources into re-making open world areas as some sort of walking simulator that most people will stumble through once and then return to normal settings (or ignore it in the first place). Seems like a waste to me...

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

Snip

I honestly have a very hard time watching 3D movies as well. It gives me a strong headache and everything looks blurry-ish, like ghosting. I have never used a VR device before but I wonder if it will create a similar effect based on what you're sharing.

[LineageRazor]

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.
