How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

[Dirwen]

We have PS4 players, who can't parse themself and are 100% dependent on PC players to parse them and many are not quiet happy with this state, they want to be able to parse themself.
PS4 players are forced to fly blind, while PC players have the opportunityto remove their blindfold and see their performance themself.
It's mostly a question for equal opportunity.

I don't understand how people can play online FF on console. I learned my lesson from FF11 when i started out on PS2. Console will get outdated while the game will keep going on the years and you will be left behind as the updates will not work well on your old console.

I don't understand why it's a hard concept to understand that some are not able to purchase a decent laptop due to life obligations or can't afford to build a tower. $300 doesn't come cheap for everyone.

Consoles are pretty expensive themselves but I'm not a gamer so yea... Unless only playing FF14 is considered being a gamer.

Sorry if it sounded confusing. I use a cheap desktop computer is why. Granted it only scored a standard on the SB benchmark so dodging mechs can be a pain sometimes. Price wise its the same as a console is what I was trying to get at. However, I'm assuming you are talking about gaming rigs that are high priced stuff.

No, I was thinking of the basic desktop - you still have to get a monitor, buy a decent graphics card if the desktop isn't at least decent enough to run at 18-24FPS, etc. My laptop can't handle ...pretty much anything beyond 4-mans because of visual effects. PS4, I've already had for other games prior to me subbing for FFXIV.

I don't think laptops are good for gaming due to the heating issue. Meh I suppose your right in that console is better unless you had a gaming computer. Also I probably won't be able to try high end content as I won't trust my computer when it comes to dodging mechs.

Consoles don't need to be upgraded as fast as PC's do and its cheaper to buy a console than a PC. Sure console games are most of the time more expensive but the console itself is cheaper than a decent PC.

I don't understand how people can play on a laptop / computer. I prefer sitting on my comfortable sofa looking at a big tv screen anytime.
I have a PS4 4 Pro currently and no problems with updates whatsoever. And once the PS5 is realised I will just buy that - and who knows if FF14 is still alive then.
No, but seriously, it's just a matter of taste. Some simply prefer consoles while others prefer playing on computer ^^
