PS Vita and Final Fantasy XIV

[Noir]

Yup. That's what I meant. Remote play isn't good. I meant to play both consoles the same game, using some kind of cloud save system. Maybe That will be a reason for me to actually pay a play station plus account.

Frankly, if they go with a port rather than something platform-specific, they'd probably have an easier time porting from the PC.

I just don't see them porting the entire game regardless.

However, if they do release some sort of app or game that latches into ffxiv (chocobo raising, crafting, anything really) I can see myself buying a Vita at that point.

Colino, just posting to say that your sig is epic

FYI a dual core cortex A9 has about the same performance of an Intel Atom N450. Since the vita has a Quad A9 it should be at the same level of a dual core atom. Have fun gaming on it just hope they dont make the engine so low spec it hurts us pc gamers.

EDIT: for those that say Vita is at the same level of PS3 graphics

The one for vita looks better. But I don't think ridge racer is a good example. I mean, it's a launch title and launch titles, usually aren't given the time to get polished. When we get second version of Games on vita from renowned studios like square and naughty dog (not bend studios), we will see what it will capable of. I'm optimistic.

Don't compare ARM to x86... that's just fail. And don't compare new games of a new system to new games of a super old system. The VITA version is probably a bad port.
Btw did you even look at that video you posted? The games look different but the quality is the same.

Alot of naysayers in this thread don't believe the power of the VITA!

You guys have not seen the advancements in tech in the last 5 years?

There is not reason a port can not be made within 1-2 years for the vita. The only complication I could see would be the social features of FFXIV... obviously there is no keyboard on a VITA. But creative minds can think up anything.

Don't doubt! If they wanted to make it they could!

That's because most of consumers expectations are quite low that we are getting games running at 30fps. I'm sorry but I'm not enjoying most of games when they cannot even run with a solid 30fps... Then again, I'm not asking for xiv on vita to run at 60fps, but if other games cannot, xiv will never. Square Enix fail at optimising anything they develop.

Other games can run at 60 FPS, as I said, a lot of companies choose not to because they can still make good games that run at under 60FPS and no one complains but people who look for something to complain about.

With my psp now not the vita, it Remote plays ps1 games so slow i couldn't even see it being that good on the vita.

PSP is quite older technology versus the VIta. Just compare the processing power alone (the main hardware utilized for remote play.)

obviously there is no keyboard on a VITA.

Onscreen keyboard. It works pretty well. I wouldn't want to write a letter with it but for short messages it's good enough.

Why on earth would they release FF XI on Vita? That is not going to happen, you should not believe everything you read on the net. FF XIV isn't going to happen either, Vita isn't powerful enough for that.
