Cheapest way to play FFXIV?

"I met a FFXIV player on a dating app. Pt.2"

Okay, remember that post I made about what's the best class to play for this person I met on a dating app. Well, update, I rejected them. (Found out I was going to be their second, no thanks, I'm a 1 on 1 kind of Lala)

So it's part two, I met ANOTHER person. Why do I mention this? Well, I actually like this person. With that being said, they don't play FFXIV unlike the first person, so I wanted to ask. If I wanted to introduce this person to FF, and if I decided oh, "I should buy this person a Laptop or PC", what is the best laptop or PC to play FFXIV on?

Or should I buy them a PlayStation? If so, which one that won't cost a few of my vital organs?

Also, she's a furry, so what race I should recommend that isn't Hrothgar. (Assuming Fem Gar isn't released yet by time we can save up) Her fursona is a wolf, but she has two pet cats.


The last post I made had no negative comments, so please maintain the same helpful spirited environment as the last post.

Yes and no.

I want to EVENTUALLY buy them a PlayStation IF IT LAST. Also, I'm a minimalist who throws money at everything, so maybe that is a skill issue on my part. Considering when you're a minimalist, there is a lot of things you aren't buying, so you're wondering, wow, I can't hold all this money, maybe I should buy a Roomba. (My actual thoughts)

Also I feel when long distance, the distance becomes less when you're consistently interacting with them through something that you would spend a lot of time in anyway. Which creates a longer, healthier and more prosperous relationship. Vs, having social connections being strictly via ...FB, and Nintendo where there is less room for creating memories. Time is slower. In FF, and MMORPGS, time flies when you're having fun. And buying them a PlayStation, and playing FF for example with them, one day we're together, the next, it's two years later and it's still healthy due to being able to share a MMORPG together. Where we both can have our avatars be stand ins due to long distance.

(Also disregarding that in my culture I'm way behind, similar to south-Asian culture where if you're a certain age and haven't made any romantic waves, they consider you royally screwed)

Don't question my methods. ������ I like to plan ahead months and years in advance, life is scary if I don't have a Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, also I overthink due to being Autistic. Like "this scenario could happen, so I should prepare for x scenario".

A used PS4 would be a cheap initial investment that would run the game decently but as I understand it you would then be paying for PS live on top the sub and internet fees. HOWEVER.. that would probably be the cheapest initial investment.

I have no input for furry preference. No judgement but no input.

Thank you so much, I haven't touched Playstation since like, PlayStation 2. So I'm completely lost on what's even better.

Been a Nintendo and PC gamer for a very long time.
