No keyboards

[CCheshire]

When I played on the PS4, I had a cheap wireless one, and it was approx $13, but you can buy one a lot less if it's just a plain wired one from the shop too.

TBH, it's useful to have a backup KB for emergencies too since hardware can break down, and sometimes I need to test them. Then, I always found it great for communication and listing items for sale like I can use the virtual one, but I don't want to suffer for no reason.

You can play this game without a keyboard. But this game mode you cannot. Not sure why they went with this game option, they could of added any other mini game. But many people on console including myself play with a keyboard to chat so its not a big issue.

The decision to make a minigame that excludes console players is puzzling, but then again whoever thought that a limited time, typing minigame to be whored out to IPs was just what Gold Saucer needed has questionable taste/motives to begin with.

The "quick buck, FOMO-filler during content lulls" is too on the nose this time.

It doesn't exclude console players. The typing challenge requires a typing device, which every console supports.

Are there really players on consoles outside, who play FF14 without additional mouse and keyboard? D :

I play the Switch 2 version at the moment. And I am using controller, mouse and keyboard. I would go crazy with just a controller. xD

I play on controller but use the keyboard to write in chat (and for this mini-game). ^^
Wouldn't like this game if it was keybord only.

Fair enough, but at the same time for Xbox and PS, it's not that expensive to buy a keyboard. It doesn't need to be a brand new one even, just needs to work for a few days (depending on how many points each run gives).
