[nokinator]

I think it would be kinda of cool to be able to play on my computer screen, That is if the pc can handle it.

YOUR THOUGHTS

No. I don't like smearing my fingers all over a screen to play a game.

I'm fine with mouse/keyboard or controller.

Hmm at least it's not a Kinnect controller.... I would imaging us standing up and flailing our arms to cast spells/attack..

Seriously... I started playing Fable: The Journey the other day... 4 hours later my whole body was aching, and I thought I was considered in-shape!!

Though, it would still be pretty cool to see (motion control). I'm not a fan of the touchscreen idea, although I'm sure whatever mobile ports XIV takes on will have the capability.

I think touchscreens are cool technology that work well for hand held devices where you fingers are easily in reach of the screen. If FFXIV is ever ported to WII U or PS Vita some touch screen features will work well.

I don't see it optimal for a PC where you have a touch screen monitor. You would have frequently to switch between keyboard/mouse and touch screen. If it's pure touch screen you would have to have a software keyboard this would be a little better, however it's more awkward typing on a software keyboard.

I also think touch screen PC setups would require a smaller monitor. My current monitor is 27". If it was a touchscreen I couldn't actually reach the monitor without leaning over.
