FFXIV producer expects some to shift from PC to PS4

Destructoid: "During a PAX interview this past weekend, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn producer Naoki Yoshida told us that they expect the balance between the PC and console versions of the game to be 70 percent PC / 30 percent console. On the other hand, PCs in Japan are mostly used for work, so that'll be upside down there. Yoshida explained that while Final Fantasy XI helped bring more Japanese gamers to PC, they still predict 65 percent of players to use a console for this next game."

Always better to play on a couch and be comfortable rather than sitting on a chair.

MasterCornholio3882d ago

I game while sitting in a chair since I use my desk for both work and play. But I always game with a controller because to me its a lot more comfortable than a mouse and keyboard. However its a pain to type with one but luckily the PS4 supports keyboards input.

Always better to sit in the right chair regardless for actual back rest and proper posture.

NarooN3882d ago

Well, it's pretty easy to play PC games on a couch. A lot of people build their own gaming PC's specifically purposed to be hooked up via HDMI to their HDTV's. Just every every modern PC game had full gamepad support, and it's easy to do manual legacy gamepad support as well for titles that have issues with modern gamepads or didn't have gamepad support in the first place.

There also exist wireless keyboards and mice (not exactly a recent phenomenon, lol.)

Just sayin'. Also, regardless of how close you are to the monitor, or what type of gaming you're doing, you always want to have the best comfort possible... Don't need any spinal issues in the future or anything.

I play on my couch with my pc games with an xbox controller. I also play final fantasy xiv on my pc with xbox controller sitting on my couch

When I was visiting my mom's village last June, we had to wait for a boat to come and pick us up. Since it'll take some time for it to arrive, I whipped out my laptop, connect the 360 controller and fired up Ace Combat Assault Horizon.

In the village I continued playing my library of Steam games from the comfort of a couch that console gamers loved so much.

Really, stop with that old nonsense of PC incapable of playing from a couch. If only Nvidia would expand the Shield's streaming tech to its future graphic cards on PCs or as add on cards then playing you PC games in the living room (or anywhere in the house with a TV or monitor)would be hassle free.

Its a safe bet that it will shift, The game really isn't that good and will end up mainly being a fanboy/console game

FamilyGuy3882d ago

You're kidding right? lol

Have you actually played it?
What didn't/don't you like about it?
Compare it to a similar game that blows it out the water.

Peekayboo3882d ago (Edited 3882d ago )

I got a 50 bard and completed the story and geared up.

The combat still doesn't feel good even after gearing up and seems like they expected everyone to play with cast sequence macro's and not want to control their characters.

They'er really aren't that many single player mmo's with token reward systems but mmo's that i'd rather play and are currently out are Darkfall>Mortal Online>WoW>GW2>Tera UO and all have better combat then FFXIV

SkullBlade1693882d ago

No big loss, the game isn't exactly great anyway...

Agent_hitman3882d ago

Make sense to me since a lot of FF fans are Playstation fans as well..

Xbox Profanity Filter Is Ruining the FFXIV Chat

The Xbox profanity filter is currently ruining the readability of the FFXIV chat on Xbox Series X/S due to censored words.

Lol, damn... At this point, they were better off keeping FF XIV away from Xbox. It has been nothing but obstacle, after obstacle.

gold_drake20d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

What happens if you say things that used to get you banned on Twitter e.g. 'a man can't be a woman'?

I'm not convinced this is the profanity filter. It doesn't make sense to censor words like class, harvest and dance. It seems to be a bug.

TheGamingHounds19d ago

Well, FF14 itself has some pretty awful chat censoring so Xbox being in the same boat isn't too farfetched

Eidolon19d ago

it censored the S T D in "harvest dance" and I bet the A S S in class. I know this because of Runescape

Aphrodia20d ago

Yeah these new fangled filters are going a bit too far. I have a game that filters "wtf". It's a censor for a self-censoring phrase. But I think overall it's how it should be. If you don't want certain language being used in your game by your player base, then it's up to you to filter/ censor the language you don't want. I can respect that. What I can't respect is when you say things that are not really offensive then you get ostracized for it.

shinoff218320d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA20d ago

This is completely false, I tested this on my son's child account and mine, this is not Microsoft censoring they will censor swears but not the combination of letters I can prove this with a screenshot where I use all mentioned words in the article but do not know how to upload a picture.

NOMATICENIGMA20d ago

You can all continue your bashing, I was wrong someone explained to me this is a new policy, that's why it only happens for me in this brand new release. I'll try latter on ps to confirm but their response seemed informed wich leaves me rather worried for future censorship on my xbox.

CrimsonWing6920d ago

Geezus, Xbox, you get gifted gold and still f*ck things up.

NOMATICENIGMA20d ago

It's not xbox, go ahead start a chat with the youngest person on your friends list then say raid mass class sass said .... they do not censor any of these I even got away with R.Aids. sqaure on the other hand does.

CrimsonWing6920d ago

Does this affect PC and PS4/PS5 users, too? Or is it only happening on Xbox?
