Hydaelyn Role-Players

Hi!  
My name is Michi (the dot is silent).
I first played FFXIV when it came out the very first time.  Limited Edition box set and everything.  I stopped after about a month and recently started playing again on my PS4.  I wanted to play a PC copy but I got a new computer since then, so I waited a bit to play a PS4 copy.

When it comes to roleplaying, I am not exactly new.  I have roleplayed in other MMORPGs, like WoW, and I have done forum roleplay.  I am hoping to join Balmung sometime tonight when the server opens.  I want to get a better command on the controls and what not before I 100% start roleplaying so I don't be a nuisance to anyone.  I hope to see everyone in-game though!

I do have a question, if anyone could answer.  As I said, I am playing on the PS4.  Is there a way to type things a bit faster/better on a console version?  Is it possible to plug a keyboard and mouse into the console and play that way or does anyone have any tips for roleplaying on a PS4/console copy of the game.  I tried to fish around the forum and didn't find much, so yeah.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you <33

I'm not really very well versed in PS4, so I'm afraid I cannot help you there. I also play on Gilgamesh, so I cannot help you on Balmung either. Buuuuuuut I do welcome you to the forums! I hope you have a great time here.

Cheers my friend!

Hi Michi! Lovely to meet you. Averill hangs about on Balmung, so if you'd like to hang out when you're comfortable with the game, hit me up.

I had a similar problem on PS3, and I solved it with a USB keyboard. Perhaps it would also work on PS4? It's a small investment, but very much worth it.

I believe it is possible to connect a keyboard to the PS4, but I don't own one so I'm unsure of the specifics. Nevertheless, welcome the RPC! I look forward to seeing yo on Balmung! Feel free to say hello if you see me around

As far as I know, you can plug a USB Keyboard and even a mouse into the console.  Check for USB ports on the console box.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I am kind of stupid when it comes to my PS4 (I am still not exactly sure where to press to turn it on) so letting me know about the keyboard is really helpful!
I will invest in one soon then.

Just always hit the little tiny slim button with the power button ;3 Near the crevice

Ahaha I see I see
Anyways, I ended up rolling two new characters this morning--one on Balmung and one on Gilgamesh.
I'll get a feel for both and see how it goes before making any decisions.  Already have some ideas for characterization though.

A note for Gilgamesh; Let me know your characters name so I can invite you to some RP linkshells, secondly watch the calendar for events. There's at least 3 events a week on Gilgamesh. Because we have a lot of people from Reddit we tend to keep most RP out of major cities, but there is generally some happening in the Drowning Wench.

Or! Contact me in game. I generally play Zachree Rowlaux.

My character's name on Gilgamesh is Zephel Balthae.
Contact in-game will be harder for me until the keyboard I ordered arrives but I hope to start rping really soon ^^

You can totally plug in a USB keyboard and mouse  and still use the controller for gameplay or switch to keyboard and mouse. Just get the cheap ones--no need for anything fancy.

Also...I still have no idea which is the power button and which is the disc button...and I've had it since December! So don't feel bad 

I just touch the PS4 in random places until it turns on.
I can't wait to play more after classes tomorrow!  This game is so much better than the one I played when it first came out all those years ago.
