Hello there, I am extremely interested in joining the RP community of FFXIV, but first I have to get the game, lol.
To introduce myself, I have been roleplaying in MMOs since EQ1, and though I've taken a break due to my jadedness at the MMO genre, FFXIV looks amazing and I think it is finally a game I could return to and truly immerse myself in.
Couple of things, and maybe you guys can help me figure it out.
My PC sucks now. It hasn't been upgraded since Age of Conan, so I seriously doubt I could run this on my PC at any decent level.
However, I do have a Playstation 3. Is it viable that I would be able to play and roleplay on my PS3? Anyone here playing on their PS3?
I've never played an MMO on my PS3 before, so maybe you guys could help me with something. If I plug my keyboard into my PS3, would that suffice as my means of communications with other players or am I restricted only to headset or something, which in that case, roleplay is out lol.
Also, can anyone vouch for how well it runs on PS3? I am using one of the old fat PS3's, the ones that are backwards compatible with PS2 games. Is the performance THAT bad? I can deal with some lag here and there, but if it's beyond belief, then I wouldn't wanna waste my time getting excited any further.
Long story short, I am a roleplayer who wants to RP on FFXIV. I am restricted to playing on my PS3. Is that a problem?
And by the way, hearing about all the login issues, has that mostly been fixed now? And is there still room to join the RP servers? If so, which one should I join?
I apologize for the mess of a message here, lol. Been out of the scene for a while. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
