Been impressed with the open beta on PC. Seriously considering of preordering the game now.
If i buy the game on PS3, can I also play my account on PC?

Ahh, thats a little disappointing.

PC
+ cheaper at RM99
+ having the mouse make it soooo much easier to navigate
+ better graphics and higher resolution
+ faster and more efficient dung raid?
+ tested using PS3 controller using motioninjoy and it works great! (just make sure u set it up to emulate xbox360 controller)
+ can use my lappy to play when i go back to hometown
- too lazy to turn on PC these days.
- i have a cheap AMD system, very noisy
- already getting tired of PC MMORPG such as RO2 and WOW

PS3
+ so easy to turn on and get playing!
+ wireless controller and stuff!!
+ wireless headsets and stuff!!
+ stable frame rates!
+ silence
+ fresh, new experience playing MMORPG on a console
- more expensive at RM119
- cant get my ffxiv fix when other ppl are using my tv/ps3

Anything I missed out?
Anyways, so far im leaning towards getting PS3 ver since I think it would be more relaxing playing while lying down in front of my 50" plasma tongue.gif

Edit: Btw, if my friends will be playing on PC, can I communicate with them via my PS3 wireless headset while partying? Is headset even supported? How does it work?

Alright..
One more question, if my friends don't have credit card or debit card, will there be time card sellers easily available later?

Thanks guys for the info smile.gif

Just confirmed with HeavyArm that preordering won't get us early access as its only for Western Country or Digital sad.gif

How does digital pre ordering works for PS3 version? Will I at least be able to download the client early as I have 1mbps screamyx? Will the PS3 client for open beta compatible (with patch) for launch?

Sorry, too many questions tongue.gif
But guess I won't mind to wait for the disc on 27th.

^ im interested to know that as well

so anybody actually tried the PS3 version? Is there any major limitation or glitch compared to PC ver? hows the graphics & frame rate?

its good that we can adjust the GUI size as I read its one of the most complained problem in the ps3 version.

So far, im loving the gamepad control over keyboard and mouse even though im playing on PC.

Guys, need help.. I know its advisable to get EU region, but as i'm buying PS3 version its really troublesome for me.

1. Easiest way is to get the EU boxed set from local sellers, but it doesn't come with pre-order bonuses, I want those sad.gif
2. Buying digitally from EU PSN store is one option, but its really hard to get EU PSN Prepaid Cards sad.gif
3. I have PS Plus on my US account, so would be good if the patch can be downloaded automatically if I buy the game in US region.. plus I do have some account balance left on the account

My SquareEnix account for open beta is US region, seems like can register credit card payment option there.. will I be able to use Malaysian Credit Card to pay subscription fees (if I dont mind the slight difference in price)?.

Thanks in advance.
