The only difference as far as I know is the PS3 version has that sexy start menu that the PC version currently lacks. Everyone I've talked to says KB/M works just fine, so.... not sure what to tell you. Ask someone on the PS3 beta?
I asked in GAF guild and they said it supports KB/M on the PS3 no problem. I'm not sure why you're having difficulty....
Yes, the PS3 version supports KB/M, no it does not have the ability to switch from the cross hotbar to the kb/m hotbar like the PC version does.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
The fact that everything will be wiped after this weekend is seriously diminishing my desire to play this anymore. It is so good, though. Got Gladiator to level 11, and, so far, the game has exceeded all of my expectations.
It looks fantastic for an MMO, too.

That's kinda weird. Is it possible to keybind the Cross-Hot bar keys to the KB/M?
Stupid jerks didn't send me a PS3 beta key, even though I signed up for both. :\
Not sure, didn't bother playing around with it much as the PC version is quite superior; all I can confirm is the toggle for mouse/ controller mode to switch the hotbars does not exist on PS3 currently.

I think is confused. We don't know yet of this is last weekend, and I'd say is not since other phases never ended so soon.
They're adding vanity slots later.
I think they may also add gear remodeling, too, but maybe you don't need both?
Whenever I select someone, nothing happens.

I really like how organic and the maps feel. While I walk through them I feel like they are the kinds of places I would imagine in a Final Fantasy game. There is a solid feeling to their construction both in man-made and natural aspects.
There is so much atmosphere and detail in the environments that I am able to find enjoyment just looking around at stuff. It really is quite breathtaking at times. I had many fun times in FF XI as a BST just exploring the areas and I think I will be able to do the same here.
I wouldn't think you would need both.
Yeah, I think they were originally going with remodeling, and then caved and gave people vanity slots instead.

Been playing a little on the ps3.. framerate is definitely an issue... Otherwise how does this hold up vs the PC in terms of pure visuals?
I'm torn between ps3 and pc.. or maybe waiting out the inevitable ps4 version

Preorders are active all over the damn place.
And, yes, the PS3 and PC versions share the same accounts, servers, etc. You'll need to buy both clients if you want to play on both, though.
Huh? WoW combat was not a bad thing. One of the inarguable points of WoW is that it had solid combat. I honestly wish they borrowed more of their combat ideas from WoW.
Unless by "WoW combat" you mean typical hotkey-MMO combat... Then probably not, if your expecting some action based combat or otherwise.

I just wish you could shrink the UI a little bit (ps3 version here). Its just a TAD too big for me
They made certain assumptions about people who wanted female characters, and they were probably right for 90% of the population.

ok, as expected my computer cannot run the game. It's like at 3 fps when there are players around.
It's a shame, I really need to upgrade my coffee maker :/ game looks awesome.

PC craps all over the PS3 version in terms of graphics and framerate if your computer is good.
My computer definitely above the minumum requirements by a fair margin but I still get TONS of slowdown and slowdown on PC is far worse than it is on PS3.
You start moving like a snail when you get low fps on PC but on PS3, not much happens other than people disappear and their animations look kinda jerky.
If your PC is higher end, definitely get the PC version.

Went for the PS3 beta and I'm regretting my decision so far lol

I'm playing around with a female roegadyn and the boob physics are just a little too bouncy. It's stupid. Mainly that's not what I want whenever my character so much as runs normally.
I can't wait until I can get out of the RSE. I really hope this isn't any indication of how armor design is going to look in the future. The Dragoon and Bard sets are troubling as it is.

Damn thats a shame... I really was looking forward to playing it on the console over the PC for some reason.
I haven't kept up on it a whole lot, am I to assume the controller hotbar setup isn't available on the PC version? And are there any hopes the PS4 version may rival the PC?

Does loading up your 1.0 character give you anything? Do you get the lvls or anything like that? Or do they jsut give you the skin in beta?

I don't think beta today is really any indication of what server pops will be later. You will be with GAF members that are starting new, so you won't be alone, that's for sure.

Info in the OP!
TAJ
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
So I download the 28MB installer for PS3, enter my existing SE account info, download the 4.whatever gigs of the rest of the game, and then get a "problem with the lobby server" error. Does the game try to connect again? No. I have to repeat the registration process and download the entire fucking game again

I played quite a bit of the PS3 version today, then went back to the PC version. While I don't have an issue with the graphical differences (and I didn't think the frame rate was that bad either), I don't like the close quarters of the PS3 UI.
I had originally planned to buy the PS3 version so I had the option to switch between PC and PS3, but now I think I'll just stick with my PC.
Does anyone know if you can make the UI smaller on the PS3 version? I could move things around, but it didn't seem like there was a way to shrink anything.
So far I'm enjoying the game a lot more than 1.0, but I don't want to play very much because I know I'll just have to do it over again. I'm definitely keeping my 1.0 character, but I'm going to start a new character on Ultros as well since most of my friends will be starting fresh.
Your 1.0 character picks up right where you left off. Your gil is only 10% of what it was though (NPC prices are lowered to compensate).
Nothing carries over until Phase 4 of the beta. Anything you do now will be wiped at the end of Phase 3.

That's it I played enough, lvled a bit and did some dungeons. I wanted to reach until I was able to join GC but its too much work to do once and then again, never got to use my mnk because I had GC weapon. Also did they buff AF like crazy or did a lot of gear like GC suff get nerfed? My monk had gear that was much better than AF but now AF stats much better then gear I had, especially the body.
Ahh, thanks. Guess I'll be jumping back in when 4 starts.
Based on what others have said, I believe next weekend is still phase 3, then there will be roughly a straight week of play after that. So you've got at least two more weeks of phase 3.

HOW do I beat the level 15 boss as an archer?! (the guy with the mask) It's killiinnnggg meee
Ok, gained like 8 levels today, so was a good day.
Still have no idea how the hell professions work. I get that they're their own classes, which is a neat idea, but the first quest I got for one was terrible. It's "get this item off of this npc, but for this item, you'll need to find it on your own". Yeah, thanks, big help chief.
Think at this point I'm better off just figuring out how professions work. Found healing fun, quests are fine, so not much left to figure out.

Kite like crazy, pop an antidote if you get poisoned. When you get it down to 30% a helper will come. The big thing has low hp so be patient and it will go down fast enough.
Level Conjurer to 2 so you can equip Cure.
1. It runs well on PS3 if you're not comparing it to the PC version. If you've never seen the PC version in person, or you ran the PC version at low settings you'll be okay with the PS3 version. If that's not the case, you'll probably find the PS3 version playable, but the PC version is far superior. Personally, my only complaint with the PS3 version is the low resolution that causes a cramped UI. That is what's keeping me on the PC version.
2. Yes. The standard fee is $12.99 per month, but it gets a bit lower if you do a longer sub I believe. (http://www.ffxivinfo.com/service.php)
3. I didn't play much FF12, so I couldn't tell you. Plus, combat will change quite a bit as you get to higher levels. The first 15 or so levels aren't really a good indicator of how combat plays out.
