Same I stopped after 5 min, small text was giving me a headache.

Was able to set the UI up fine, only thing that sucks is the Main Menu text stays small

 

[Jabba]

Does the game run smooth and snappy, for the most part? Really want a PS4 for this and a few others coming up.

 

[Man]

Beta 5.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Anyone tried Remote Play yet?

I'm trying it out right now.

I've already noticed that X and O are working in the JP arrangement, where O selects and X cancels. This appears to have been overlooked, it should be X selects and O cancels outside of Japan.

Text is really really tiny but just barely readable on the OLED.

Playing the local network, there is slightly more lag than playing on the TV but it's nowhere near problematic, especially for an MMO.

The mapping of L2/R2 and L3/R3 to the rear touch pad is going to give me hand cramps. Maybe I should get a set of grips for my Vita.

 

[kittens]

It won't let me into any of the worlds. :-(

 

[Nyteshade517]

I'm on server 5...The game looks great

 

[QisTopTier]

Any word on how the game is handling with mouse and keyboard on PS4 and anything different with the UI and such compared to each version? When I get my ps4 I might start playing on it since my pc is pretty dated and playing the game on low settings is a travesty

 

[RedAssedApe]

oh man this is overwhelming...so much going on with the ui

 

[Yondy604]

Guys, the UI settings can ALL be changed in the menus. You can make fonts bigger, different color, different locations. Both on vita and ps4

 

[Soi-Fong]

Just a few shots I saved from FB share.

 

[Mims]

I forgot how bad the start is in this game. Why haven't they gotten rid of these pointless run arounds for the first few levels.

 

[Arklite]

Managed to get in, the menus feel super unwieldy with the controller initially, but it looks like it works pretty well if you manage to make sense of it. Also....them skirts are damn short.

 

[MilkBeard]

Woohoo, there are tons of people running around in my city. It's pretty funny

 

[SMK]

The input delay isn't that bad on the Vita. It's kinda like playing the ps3 version.

 

[Nokterian]

My opinion: Very, very fun. The game's mechanics get more involved as you progress (Levels 1-30 are very easy, but once you unlock the upgrade to a Job, things start ramping up.) and new complexities are introduced. As long as you don't just spam FATEs to level up, you should have a pretty good grasp on things by the time you get to 50.

That sounds cool..i am not really in to final fantasy so a mmo could do just the thing.

There's a definite learning curve with playing on a gamepad, but once you understand how it works, it'll become second nature to you. A keyboard might come in handy for the quick shortcuts, though (I'd recommend people get one anyways for chatting.)

Where can you change the dialogs box font size?

For me L2/R2 are the Vita shoulder buttons and have to tap the touch pad on the upper left to auto run for L1. Definitely will probably only craft with it or check the market. At least the feature is there but doubt I'll get hardcore use of it

 

[Marceles]

Character Configuration > Log Window Settings > Font Size

Yeah it was really weird at first and that was the first thing I changed.

One thing remote play needs is the ability to map r2 and l2 to the corners of the front touchscreen like the psp emulator.

 

[AmyS]

I have no clue what I am doing. This is my first-ever MMORPG (what a way to begin right?)

All i can say is the graphics are amazing on PS4, very smooth too (60fps in this first area, not many NPCs / players)

 

[RedAssedApe]

how's the framerate?

feels smooth enough. moments where you can tell its hitting 60fps but probably around 30 most of the time?

 

[kittens]

I got into a world! But I can't remember which, lol.

How do I get rid of the message prompt in the middle of the screen here?

 

[Revolutionary]

Have to admit I'm kinda disappointed about the framerate. Thought they would be able to hit 60 on PS4.

Edit: @ above post, press the pad button like it says on the prompt.

How do you change it ? It's wigging me out.

Took some screenshots:

Also took a screenshot of the startup screen artwork:

 

[DarknessTear]

Press select, then x. Then exit out of it.

 

[mattiewheels]

Character Configuration > Log Window Settings > Font Size

So the dialog boxes are still the only aspect of the game that you can't resize, then. I can only hope that since everyone is playing this is on a TV that they'll get enough complaints to change this. Ridiculous that it's still not an option.

 

[Synless]

I think you hit square until it's highlighted, then hit circle to cancel it out. It's been a while since I played the console version so I may be wrong.

Edit* it's select first as the poster mentioned above, not square.

 

[SMK]

How do you change it ? It's wigging me out.

It's under system configurations, controller settings, then go to button configuration.

 

[thatsafakewebsitebro]

How did y'all even get in? I can't get passed the enter your SquareEnix ID screen. Everything I try gives me an "invalid password" message. And when I try to log in with a new id it says to wait for a confirmation code via email, but that code never showed up.
Can anyone help??

 

[nbnt]

Is there a way to hide the log window?

 

[MilkBeard]

Ha ha, there are like five people doing the same quest as me, trying to make this girl laugh. We are all running back and forth.

 

[cormack12]

First FF game - do I need to join anything GAF related when I start in a couple of hours and if so, how?

If you create a new Square Enix ID it'll ask you to enter a confirmation code that's sent to the email supplied.

I received the code within seconds.

I realise that's not much help but it might be that a lot of people are now trying to register.

I wish that were the case with me. I tried that twice and I still haven't received anything. Yet when I went to reset my password, the confirmation email was sent instantly.

Didn't work. I think it might be glitched. Now I have a new message in the same spot tho...?

 

[pillowtalk]

How do I remap my pet hotbar onto my controller...

edit: this is impossible
edit 2: this is hilariously confusing but i think i got it.

 

[Revolutionary]

Pad button, as it says on the prompt. Press it in.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Wow, this looks a lot better than I thought it would...looking forward to playing this tomorrow.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Clicking the touchpad should allow you to select it.

 

[mattiewheels]

I see a player who's a little Vivi...how'd they do that?

It's a minion from the Veteran Rewards, you get rewards at certain intervals depending on how long you subscribe for.

Odd...mine was the opposite by default. X is select and O is cancel for me.

I just watched a twitch stream of someone playing the PS4 version. The size of the world and the number of actors is impressive, however he was playing on his own accepting and doing quests and leveling up. In other FF you normally play as a group with different abilities, is it possible to do that in this game, i.e team coop and quests etc ?

Watching him play it looked a very solitary experience..

 

[Yoday]

For anyone that plans on playing this and needs a keyboard I would recommend the Amazon Basics one. I just picked it up this week and it works perfectly. It's just the right size, it's sturdy, the keys feel nice for the style, and it syncs up with the PS4 absolutely flawlessly.

The start of the game until level 15 you aren't required to group up.

The only reason to party is FATEs when it comes to being out in the world. Aside from that, you spend most of your time in dungeons when it comes to partying, and honestly that's the most fun part of the game. Dungeons are where this game truly shines. That and primal fights which are a separate entity.
