What system do you play or plan on playing FFXI on?

[PhiberOpticks]

Another attempt to know you all.

I was a PC player. But I plan on going to Xbox 360 in a while. Especially because of the QWERTY keyboard that's being developed that slides right into the jack between the handles of the controller.

I would hate to leave my 360 that long for FFXI. Everytime I play 360, even for less than an hour, it warms my room up like a good lil' heater...

PC only.

PC since I started playing, and never want to use PS2. :x

PC.

If I had a 360, I might dual box that way. Maybe. But not with some tiny slide-out keyboard. That doesn't sound fun at all.

I would send you a picture of the keyboard, but I don't have the privileges yet. It's a great keyboard. It's not a slideout, though. It's just a peripheral you plug into your controller in that headset slot. The picture of it is small, and although I have big hands, I'm sure I could get used to it. As long as it's QWERTY, I won't be too upset. At least it's better than juggling two separate controllers.

I play on PC. Would've played on PS2 but couldn't justify the costs of the HDD and network adapter.

I play on the 360 and PC. The 360 is more ergonomical for me because of the long wireless range I can sit on a chair/couch and play in greater confort than my desk chair.

I too am looking forward to the qwerty thumbboard add-on

The keys are back-lit too, so I can also play in the dark. (my usb keyboard is also back-lit, but it's wired and thus has limited range.)

Re: What system do you play or plan on playing FFXI on?

Yeah, that's the one I'm taking about. It looks great. But I wish they would hurry up and release it. It can't be that hard to make. By the way, how are the controls for the 360 version?

Also, the wireless part is great for me. I've got this 36 inch HDTV and my chair is set back about 10 or 11 feet.

Kind of interesting, but I can't imagine that keyboard would be very comfortable to use. Still, you never know. I'm so used to my desktop keyboard, that anything not like that seems unusual.

Re: What system do you play or plan on playing FFXI on?

I started on PS2, then had to move to PC when my 2 year old consecutively busted by PS2 and my POL install disc for it. Can't get new CDs without buying a new PS2 HDD, which is the one part I have that works fine, so I just spent the 20 bucks for the Vana'diel collection for my then 5 year old PC.

Now I've got a pretty nice current PC that can run the game at 1680x1050 with full settings and I don't think I could go back to a console anymore. ^^

Re: What system do you play or plan on playing FFXI on?

... that's an interesting looking controller/keyboard combo...

But I think I'll just plug a usb keyboard if I ever play FFXI on 360 : /

Re: What system do you play or plan on playing FFXI on?

I am currently on 360, and I use a USB keyboard for controlling it. I may change that once the keyboard attachment is released.

Re: What system do you play or plan on playing FFXI on?

I have all three platforms, but no install disc for FFXI on the 360.

I use a USB keyboard on my playstation, but avoid that platform because of the inability to turn off weather effects. And the fact that my TV crops an inch off the edges of the image...which isn't that bad until you try to read the maps. Or dodge aggro. Or find someone/something in a zone.

When vegging out on FFXI, I am usually found on the porch with my laptop reclining in a lounge chair.

Re: What system do you play or plan on playing FFXI on?

I have the game installed on all three platforms. I started on PS2, then switched to the 360. Then, my 360 broke three times in three months, so I bought the PC version to tide me over til it was fixed.

The 360 is where I spend most of my FFXI time, but I'll use the PC (now that I have the 360 wireless game pad adapter XD ) if my husband is playing something on the console. The game is still installed on the PS2, but I haven't logged on from it in a few months.

I use a USB keyboad when playing on 360. That attachment looks really cool, but it seems a little small for comfortable typing.
