I still found the default size of the text to be much too small and would often get off of my couch and walk closer to the screen on occasion before I decided to put the time in and customize it to my liking. The user interface, which tended to overwhelm even the largest TV screen on the PS3, has received a much needed revamp and no longer gets in your way. The game now runs at 1080p, and on a large television it can look quite beautiful.
Previous problems like a limited draw distance and large amounts of player “pop-up” on the screen when in a large town have been alleviated. If you’ve only played the PS3 version of the game, the graphics on PS4 will delight you. I personally feel it’s one of the stronger stories Square Enix has put together in an RPG in quite some time, although I should note that it doesn’t really take off until your character is in the mid 30s. The main storyline is just as good as ever on the PS4. The ability to play a massive MMO the size of Final Fantasy 14 on a handheld is an impressive technological feat if nothing else.
Battling through a complex fight might be a little difficult with the limited control options, but the Vita looks perfect for checking the Auction House and working on your crafting. To be clear, this reviewer does not own a Vita but I should still note that everything I’ve seen elsewhere on this feature is that it’s an overall positive addition to the game. The other big feature for the PS4 version of the title is support for Remote Play on Playstation Vita. Maybe my keyboard skills just aren’t as adept as they should be, but the ability to move my character out of harm’s way with a simple flick of my thumb on the PS4 controller has saved my hide more times than I can count in the last week. The keyboard/mouse versus controller debate is a matter of personal preference, but I personally felt that the analog stick is quite useful at times. The PS4’s touchpad can be used as a mouse to navigate with greater ease through the game’s many menu options. The game now supports the use of keyboard and mouse on the PS4 and those who are used to using the controller on the PS3 now have additional options as well. If you haven’t yet purchased a PS4, this title may not be worth the $400 investment by itself, but if you’ve already moved on to the next generation, this upgrade is a no brainer.
The only caveat is that doing so will remove your license for the game on PS3. All players who own the PS3 version of Final Fantasy 14 can automatically upgrade and download the title on PS4 for free. PS3 players with a PS4 wondering if they should upgrade to the new version have already had that decision made for them by Square Enix.
