As long as you have the software that allows you to use controllers on your pc yes. I use my normal playstation 3 six axis controller to play ffxiv. works fine *though in the software i use to enable controller use I have to say its a xbox 360 controller or else ***gets messed up*

Also in the character or maybe system configuration you will have to switch the buttons to show ps3 buttons instead of xbox. or else your hotkeys will have the xbox XBAY or whatever.

I have a question. all dungeon raids are locked in the sense that you always have to have a balanced party 1 tank, 2 DD (I hate saying dps)and 1 healer. or something like that right? my question is as arn it put me as a DD. What about smn and sch? I assume smn is DD but sch looks like a healer to me. Is it classified as such?

Ah ty. Was just wondering because I assume if they introduce drk it will be with an already established class such as gld or mrd. which both seem to be classified as tanks. Was kinda worried drk would be a tank instead of a DD.

If you let the Duty Finder build your group, it will always be one tank, two DD, and one healer. If you build your own and enter, you can pick any four people and try that way. In Phase 3, I did a Sastasha run with two tanks, a healer, and me on PGL.

Is PLD useful? I'm stuck in a FFXI mentality where it had very little use. Is that the case for 14?

Basically it's grouped like so for dungeons:
Tank:
- Gladiator/Paladin

Damage dealer:
- Marauder/Warrior
- Pugilist/Monk
- Lancer/Dragoon
- Archer/Bard
- Arcanist/Summoner
- Thaumaturge/Black Mage

Healer:
- Conjurer/White Mage
- Scholar

According to SE, they consider this balanced, and it really does emphasize the "holy trinity" of MMORPGs-- tank, healer, damage dealer. So, yes, Paladin is not only useful but pretty much required. Unlike in FFXI where Paladin tends to be used in very, very few situations as of late such as pulling a Delve boss, sacking or holding Delve NMs, or tanking a Wildskeeper Reive NM, Paladin in FFXIV is pretty much required in practically all the dungeon runs. And, in similar fashion, Gladiator pre-level 30.

In one of the latest interviews with Yoshi-P, it was mentioned that if they added another job like Thief or Ninja, it would have to be where situations would require such a job. Not only that, it would require re-balancing everything, and a lot of work since job storyline and job guild quests have to be added.

Where would a Ninja or Thief fall under in that "holy trinity" above? Ninja and Thief are damage dealers?

Hopefully that answers your question. (Also, Scholar is a pretty kick-*** healer.)

MRD/WAR is considered tank.

Quick question. I was told by SE prior to buying FFXIV that it was a one-time purchase. I bought it for PS3 (pre-ordered through gamestop) because I didn't have a PC capable of running it well with the idea that when I did or got a PS4 I could play on either of those.

I now have a decent PC but Mog Station is telling me I need to purchase the PC version in order to play on PC. It's Saturday, so I can't get ahold of SE on the phone and they're taking a long time to respond via Email.

Any thoughts?

SE is correct,they just worded it poorly.

Unlike XI where you could get a code for any ONE platform,and use it to play on all THREE,for XIV you need specific codes for specific platforms. Buy a PC copy,you can only use it on pc. Same applies for ps3 copies. If you buy both however,they can both be added to the same account,and you can use account (and all characters on said account) on both platforms.

I actually asked specifically if I would have to purchase it again in order to play on PC or PS4 and they said I would not. I'm guessing I got hosed by a summer intern. >.>

Oh,right,PS4. I'd assume it's the same as the ps3 issue I listed. Makes sense really to assume that,not that the whole system makes sense at all =\

pretty sure pc does not need a code, but i ps3/ps4 version requires a code to be tied to your PSN account.

so if you buy it on ps3 you can just DL a pc copy via torrent and play on both.

but you cannot just borrow someones ps3 disc and play the game on yours. I'm pretty sure this is how it works.

so when the ps4 version comes out, in order to play it you will have to purchase it. (i can see that thing selling like hotcakes already, first ps4 game to be priced at 39.99$ >.>;)

I have it active on PS3, I just downloaded the client for PC but even after logging in with my SE account, it asks for a registration code, so I went to mog station to see if I needed to enable something. It shows that I can add PC access to my account, but also asks for a registration code. Still waiting on a response via email.

Edit: account system is down for maintenance, but there is an actual line that says to purchase the PC version... Seriously...
