I want to play this content. Unfortunately, I'm waiting until it launches for PS4. I'd rather play it on a system designed for controller use. I just don't enjoy it on keyboard/mouse.
You do know you can still use a PS3 controller (or Xbox 360, I believe) on PC, right? Without emulation, even, I believe. (Anyone feel free to correct me there if needed. The in-game menus seem to suggest so.) Granted, you'll need a decent-size USB cable (Amazon's got some extensions for pretty cheap; just attach to the default charge cable) unless your PC's got a Bluetooth card built into it to enable wireless connectivity. (Wireless
might require emulation... Haven't used it, myself, so I'm not sure.)
You just switch the control scheme from mouse/keyboard to gamepad and the entire control scheme is automatically switched over to the same (with possibly a few minor changes) as the PS3 version. (Cross hotbars included.) It's how I've been playing the whole time, and it works fine.
Also, while I assume they'll fix it in due time, I've heard there are some font issues in the PS4 version. Waaaaay too small.
I checked out some of the new stuff, though. A lot of it isn't really available to me yet, since I'm only level 38 or so, but a lot of the content seems pretty nice, and seems to add considerably more value to the game.
One particular new feature that I'm rather fascinated with is the Retainer Venture system. (Reminiscent of sending your friends on hunting/gathering missions in their spare time in the Mana Khemia games, for me.) Definitely nice to be able to gear up your retainer and have them do more than just hold/sell stuff for you now -- especially when these new activities involve gathering materials. For disciples of land/hand, this seems like something that could be
greatly helpful.
I'm also always in favor of anything related to aesthetic customizations. While I'm disappointed that I can't access Glamors until lv50, I think it seems like a pretty spiffy feature. More hairstyles is nice (including Lightning and Snow, it would seem), although honestly, I still feel that the selections are somewhat lacking. But maybe that's just me. ^^;
The new Challenge Log system seems like a pretty cool way to expand upon EXP/Gil sources that are readily available (albeit limited to a timeframe before they refresh). Every bit helps.
Would most certainly love to see more big updates like this in the future. Some of this stuff seems to have come just in time to re-spark my interest in playing.
