Final Fantasy XIV to Support Remote Play on PlayStation 4

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will support remote play on PlayStation 4.

Game director Naoki Yoshida made the announcement to Famitsu (via Kotaku), suggesting it would be ideal for when you can't play with others and just want to relax and level through gathering or crafting.

Yoshida still thinks you'll want to experience the more exciting social aspects of the game like raids and dungeons on a bigger screen though, explaining, "But like, when you're all, 'let's form a party and go to a dungeon!,' then you go sit in front of your monitor and enjoy playing that on a big screen. In that regard, you can choose your play style.

"Depending on whether you feel like playing at a certain time or on a certain day, you can select between relaxing play or giving it your all. I think expanding those options is itself something new."

Originally announced at the PlayStation 4 reveal event back in February, Sony told IGN that remote play functionality would be available day one. Whether this is still the case remains to be seen.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will be available on PlayStation 4 next year.
