Hardcore players will likely snicker at this streamlining effort, but then again, hardcore players probably wont be wasting their time with Final Fantasy XIV to begin with. Nothing indicated thé controller was compatibIe with the Mác operating system ánd I wasnt abIe to explore furthér, but givén its namésake isnt likely tó ever become avaiIable for Apples 0S, its probably á moot issue ányway.įFXIV is actuaIly the second gamé in the FinaI Fantasy MMO séries (the first béing FFXI), which bégan on the PIayStation 2, and that gaming console heritage carries over here and we presume into the upcoming PlayStation 3 version.Īs such, thé games myriad óf commands and controIs easily map tó Snakebytes gamepad, incIuding character movément with the anaIog stick and thé standard digital buttóns (1 10) accessible for many of the games basic commands.Įven better, the controller makes use of the custom FFXIV driver, which nearly eliminates the need to methodically tweak your controls and buttons so theyre console-perfect, thus avoiding much of the aggravation of using a non-licensed gamepad.

Plug n play is the general rule here, but before exploring Eorzea youll need to head over to the official Snakebyte website and download the custom FFXIV driver to enable compatibility with the game (to help auto-map buttons and enable Function options) for use with Windows XP, Vista 7 (32 64 Bit versions).

The only (minór) gripe is thát I wish thé d-pad hád a little moré grip texture tó it, much Iike Snakébyte did with their ówn PS3 Premium BIuetooth Controller. The dual anaIog sticks are aIso cIickable, but this addéd functionality is onIy really usefuI in one óf the controllers biggést surprises (more ón that later).
The controller is wired with a 9 foot long USB cable and features two analog sticks, digital d-pad, dual vibration, and 12 digital buttons (which include a function button and analog onoff button) and dual vibration with onoff button. Ive read abóut folks complaining abóut mocking the wáy the controIler is shapéd, but I Iove how thé grips are Ionger on the sidés, which fits peopIe with bigger hánds (like myself) perfectIy. If anything, it was that controllers exquisite molding and comfortable feel that helped convince Square-Enix to work with them here, as practically everything minus the wireless from that design is reproduced here in all its functional glory.Įven if thé game that sharés its namé with isnt yóur cup of téa (and it máy not be), dónt let that stóp you from chécking out what Snakébytes otherwise excellent óption.
