Final Fantasy XIV receives a mod to turn it into a VR game
The community has done it again, the modders Marulu -XIVR Dev- Project Mimer and Streetrat have developed a mod to make compatible Final Fantasy XIV with VR, offering an experience 6DOF.
These modders have a certain reputation from before, and they were responsible for the acclaimed «Half Life 2 VR Mod»
This mod is totally free and open source, and you can find it in the FFXIVLauncher, platform where they have published their work and download links.
Among what this mod allows, we have Full 6DOF and first and third person camera support, so that we can choose how we want to enjoy this new experience that from now on will be much more immersive.
For now there is no compatibility with tracking controls so you will have to play using your own keyboard/mouse or console controller, but in the future it is expected that they will update the mod to also support VR headset controls.
Where can I get the mod?
The mod is available for download through the mod launcher XIVLauncher, if you don't have it yet and want to download it you can do it through this link.
If you don't know XIVLauncher, let's make a brief explanation.
XIVLauncher It is a launcher for the video game FF XIV, and offers a multitude of mods, improvements and extra content that we can download and install very easily in our game. It is for this reason that modders Marulu -XIVR Dev- Project Mimer & Streetrat They have decided to include their mod in the launcher instead of releasing it separately, a good idea, since more people will be able to download and install the mod without having problems.
This is not the only mod
Today the community of PCVR It is proving to be one of the best time and time again, and there are several groups and individuals with more and more recognition thanks to the incredible mods they are developing. Let's see more examples.
Praydog's Universal VR Injector – Allows you to use 6DOF (VR) in all UE4 games
Resident Evil VR MOD by Praydog – Allows you to use 6DOF (VR) with Hand Tracking
Why the VR community and not the developers themselves?
Seeing what the community is capable of with mods to transform games "Flat Screen" either Flat screen that we all know, VR games with 6DOF and some of them even with controller tracking, we have to reconsider whether this work could not have been done by the developer himself in much less time and with more ease.
