I've never had data corruption on my PS4, even though I rarely ever shut it down(usually only when there is a major update, then I shut it down - otherwise sleep mode). I don't even close FFXIV unless I'm going to play some other game. We've had power outages, but even then with my PS4 in sleep mode, and being "incorrectly shut down", no corruption.
I had it happen to me on my PS4 about two weeks ago. It was a pain, but I reinstalled it after about 5 hours. That said, I have no idea how the files became corrupted, as I'm always careful to close all applications from their main menus before shutting the PS4 down. I've had save file corruption issues with auto-saving games in the past, so returning to the main menu's become second nature, even on games with manual saving.
i am careful with shuttting the game off too, but it happens anyway.
because i was using an 4 years old SSD harddrive in my PS4, the technical support here on the board said it could be possible that this was causing the problem, that the SSD wasn't working correctly anymore. so i exchanged the harddrive with a new HDD, reinstalled the whole system software and everything new. it worked for a few weeks, but then the error occured 2 times within 7 days. so i put my old SSD back in because the loading times are soo bad without it xD had the error again 2 times within the last week...
i found this topic: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...problem-return
that's from april, around the same time when it started that my data got corrupted every few days...
