enjoy :)

Looking good on PS4 :D

Do we know yet if its gonna run in 1080 @ 60 fps on PS4 yet? I'm buying a PS4 just for this in April, but I'm just curious if final specs have been revealed.

Naoki Yoshida confirmed that more important in show as many players as possible so the game will run at 30 FPS but 1080p with a limit to show up to 200 players at once

but the game will also exceed 30 FPS if some conditions are met ( i guess only 60 FPS possible in instances only but not outside world )

over 1.8 million adventurer's worldwide? wut?

like charakters?
or people ever registered since beta?
or counting also FFXI?

that would be like 30000 people / server. erm, no.

nice trailer tho.

Touchpad, mouse/keyboard and remote play wonder what these.... nevermind can't wait.

Last I saw the stats (just after server transfers opened) it WAS about 30k a server.

hahaha ps4 features = a bunch of gimmicks. where are the graphical differences you promised i.e wet characters

characters are 6.71 million

1.8 are active accounts

SE stated itself - ~650K subs after subscription kicked in... obviously there are less ppl now... SE counting stuff same as EA in KOTOR..? Adding ghost players... temporary activating inactive accounts... so everything would look better to investors?

lol, it not official. On other hand 600 - 700k subscriptions in 2013.11 are real numbers(according to SE atleast) and well known.

Then there would be no point in upgrading to the PS4 version. And i don't think the PS3 can handle it. Since the PS3 has never been compared to a PC when it comes to graphics like the PS4 has been by lot of PC Devs.
But that video is on Youtube so hopefully it will look better than that on the PS4 be interesting when i try out the better.

More Important..... Is that a new highlander Dance in the Trailer?

In a previous live letter, they stated that they plan to store the config file (character sets, skill sets, UI settings, macros etc.) on their servers instead of local config files like we have them now on PS3 and PC. Any news if this change will make it live before we are able to switch to the PS4 version? If not, a lot and I mean really a lot of players will have to setup everything from scratch and I hope this can be avoided. I for once have almost a dozen of characters and a boat load of macros and wouldn't look forward to do everything again. So i really hope SE makes this change in time.

No, it's coming with 2.16

Greetings,

If you really dig the weather effects, you'll be interested in what's coming in patch 2.16!

In the recent Letter from the Producer LIVE, you may have seen mention that in 2.16 we'll be making a few visual tweaks to how your character reacts to the weather - namely that your character will now appear visibly wet in a rainy area. Well, in patch 2.16 we'll also be making it so when your character is in cold areas, you will be able to see your character's breath when they exhale.

sorry for hijack but... are mouses like Razer Naga working on the PS4 version?
thx

I just wanna get wet.

just use a portable drive to copy the files over. I do this all the time with saved files when i use my friends PS3 at his house. I bring my save files over.

^^ not sure if the file format for PS3 and PS4 config files is different. My hope is that they store this kind of information server side - and in time before the PS4 version goes live.

That's not going to help with the platform jump. The two systems use different save file formats.

However, the upgrade process carries over all character data so your settings should be maintained: http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/ps4/ps3_users/ states as much.

If you are planning to purchase the new version so you can play on both PS3 and PS4, which some people might be, I'm not sure if you will be able to keep your data unless it is stored server-side or a cross-platform settings backup is implemented.

I honestly hope SE learns from the problems some 1.0 people were having when moving their characters over to 2.0

That's the good part thing about ARR. There are no investors. It's all SE's money funding this game. No investors to please, only the players :D

Think you miss understand that statement by SE, the basically stated that FFXIV broke the 650k accounts that FFXI held not that it's at 650k.

and lets forget that SE itself do have investors and need to show good results to them... Good/bad results or even rumours effect their stock prices too.

actually broke 600K, not 650K... 600-700k were estimates by 3rd parties, so often just ~650K used. And if you want imply that subs numbers can be much higher... it's very unlikely, otherwise SE would be boasting about it, it would be mentioned in their latest financial report and servers would be full like after launch/first month.

your game needs more wet characters. make it happen se

I am always wet.

The PS4 version graphics look like they are in-between PS3 and PC and it's only running at 30fps.... im kind of disappointed by this, i was expecting more of the PS4's hardware. Seeing some of the upcoming PS4 games i could have sweared that it was way more capable than my desktop which runs ARR on Max right now... guess i was wrong or the dev team did a poor porting job.

someone is horny. ;)

Thank you.

I play on PC... but dang. That Vita functionality. I might be picking this up on PS4 as well and switching between
the two. That is too awesome.

That means it would be perfect for the Wii U. But i'm afraid that the Wii U's lack of power and memory might make that impossible.

If we participate in the Beta phase 1 are we locked out of our current character?

Ps4 will have it own servers for phase 1 test.

Bare in mind its still in develoment phase when complaining about the graphics, remember how dull and un-fleshed out the PS3 build was in Beta 3?
I mean zones looked kinda bare and the textures in places werent great, then P4 client arrived and wow first thing I noticed on stepping out the Quicksand and Ul'Dah was how much better the zones and scenery looked.
My point been Square might have a nice big reveal graphically closer to launch, you know once they know the games engin and mechanics actually works properly lol.
