Questions about PS4 version ?

Hello everyone ^ω^ I was thinking about getting a PS4 and FFXIV on the PS4, would you guys recommend it ?

I was wondering about the ability of using a keyboard and mouse on the PS4 version when using it does the game run the same way the PC version works (with menus/interface)

On the PS4 version how are the graphics are they the same as one high setting on PC or a bit lower? if there is lag is it bad. How well does the game run and feel on the PS4 ?

Thank you for reading my post and I hope you have a great day. Happy gaming.

You can set the PS3 version to run the same way as a PC, so the Keyboard and mouse are possible. I'll continue to use a controller though since it feels more comfortable for me.

It depends on what PCs you've got access to. The PS3 is pretty frustrating in terms of performance and despite what was said before, you CANNOT play the game with a keyboard and mouse in the same way you do on the PC. However, it has been said that you can on the PS4 version.

The PS4 version runs better than the PS3, and the resolution improvement is a good step forward as well with full 1080 rather than 720. Loading times also seem to be significantly improved as well, though they aren't up to a good PC's standards as far as detail and speed.

If this link works.. its a comparison of the graphics of ps3/ps4/pc

I do not have intention of make sad the ps4 users or start a War.

A medium range pc will beat the ps4 version for a LOT, not even close.

The ps4 version is a big upgrade of ps3 version but a great downgrade if you have a pc similar to this

intel i5 3.3 ghz
Radeon 7850/ Nvidia GTX660
8 gb ram
SSD disk

This pcs can run the game between 45 - 90 FPS with sweet fx and x4 AA.

You can lock also 30 FPS on this rigs for add 8x AA and a lot of more effects via Sweet FX.

The effects SweetFX can provide are awesome and the ps4 ver will look outdated compared with this.

if you have decent rig, avoid ps4 ver and download sweet FX program.

Thank you for your answers on the graphics side of the game, how well does the game run on the controls side of the game, does the PS4/PS3 control work, since it's an mmo, or are you better of plugging the keyboard and mouse up to the PS4 to play the game ?

I personally like the controller a lot. It feels easier with movement. The only thing i sometimes have problems with is im a little bit slower targetting than with a mouse. Also, on the controller you have to cycle through your skill bars, which you dont have to do using a keyboard. If you get good at it though it doesn't make much of a difference.

I play with a controller and keyboard on PS3 and intend to continue that approach on PS4.

The interface is certainly different between the two versions (I have both, prefer PS3) - so there will be a learning curve where you will be below your regular skill level for a week or 2 if you switch. I really prefer the controller as I feel like I can move more responsively and I feel like I'm actually playing the game instead of simulating an experience via keyboard/mouse. That is very subjective though, I would expect, lol.

Maybe if your tv settings are not right. PS4 blows my pc away as far as detail goes. And to answer OP's question, you can totally use a keyboard and mouse to play it just as you would a PC. You can get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse or wireless one as well.

Visit: http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/02/...entical-twins/ for a side-by-side screenshot comparison of PS4 and Max PC screenshots taken at the exact same place, angle, and time in the day/night cycle.

The people who are claiming that the PS4 is only comparable to a mid-range PC likely need to adjust their TV settings (I was playing with a 1080p 120hz LED TV and my game was looking comparable to the PS4 screenshots in that URL). There is a subtle difference between Max PC vs. PS4, but it's not something I'd notice without it being pointed out to me. They're virtually equivalent graphics-wise so go with whichever version is most comfortable for you to play.

I've played PC (maximum settings), PS3 and PS4 versions.

Graphically, I see almost no difference between the PC and PS4 versions. In fact, some things are done better on the PS4 (ambient occlusion, for example). Also, the surround sound effect is much more immersive in the PS4 version, and sounds in general sound clearer to me on the PS4.

The load times between areas are longer on the PS4 (not as bad as the PS3, though). I attribute this more to my PC using a SSD. I plan on upgrading the drive in my PS4 to SSD, so this may take care of that. I also notice a bit more loss of framerate in populated areas on the PS4 compared to my PC, but it isn't much. I don't recall ever seeing the framerate on the PS4 drop below 24 fps or so.

My only real gripes about the PS4 version was the touchpad isn't all that responsive, but that isn't used much so it isn't a big deal. The beta's active help windows didn't make it apparent that the touchpad is actually three buttons in one, so that was a couple minutes of confusion when I tried to cycle through UI elements the first time. Remote play on the Vita is cool, but I feel like the game needs a modified UI for remote play, and I don't see that happening any time soon if ever.

Non-game related, but I hate Facebook, and I hate hate hate that your only options for sharing screenshots on PSN is through Facebook or Twitter. PSN needs Google+ and YouTube support!

Expect your first commission check in the mail within 4 weeks. You just sold a PS4.

I must say... those are pretty bad PC pictures...

Yes PS4 will have full mouse and keyboard support so you should be able to keybind like you would on a PC.
Graphically based on the beta it looked beautiful on the PS4 and also the movements seemed rather smooth. I cannot wait to be on PS4

Sweet. When you fill out the survey make sure you say you heard about their product from Sacred-Oblivion on the FF14 forums or else I won't get it.

They look beautiful to me, especially the ifrit and watermill pic. Regardless, if you don't think those are Max PC pics then take one yourself in the exact same angle, place, time in day/night cycle, and weather conditions so that we can compare them. Claims are empty unless there's evidence to support them I'm afraid.

Right now I play on PC and I will be switching to PS4. I use the 360 controller and Keyboard on my PC and I will be doing the same on PS4. Healing wise its 100 times faster (to me) to heal with the controller then heal with the KB and mouse. As far as loading goes I don't really notice any difference between my PC and PS4. Graphics wise I think my PC looks better.

A have a question about logging into the game with my of character, when I buy the game and then put the disk into the ps4 doi then just log in with my square enix account and my PC character will be there.

Also you get 30 free when you get the ps4 copy can you still use the 30 if you are useing a PC character ?


I would like to also thank you for answering my questions before this one thanks for the help.

If it's any help dude, I've literally just gone out to buy a PS4 for the sole purpose of playing Final. I'm PC currently but will be porting (with mouse and keyboard) as soon as it launches.

With that ^ you just log onto your Squeenix account via the web and add the licence key to your account. Then you can sign in on your PS4 as you would expect to, and your handsome self will be in waiting.

Thank you for answering so quickly ^ω^ Do you also still get the 30 days still.

Also can you log onto the PC version and the ps4 version at the same time ? Or can you only long into one at a time.

Hi, yeah - anytime you add a licence to your account you get +30 days play. Only able to log onto one machine at a time though I'm afraid.
