PS4 PRO and FFXIV Graphics and Framerate Patch

[ChocoFeru]

Maybe not now, but SE will have to adapt 4.0 to PS4 Pro since it will be a norm since October.

Since we have PS3, PS4, Mac and PC versions, I don't see why the Pro version shouldn't be better than PS4.

I guess Pro version will be more FPS stable when patched, and maybe it'll have HDR. We just don't know yet!

Wait til October 10 for comparisons!

Every ps4 will support HDR through a patch very soon.

I think it will be just a config option in the PS4 version, like the option with standard graphic or better graphic we have already in the PS4 version.

No special version for Pro (because every game have to work on both PS4), but same config options for both PS4 with the specific Pro options tagged as "recommended for PS4 Pro"

This should help, PS4 Pro wont increase your FPS starts at 5:40. Not sure If FF14 will limit the FPS too.

Nope, sorry, you're not quite right. Developers can choose whether or not to lock framerates. In games where framerates matter for competitive online play, there might, stress might, be an argument to be made for locking framerates, but that is not so in games like ffxiv since we already have framerate differences between high end and low end PCs and between PC and PS4, and between everything else and PS3.

In the end though, I think you will see many more games able to take advantage and push more fps than you think.

seen what the PS4 pro really can.. and it really does look better (noticable, and dont mean UHD)...

and better framerates (as well as DX11??) would be nice... , but before that, SE should finally give us PS4 users a "personal dps parser" (maybe more dobale on a PS4 Pro??)

even if PS4 can do HDR, the framerate wont be the same as PS4 pro

Parser is no more doable on PS4Pro than on PS4. That's not the issue though, the issue is decisions made by the development team that are informed by a broad range of player experience and opinion - which has been explained in many interviews.

I'm a bit confused by the requests for parsers when it's very obvious that it would be abused. Or, more accurately, used to abuse other players that don't meet some imaginary threshold of numbers.

There are already quite a few tools ingame to help maximize rotations, and good Lord everyone has bad days.

SE would be better giving hall of the novice an expansion than a parser!

didn't Yoshi admit in the meantime, that (personal) Parsers are ok and part of the game.. since defacto all PC users have one. Yoshi used to be against it and wanted to ban such users, now he seen the profit from it..

sure, excluding other players from duties, cause of their dps is low is not fair.. but a "personal" parser, that only shows your own dps (not of other players) should be fine

and thought it might be a hardware issue, to keep the parser running smoothly on the PS4 without any hick ups.. (even some PCs have troulbe with them), that the PS4 Pro might handel it better

He didn't say they were ok or give his approval for them. He pretty much said "keep your mouth shut if you using parser and won't be no problems" but if they get a report that someone was bullied/kicked out of party for their dps cause someone using a parser a GM will still look into it.
