    FFXIV doesn't have a Pro patch so it doesn't support the Pro properly. This means it playes normally on the Pro but at the same performance with the regular PS4. The Pro has 2 separate chips. The secondary one can be used only when the developer releases a Pro specific patch. This happens for compatibility reasons. For now XIV didn't mention any Pro support so this means XIV doesn't see any improvements on Pro over the regular PS4 until they release a patch and support it properly. If you want XIV to support the Pro make a separate thread and ask there. Just like we did with the High Resolution textures and 4K support on PC.

    I'm not sure if the performance would be the same on both Slim and Pro. I've heard (horror) stories of The Last Guardian, where the Slim had problems on the graphical part where the Pro would run is normally. Though TLG does have Pro support, the GPU of the Pro is around 2.25% faster than that of the Slim, making by default faster when rendering huge amounts of (N)PCs in the game.

    Good call though to ask for Pro support. Though I don't think 4K on PS4 is workable for a PS4 MMO, I think on 1080p there might be a massive improvement over the Slim though...
