PS4 Pro users: do you feel lied to?

[Mikhaill]

Today I learned Live Letters are not to be taken as reality.

I have not much to contribute as I'm a PC player, but I'ma just here to say:
They say a lot of things.
That's about it lol.

Hijacking the thread somewhat (because who needs private messaging in a forum?!), how do you like Yojimbo? I was thinking of transferring over and it would be good to know what it is like in advance. Are there enough people to do the big FATEs with despite it being a small server? Hoping to majorly decrease my ping, hence the transfer, but I'm used to big server life

I love Yojimbo and would never leave, but it's definitely a huge change from a big server - I was briefly on Masamune first and that was very busy so there's a noticeable difference. Current content (e.g. Ixion right now) is fine and you'll easily fill parties, but if you play at non-peak times you might struggle with open world content. I only cleared Coeurlregina for the first time this week after a lot of attempts previously because my groups always ended up too small to get her down in the time limit and Odin has had the same issue more than once. A and S rank hunts are very popular during peak times but often surprisingly challenging outside of those windows when you just have a handful of people scrabbling to get a decent spread of jobs for the party. And PVP queues are very long across the whole Gaia group as soon as you hit late night. If you keep normal waking hours you'll be ok.

In terms of server culture, it's quite laid back overall but we have had a minor influx of returnees and new players lately (due to the incentives no doubt) and non-Japanese speakers have become more common all of a sudden. I witnessed someone complaining in the novice network the other day when a new player asked a question in Japanese because they couldn't read it and apparently thought the world revolved around them! Most of the veteran non-speakers keep to their own communities and are polite, though, so there isn't any awkward friction between play styles like there often was in FFXI.

Overall I love the place, and it's funny when you're in a DF group and people ask for your server. "Yojimbo?! Was there a server with that name? I've never heard of it!" is the usual reaction. If you want a bit more activity then in honesty a slightly bigger server is probably more exciting, but if you end up on Gaia one day I hope it will treat you well (I will forever remember you as the Tonberry omrice guy, though). And you'll never, ever have a problem finding a house. We can't even give them away.

Might be worth making some alts to test out some of the Japanese servers? You can usually get a feel for the place very quickly, even as a newbie.

A PS4 Pro you need a 4K for the full effect 4K and all that, but non 4K TV you should still see visual improvements in some games as Sony had made an update patches ago (HDR)

We were told in the Live Letter that, with the release of SB, we would receive a Pro Patch that would let us achieve stable 60fps even in areas "with a lot of people". If you've played today on the new standard "increased FPS" mode, you'll see that nothing has changed. What are your thoughts on this?

You sir... are deluded. Even with a GTX1080 you can't maintain 60fps during high traffic. Go to rhalgars reach and see what difference it is to standing in a less busy zone. You think I bought my computer and complained when I saw 59fps surrounded by hundreds of people?

[Demetri_Delethorn]

Bumping this because it was unacceptable then and is unacceptable now.

[Enyalios]

Nope, it's still perfectly fine. If you play on a potatoe expect potatoe performance

[Demetri_Delethorn]

Shame on SE for not addressing this in the Live Letter. What went wrong with the patch? Where is what we were promised? I intend to work toward an answer.

PC gamers trying too hard, as usual.

[Enyalios]

Not trying hard, stating facts. You're expecting PC performance from a PS4. youre never gonna get that, accept it. Move on

[Enyalios]

Oh and a fun thing for you, my computer doesn't need to try hard either. Cool calm 120+ fps in most content, lovely

I'm happy for you.

Anyway, this will continue until I receive an SE response. I and many others were lied to, and some of us made purchases based on an unfulfilled promise. This is not good for consumers.
