PS4 Pro users: do you feel lied to?

Reading some of these comments affirms my belief mmo's should never be released on consoles.

They just hold the game back - too bad they can't drop support for PS4 entirely. Maybe at the end of SB for the next expansion they can give out free PC copies for transitioning potato console owners like they did for PS3>PS4.

Are they going to give us free PCs then too? It's already confirmed that it's PCs holding the game back, namely the 32-bit toasters half the fanbase in Japan still uses. Please don't be jerks to other people and criticise their ability to play the game. We already missed out on the whole of 1.x and had to migrate hardware (in many cases) once.

I'm not saying that my PS4 runs the game better than PC (heck, my OG PS4 runs a heck of a lot worse than my buddies right now, since I don't have a SSD!)

But I still don't want to go PC.

Sorry wasn't meant to criticize - more like a jab at the guy complaining that the game doesn't run at 60 fps on his "pro" console...of course it doesn't and him claiming they promised it would run at 60 locked everywhere was a ridiculous statement - mine was meant to be equally ridiculous but I suppose sarcasm is hard to convey in this format.

Never said it should run 60 everywhere. You're really grasping at straws now.

Should i spend $400 on a PS4 Pro based on this new switch that was added at Stormblood launch? Or just keep using my original PS4? Please only answer if you have upgraded from PS4 to PS4 pro. Thanks.

Pro isnt worth the upgrade unless you have a 4k tv. Stick with youre OG ps4 for now

Visually most games see some improvement even with non 4K tv, as Sony had done a hdr update.
Myself i upgraded to a Pro before got a 4K but sure looks nice now that i have a 4K TV
For FFXIV however the regular PS4 is fine.

"According to Yoshida-san, players should be able to experience stable 60 FPS with the mode that favors frame rate, even if he did not specify if the frames per second will be locked or not."

Was also on the stream, if you want to look it up in any of their archives, where they talk about it. It obviously won't achieve a locked 60 in all zones, which is to be expected, and was a point they made. However, they specifically mention "Two" modes. One aimed at higher performance, with the current resolution, the other maintaining the current frame rate with higher resolution.

In reality, it seems as if they kept not only the previous resolution, but also the previous frame rate from pre-patch for the "Performance" mode. A "Performance" mode that actually doesn't even exist as an option on the video settings tab (or very recently was, ninja status anyway). I wouldn't say I feel lied to, but it does feel a bit like a bamboozle. It feels like they're using a technicality to get around the fact that they might not have actually worked on a performance upgrade for the base resolution.

"Well, you CAN toggle on 4k, and that WILL lower your FPS, so technically the non-4k IS performance mode ;^)." That's kind of the mindset they seem to want for us to adapt. Doesn't feel exactly forthcoming of them.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll save my money for a high end PC.
