Are people really like this?

Consoles are perfectly fine. I play this game on my Commodore 64 in 1080p @60fps. And a ps4 is a modest +1 above.

Unfortunately some people feel the need to be elitist about the silliest things, best to move on and chalk it up to a petty player.

Funny thing is while a decent/good gaming PC will outperform a PS4, a very large number of players are actually playing this game on a sub $500 bargain PC from Walmart... >.>

And how exactly would they know what platform you're playing on anyway, you could say anything and they wouldn't know, but really who is going to join a group with that kind of attitude from a recruiter.



True to a point, though if you're playing on PC the gamertag doesn't display to PC users, it only shows up for other PS4 users, so they couldn't tell if they are playing on PC to begin with, they would need to be on PS4 to see who else is playing on PS4.

yeah i can't think of a time i saw such a thing when i view peoples gear cuzz i'm curious what the glam might be and i'm on pc too. still that's like console pc racism basicly i've known plenty of ps4 users that out perform pc users

definitely. XIV is actually pretty lightweight compared to a lot of titles. you could slap a gtx 1050ti into a $100-150 business desktop bought used on ebay and it'll play just fine for about $300.

They will only know once you are in the instance if it's cross world. When you exam people's gear, if they are PS4 players, it shows their gamertag in the bottom right corner under the job stone.

You only see the tag if your a PS4 player yourself.

This. My raid WHM is a PS4 player, and his tag isnt visible from my PC version (hes from a different server) but when im on my PS4, i can see his tag.
(This applies to same server as well, as I can jump on a free trial account on my PC, and look at my PS4 account, and not see the tag, while seeing the tag on same server PS4 players)

Not sure what this non-sense is about. I play on PS4, yes I can't figure out my numbers, but I have peeps for that, that do not mind.

As far as end game though, I beat first coils and half 2nd coils back on my PS3 (yes w/ SSD though.) Raiding has never been an issue for me on PS4 either (and has been more fun visually at least on PS4.)

Raiding is not solely based around PC, you can easily raid (even w/o FFlogs and parsers) on PS4.

Talking in Discord has never been an issue or any voice chat really. It's why I have my laptop beside me while I play. I know I'm probably the minority in that respect, but yes people do have smart phones and I know a lot of other PS4 players who do use at least their phone to chat in Discord.

So unless it's just people you have just come across who are stubborn that is a very wrong and unnecessary broad general statement about PS4 players.

I'm not PC elitist and play many games on PS4, but for FFXIV... PS4 players don't know their damage output (and, therefore, can't see if they need to impove) unless they ask a PC player. The whole fflogs and serious high end raiding is based around PC.
For casual content like expert roulettes platform doesn't matter.
And I noticed PS4 players will less likely use discord or similar communication programs, even if they are available on mobile.
Can't open links from the chat and other inconveniences.

That is one hell of a presumptuous comment. "PS4 players can't see if they need to improve'? Seriously? High end raiding based around PC? Less likely to use discord?
That's one hell of a comment. I can't even...
I'm a PS4 user - I use discord when it is necessary for content, and if asked. I have my own discord channel and I can pop into others as needed. Perhaps I can't see my damage output..but I know when I'm not contributing much to the raid through my damage numbers on screen. It's almost as if you're suggesting that PS4 users generally don't have any business being in serious end game raiding, in which case, that's a really messed up analysis about 'PS4 players'. Are you sure you're talking about mainly PS4 players? I mean, how would you know - if you play this on PS4, have you checked every single raiders' job crystal for their gamertag, so you know that they are screwing up? Do you ask them when you are on PC if they are a PS4 user (which is just an odd thing to do when trying to figure out damage numbers).

Or did you just come here and post a baseless comment based on maybe a few bad runs in endgame, or because maybe, just maybe, some players didn't want to join a discord and you maybe assumed them to be PS4 users?

[Tizzy_Tormentor]

So they hate consoles for being anti-consumer and won't support it in any way, so they support FFXIV, which is on consoles.

Fucking kek.
