Will FFXIV be on Ps5

[AlliciaCapulet]

Do you even know the PlayStation 5's specs?

Even without knowing the specs, there are some pc at the moment that still beat what the ps5 will be - people who put thousands in a pc will always beat a console. But I honnestly doubt that we'll see/ear PS5 limitation before a while, at least not when the PS4 is still arround.

And to answer the question, it's a sure bet to say that it will work on the PS5. Yoshi said they have ideas for at least 3 more expansion after Shadowbringers, so if they keep going with an expansion every 2 years, it means at least 8 more years of FFXIV. The PS4 won't last that long, and there is too many people playing on a playstation to stop supporting it.

Which would probably open the door for more expansion if they re-worked it for PS5

Just a rumour due to a patent filed by Sony but the PS5 may be backwards compatible. I'd still like to see an upgraded port such as the PS3 / PS4 versions but early PS5 adopters may still get their FFXIV fix.

Which begs the question if the System goes backwards compatible would it run FFXI and would SE allow it or Sony.
