Discrimination against PS4 users?

[ArcanoJones]

These are all local things. Camera, controller delays, keyboard delays..etc. Just because you seem to be turning faster that doesn't mean the server and the syncing is actually moving you or turning you that fast. It mostly depends on how fast your connection is and your lag. The server might see you in a slightly different place than you think you are.

I have had pretty terrible lag on PC all year, and get hit by things if I don't pre-dodge. Using a VPN seems to help.

I don't know if PS4 players can use VPNs or if playing on PS4 would have a different ping, but I think it'd make more sense to ban east coast players like myself from your PFs.

But I will say, the gamepad is not particularly ideal for playing the game in my opinion.

I've done both controller (my setup) and keyboard/mouse (boyfriend's setup). Between the two, and I'm going to sound crazy saying this...keyboard/mouse feels inferior. My own opinion.

They have no way of knowing what you're playing on. Just ignore it.

Unless your sticks have been made/set to digital, we definitely can tell. M/KB players' characters start off sprinting and come to full stop when moving and stopping. Whereas controller players accelerate into a walk then run and likewise slow down when coming to a stop.

The only PC players on a Keyboard you'll see walking are RPers.

As for preferences, people may group with whomever they wish. What I don't understand is why the OP is ticked he can't group with these people. Why would he want to group with people that do not wish to group with him? You're not missing anything except for arguments.

Some PC users have access to multiple 3rd Party apps that PS4 users cannot use that help them perform better on fights and play FFXIV better. And i'm not just talking about the Parsing app lol.

I never start in a walk and into a run on PS4, so have no freaking clue what you are talking about. I've never been called out for playing on PS4 Pro and I am sure no one knows. I am sick of PC elitism.

Yes, turn slower. I personally use a mouse to move. So, I would quickly turn and then hit my spell, which turned me back with the auto-facing. Now, if I was on a controller, I would just strife left or right. There are times you still need to turn, like when you have to face away from the purple eye. With a mouse, you can do that much quicker and therefore have a little bit more time to let the spell finish.

But at this point, we are talking about a fraction of a second and is you have to be pinching for what would be about 2 to 3 extra second of activity out of the whole fight, then there are other problems than hardware.

If you use legacy controls on controller, you can turn your character basically instantly by moving the joystick opposite from the enemy. I often ride gaze castbars to 90% then quickly turn in the last possible moment on controller; there's no advantage/disadvantage when it comes to turning your character on controller vs KB/M since both have methods to instantly turn.

I have played a little with a PS4, not entirely by choice but not having access to a desktop to play on due to various reasons, I have not noticed any additional delays.

And yet the director and producer himself uses one in Live Letters.

That is literally wrong.

I heavily disagree with this.

I play on PC and play with the Gamepad (+Keyboard and mouse).

This is one of the most incorrect and misinformed statements I have read in a while. What even is this?

[Ayuhra]

I'm on PC and always thought controller play would reduce reaction time. Theeeeen I started using a controller on PC and my reaction time went up with my abilities being all in easy reach.

So this guy probably didn't know what he was talking about.
