PS5 pre order bonus

[TwiibieTwuu]

It hasn't been announced yet but. Do you think the PS5 will get pre order items like the PS4 did? Either the same ones or new ones? I'm pretty sure the PS4 got the sale pre order bonus as the original release of ARR?

What do you mean?

There is no new FF XIV expansion launching when PS5 will be out (next year).
The new FF XIV expansion will be in 2021 the earliest (if they want to continue this game at least).

And personally I think the pre orders for the new expansion will be the same for everybody regardless what platform you pre-order it on.

So when the PS4 version of FFXIV got released pre ordering it came with the ARR bonuses. I'm wondering if when FFXIV gets released on the PS5 if it will either come with the ARR bonuses or new ones.

I hope so, because when FFXIV was released to Ps4 we got new Standard/CE bonus ( minion, mount, acc ).

As fasr as i know the Mac version did not got the ARR pre-order bonus items.

And also the PS5 will be backwards compatible to PS4 games, there is no need for an extra PS5 version.

Buying a new game console day one is always a bad idea.

The number of times I have seen console first see third version die with a magnificent ring of dead or something similar, especially that at the exit it will be expensive in addition to being noisy while being a good heating for winter.

I am very happy to have the latest version of the Ps4 Pro very quiet.

If the console is for March 2020, then there will be no version completed before 6 months or 1 year.

And 2 years is far.

PS5 Limitations will be the excuse for it not happening.

I won't upgrade immediately unless there some insanely new feature for the PS5 version... like enhanced textures or something.

Otherwise I'll just keep playing on PS4 toaster until they stop supporting it (PS5 will be cheaper then too).

I'm fairly certain there won't be a preorder, considering it sounds like the PS5 is backwards compatible with PS4 games entirely.

The biggest reason PS4 got pre-order bonuses, was they were planning to drop PS3 support very early on, but had to wait for the right moment to do so.
It was an enticement to get you to switch up to make the impact less... impactful.


I don't think they plan to drop PS4 support, so I doubt there will be any perks for scaling up at this point.
