PS5 pre order bonus

Absolutely no way. FFXIV will forever be limited by the lowest spec system it targets, and in this case it will be the vanilla PS4, which was released in 2013, a whooping 6 years ago.

I just don't see FFXIV drop PS4 support until maybe 2 or even 3 years into PS5.

The lowest spec system is not the ps4, Google the specs and you can still find budget laptops that people will be playing this game on.

I think maybe I've misrepresented my thoughts.

I wanted to say that on the console side, even when PS5 is released, PS4 will still be on the list of supported consoles. And since Square Enix insists on an equal experience across all platforms and on all hardware specs, it's likely that they won't make full use of PS5's powers, just like right now they don't make use of the full power of any reasonably mainstream gaming PC, because they "cap" their gaming experience on what a PS4 can provide on a Full HD resolution.

I just don't see them target anything significantly more powerful than the vanilla PS4 in the forseeable future. At least not until their player hardware data indicate to them that most of their console players are on PS5 already, which is probably like another 3-4 years away.

Yep
Also, Zfz that's not correct
This game is not a port its just cross platform, if a 4000$ custom build rig runs this at 4k "true" ultra wide HDR at 100+ fps then the ps5 absolutely will.
