Console limitations? I was never aware that this was a constraint for the devs, and always looked at things from a business perspective and saw it as 'consumer limitations'. Just imagine how many active subs they would lose if PS5 came out and they dropped PS4 support soon after. I was quite honestly a bit surprised when they dropped PS3 support, but also realized they let that go as long as they could. The PS3 is a fossil now.

Truth be told, I oft wonder when the day will come that consoles take over all gaming. I remember when arcades and their machines remained competitive by staying ahead of consoles much like PCs do today. Now I feel so freaking old for even mentioning it. I figure since people now will gladly drop four figures on a phone, it won't be long before they are willing to do the same for a gaming console.

Anywho, there will always be a 'limitation' because there will always be players who can't afford higher than the limiting technology. I would let this go for FFXIV in general. We won't see huge technical improvements until the next FF mmo.
