Again, not defending the Jaguar CPU, but PS4 games are optimized so well that they only experience drops in MMOs and online games when too many players are on the screen at once (hubs). But this is something that even happens on lower end PCs.

So please stop talking out of your arse.
You "dont feel" the frame drops because you are probably playing on fps compensating TV.
Standard PS4 is set to run the ffxiv in 60 fps, but it does not hit that target and it drops heavily down to 40 fps even in empty town.

PS4 is limiting factor for FFXIV development and its straight out fact, its too weak to hold this perfectly optimized game, which uses multicore architecture on all systems. Like it or not, SE wont make FFXIV better than it is unless they will drop ps4 support altogether.
