Consider FFXIV on XBox

Jay another console for which the PC gamers have to suffer cause ofc we play all on the same servers. Was already a pain it took an eternity to upgrade to the never playstations and cut support for the ancient models. And pc gamers not getting better graphics etc. for that reason. Adding another system for which you would have to wait...no...please no.

Well, my husband plays on PS5 and he loads faster than I do on a year old gaming pc. In fact, I often seeing him waiting for a lot of PC players while he is already loaded in. And yes, he can tell if they're PC because they don't have a PSN id when he examines them. Maybe it's time for the vast majority of PC players to stop holding back the current gen console players. And for PC players to stop thinking they are better than other gamers.

Other then the last part as I believe in not insulting our PC players cause hey, we are gamers at the end of the day. I love everyone here. The rest of what you said is very true. I'm on PS5 and the only people who beat me loading in are people with monster PCs. And yes I can tell because I beat laptops loading, PS4s, crappy PC builds. Hell most of the time people with monster PCs we load at the same time. The PS5 as far as loading times go is no joke.

I am not talking about the latest systems though, i am talking basically about the game supporting the old systems until they start to cry under the weight of graphic demand.

I mean heck they supported playstation 3, 3(!!!!), until 2017. That thing was 11 years old by that point. And PC players have to suffer for it. The only reason we have so many many instanced zones is mostly cause...yeah...console limitations!

Even ps4s with ssd’s load faster than a huge portion of the pc player base. I don’t think you know what you’re even on about. With how diverse pc builds can be, it’s more likely pcs being on the low end than consoles when it comes to holding the game back

I see you don't get it. Let me explain it to you >again<. We saw what happened with the PS3 and how long they supported it. Could be that it will be the same for the PS4 now, right? Maybe in 10 years they still try to make the game work for PS4.

And now imagine getting another console into the game. They don't upgrade at the same time perfectly sync, you know that right? Maybe the next MS console will come 3 years after the next PS or maybe not. It would be a huge support mess if they don't stick to the new consoles and supporting old consoles until they turn to dust cause of their age.

For PC you can always easily increase the requirements the game has, game needs more ram? You can get more ram. But consoles can't, they can't upgrade spontaneously. Especially when you literally support decades old console systems.

Which at the end also sucks up development time cause you need to try to make it work for literally everything.

So explain why they've mentioned that the current hold-up is potato pcs from people playing at or below min specs. Most people don't play on gaming pc's. They play on the pc they have or a school laptop thats terrible and runs the game at 15-20 fps. That's a much wider audience than people like me with 5800x's and 3080s.

there is still room for upgrade of graphic . but its fine how it is now . i really didnt understand when people compared WoW to FF14 as how WoW is having so great graphic...

to the topic . i cant imagine how to bring FF14 now to XBOX . its super late and if anything , im sure Sony wont allow it since theyre in friendship with SquareEnix and having already some exlusivity on Forspoken and Final Fantasy XVI .

I think you are the one that doesnt get it. Pc’s, being such diverse builds, are more probable of holding the game back than consoles. This includes the ps4. If they support the ps4 for many more years, there are guaranteed pc’s that are worse off than ps4’s still being supported. So AGAIN, I don’t think you know what you are on about. Get over the pc master race crap. Appreciate console users for making sure this game you play is still around through the support those console gamers showed it before it became the huge success it is now

PS: how long was windows 7 supported? Bout as long as ps3. Just saying…..

Do some people in here don't know the difference between SSDs and HDDs?
