    PS3 Users SDD



    Well I finally broke down and installed a SSD to try to help the PS3 cope with all characters onscreen. It was such a pain for me to target mobs that would be invisible or the lag from fates. The loading screens are now 1.5-2.5 secs tops. I haven't been able to test the more laggy fates yet, but I've done a few dungeons and my performance upgrade is noticeable. The characters(npcs) still drop out to conserve RAM from a distance, but they pop back much faster when you're close to them. I no longer run to a npc quest marker and need to wait a long time for npc to pop. This applies to fates too where you turn in supplies. I'm still going to update to the PS4, but installing a SSD was the best thing a PS3 player can do to help their performance. I thought I've give some hope out to other PS3 users who struggle to do fates. I picked up a Samsung 120GB 840 series.

    I may do this with my shiny new paycheck. Just have to find one with a $/GB that isn't outrageous. If I have too I'll Zombie the drive out of my laptop and basically swap them out because my laptop had a 500gb ssd from dell :x

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    The recent Samsungs have proven to be pretty solid.

    Which PS3 do you have? Mine is the old 40GB model (no backward compatibility). I've wanted to upgrade mine for awhile but with PS4 out soon I wasn't sure if it was worth it. If it did that much difference for you, I might consider it, though.

    I have a 30 gig SSD laying around. How easy is it to install to the PS3?

    Installing an SSD is no different from installing an HDD. You just have to make sure to use a SATA drive. I recently installed one on my old 60g PS3, though admittedly not for this game, and the game barely spends any time on loading screens. Models load pretty quickly, too and barely any time is used to switch up textures between distance and close-in.

    that's great news, thanks!

    if it says SATA III, it's still also SATA I/II right? since ps3 doesn't support III...

    All SSDs are backwards compatible. I've had an Samsung 840 SSD installed in my PS3 for awhile and its very responsive in comparison to the original one that came with. I would recommend it!

    also a tip for ps3 players: set your hdtv to game mode to fix latency issues.
