Are the sound channels severely limited in this game?

[Jibs]

Sounds get distorted and drop out very quickly when things get going in a fight and there are lots of mobs/players running around.

How many sound channels does this game have? I read somewhere ts pretty low...but how low?

Would really be nice if you guys could increase this.

My system (I build them) is plenty powerful and Im running a high end add in sound card. Ive noticed this issue if i set the sound channels low on other games (that have the option) just to test, this is why I assume FF XIV has a low ammount of default sound channels.

Hope you guys increase this....or give us the option to choose how many we want like a slider bar in the options.

It kills immersion imo..

By how often I hear my attack and spell sounds cut off I'm going to say, yes.

Most likely to reduce the amount of processing power and or memory required to house more than 12-24 sounds at a time.

It's a common thing to do, its a minimal difference in performance, but every-little helps.


Personally I think it should sit a little higher than what it's at now, it seems awfully low.

I'd imagine a lot of the little limitations and regressive bits and bobs are due to the PS3.

No offense at all intended to PS3 players, but I really wish they'd have just skipped it and went straight to PS4. Not having to design an MMO around a box with ~400 available megs of total ram would be just a wee bit better.

^ This basicly.
