PS4 Beta?

[Pseudopsia]

No, DX11 on pc will be on par with PS4 since the PS4 version is a direct port of the DX11 client, hence they will get released around the same time.

That was originally the case till they delayed the PC DX11 client by 6 months. Now PS4 client will be nearly the same as current PC highest settings with only a few features of directx 11.

GW: When can we expect the DirectX 11 version release?

Yoshida:We were finally able to announce the PS4 versions beta test timing, so from there the next phase would be about 6 month later.

Yoshida: We’ll use parts of the DirectX 11 features, but unlike the PC version it’s not fully supported.

The PS4 client is NOT going to simply be the PS3 client reskinned. It's going to be closer to the PC client. Since it's a brand new build of the game on a brand new system it will require a 2-4 weeks of testing to work out wrinkles. This isn't beta testing the game persay just beta testing the new client. Wouldn't want to launch the PS4 version and find out there's a massive graphical glitch or something. Plus they'll probably hand out some beta keys to try and drum up more subs. I remember the FFXI Xbox launch. Major sub increase then.

I don't understand the need for beta. Dcuo was available for ps4 at launch, so ffxiv should do the same thing. No need to delay for months. They have enough time to test its compatibility before feb 22 to just release the full game.

I'm pretty sure they waited for the initial sales of ARR to decide IF they even bother with a ps4 client. which is understandable, considering the way 1.0 went

The PS4 Interface will be different than the PC and PS3 Interfaces, so yes there will need to be a Beta for it. Probably even a Beta for the VITA Remote Play.
