PS4 Beta?

[DukeGr]

PS4 get the same graphic quality like the PC with the current high setting. DX11 is only for PC.

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.

And not every PC player would need to download the game new, only the one who want the DX11 client.

I highly doubt this will be the case, most likely there will be a big client update and users will be able to select from ingame options if they want to run DX9 or DX11. So one universal client is what we will get.

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.

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.

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.

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
