Translations (JP to English)

Can you elaborate on what might be meant with the FPS comment?

よ～～～し次は１５ｆｐｓだな
OK~~~ so next is 15 FPS
技術的には15fps自体を実装することは可能です。
Technically it's possible to implement 15fps

ただし、まずはパッチ1.19にて30fpsをお試しいただければと思います。
However, first we would like for you to try the 30fps in patch 1.19.

PCの環境は人それぞれ違いますので、フィードバックをいただきながら、
その上で、15fpsの実装検討を含め、快適な動作のために対応は継続して行っていきます。
PC's environment varies depending on the person, therefore we would like to receive feedbacks first then on top of that be able to look into releasing 15fps and continue to make other changes which may ease (make it more enjoyable) the play.

The game's framerate is already uncapped meaning it can hit 60 fps or higher. All most want is for the game to be optimized so its not unnecessarily taxing on hardware that should be able to maintain a steady 50-60 easily. I know its just a quick translation, but it just seems odd to talk about implementing a specific framerate...especially something like 15fps.

I think the game is capped at 60fps, because the game heats your system too much otherwise.

Somebody asked for a 15fps cap (god knows why), the rep responded that they'll implement a 30fps cap first and would like him to try that.

A 30fps cap can be useful if your system can't get to 60fps regularly enough.

Wouldn't a 15fps cap mean the game would appear jumpy and lose smooth movement?

I remember back when 60fps was the norm to run games at instead of 30fps.

Still if it stops the fauna of Black Shroud from chewing your frame-rate, it's got to be an improvement.

[Betelgeuzah]

Yeah you'd certainly notice it. It makes no sense to ask for it.

30fps is still okay, 60 of course being even better.

So someone really did ask for a 15fps cap...thats just insane. 30 I can see though. A smooth 30 still looks and plays nice.

６０ｆｐｓ＝温度80℃ファン78％
３０ｆｐｓ＝　　　70℃ファン67％
１５ｆｐｓ＝　　　６５℃ファン50％（FF11並
Fan 60fps = 78% Temperature 80 ℃
Fan 30fps = 70 ℃ 67%
Fan 15fps = 65 ℃ 50% (just as FF11

This might be the point.Fan is loud and the room gets hot so, they want to make the fps low.What is fps anyways?

[Estellios]

Frames Per Second.

Makes sense, you can turn it on when you're craft grinding late at night or something.

[yukikaze_yanagi]

frame per second, aka the frequence of photograms which video are made. An highter valuse mean a more fluid video. Related to videogames, a low cap to frames make the software skip some animation frame, so the game take less hardware resurce but make the game like it's PGs have wood joints.
Also, 15 fps cap it's way too little, so instead of wood joints the end result would be rock solid joints :||

[Colino]

Well I honestly would never use a 15fps cap for actual gameplay, but if I'm crafting/fishing while watching movies and capping at 15fps reduces power consumption or heating... I would probably use it in those sort of situations.

[Catapult]

Lower-specced computers would benefit from a 15fps cap as it would prevent it from trying to over-exert itself.

Having the option in the config menu would be better than having it forced. That way the minority of players who would want it can still access it without inhibiting others.
