Ps4 upgrade help

[Seryl199]

Not sure of the best place to post this but here goes. I've completed the prerequisite steps to download the ps4 client, but when I enter the redemption code, I am immediately booted to the home screen with no download, and nothing in the library. After a few tries and a brief google search, I've had no luck. Can anyone shed light on this? Please and thank you!

Worked, thank you very much!

You're welcome, happy I could help out.

That issue is pretty irritating.

I'm having trouble with the PS4 controlles, the lock-on system is kind of a bigger challenge then it was ment to be on the PS4

locking on to more enemies is a pain,after locking on to the 2nd enemy and trying to hit it a 2nd time, instead of hitting it a 2nd time, the lock on jumps back to the first enemy -.-'

unless you "manuelly" unlock the first enemy (pressing"O" to unlock it), it will allways like lock on back to the first enemy, after trying to it any other enmey more than once

there's like 3 different lock ons:
a "light" lock on, with which you can shift fast between enemies/NPCs ect.
a "hard" lock on, which locks on to the first enemy/NPC you lock on to
a "3rd" lock on, so you can strave around the enemy

imo the "hard" lock on is unnecessary, because once you start switching between ememies with the "light" lock on, and try to hit any of those enemies more than once, it will jump back to the firt enemy with the "hard" lock on

is anyone else having similar troubles?

The light lock is great for healers or for tanks needing a quick swap. Just so you know though, there's a nice easy solution, while holding L2 or R2(Or both) down, use R1/L1, it'll swap between targets, specifically hostile targets.

thanx

when you hold L2 and R2, the (cross) hotbar pops up for actions.. never really tryied to hold them and press L1 / L2.. (or there were no targets when back then??...)

but when holding those and the pressing L1 or L2, it "hard" locks on to ememies and you can switch the "hard" lock on between them, nice! ...

(the buttons are really used to the max, kind of overused, ..a normal lock on, like the "light"for fast switchng would be imo enough.., but being able to jump back to the "hard" lock on fast, has it's advantages)

....maybe I should have started the game, my first MMO ever, with less "Mary Jane".. lol... (but those gorgeous landscapes are crying for Mary Jane ..., Mary Jane + beautifull landscapes are a nice hybrid...)

Additionally, if you hold your autorun button and press up/down on the dpad it will cycle through the monsters on your enemy list. Pressing X on the new target before using a skill changes that to your locked target instead. It may seem difficult at first but once you get used to it I think you'll find that ffxiv has the best controller scheme ever designed for an MMO.

thanx

I used the digipad before, for the "light" switching, it was set to "up/down" for NCPs & co,, left/right for enemies..

but if I hold L1 (autorun botton), and use the d-pad it doesn't switcht between anything,.. is there some custom setting that needs to be in place? (the "filter customization" consits of holind L1 and pressting the X, O, triagle & square buttons)

otherwise, if I lockon "light" with the d-pad (not need for holding L1/autorun.., I must have changed some setting..??), and then press X, ...like you said, before using a skill, I can hard lock switch on to that enemy

(but it really only works, if you didn't use any skill, otherwise you have to "unlock manually" from the first.. or use the L2/R2&L1/L2 swithing trick...)

eitherway, it's a good reminder/tip, that before useing a skill, you can swtich hard locks like that too
(and I'm slowly getting used to L2&R2/L1&R1 hard swithing too .., the controlles really are good, and you really just need getting used too them, once you know some of the finessen...)

You should not need to set any settings up, but if you attack 2 monsters at the same time you will notice an enemy list appears that shows both enemy names. Holding L1 and pressing up/down cycles through that list. It's helpful in fights with a lot of adds where you're trying to target/kill specific ones first rather than aoeing.
