Hi,

Over the past few days I've noticed my PS4 version of FFXIV:ARR has become ever so sluggish, high population areas such as the main cities, Mor Dhona etc I notice my FPS drop rapidly to the point where my character almost feels like it's tredding through mud.

To note, since the PS4 version was released the game was running amazingly well, high populated areas had no impact on performance, even doing Odin Fate it never felt like it struggled to render everyone etc. It felt like it was indeed a comparison to a high end PC in terms of settings etc but of late I feel like I've almost reverted back to being on par with the PS3 version in terms of performance.

It's starting to creep into dungeons, recently they were my only safe area to play the game but even now the game is starting to feel sluggish inside dungeons. To state this is not latency related as I have no lag, this feels very much graphical and I'd almost put my finger on it to say it feels like a memory leak, game seems normal to some extent but the longer I play the more the "sluggish performance" rears it's head.

I've tried the following with no avail.

1] Rebooted PS4
2] Re-installed FFXIV:ARR, fresh download /install.
3] Re-initialized the PS4 (Quick Format)
4] Re-initialized the PS4 (Full Format)

To quash any of the generic responses I've also rebooted my router, tested my connection (120mb down / 10mb up).

My TV: http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-32LD450-lcd-tv (4ms response time) - never had any issues with it prior nor with any other games. No input lag etc.

Has anyone else noticed a drop in performance with the PS4 since the last maintenance? Almost like the PS4 version has converted back to PS3 in terms of performance.
