So, trying to help a friend of mine out with the issues they're having.

They are playing FFXIV on a PS4. They just told me yesterday this problem has started to plague them and it is making dungeon play literally impossible. I was hoping someone could share some light on this.

When they're playing, they are having trouble maintaining a running speed. When you just move and go at your natural run, not sprinting or anything, they can't keep this up. After about 5-10 seconds of doing this, they slow to a walking speed, or stop moving completely for 2-5 seconds, and resume running, and this keeps up indefinitely.

Has anyone seen an issue like this, know what could be causing it, or what we can do to fix this? By all means it cannot be the controller. Every other game plays PERFECTLY there is never any problems with the joysticks, but running in FFXIV has become completely impossible without breaking into a walk every few seconds. This makes it impossible to do any bosses that require constant AoE dodging, so I would love some support to get them going again!
