Why can't PS4 users turn down and Limit NPC's and PC's like on PC?

[AdamChattaway]

The game runs pretty well on PS4 but in any area with a lot of people it lags like hell, and id on't understand why? they said they made game to show as many people as possible but is freaking 10 FPS in a city/Hub worth this? not even my PC with a 4.2 ghz i5 and gtx 970 can handle this with more than 40 fps on Normal, so why can't the PS4 have the option to turn down the amount of npcs we see? it would make our FPS go from 10 to 60 or higher just like on PC...

I would think that it is your connection not the PS4. I play on PS4 and I've never lagged in an area with lots of players, or struggled with performance issues in crowded cities, gold saucer, etc. I can have tons of characters on my screen at once with no problem.

Your FPS has nothing to do with your connection. I have both a PC that runs XIV on max settings with 60fps everywhere except crowded cities (which makes it about 40), and a ps4. The ps4 suffers from FPS issues, only marginally.

Yea i got Sky Fiber 55 mb/s and 15 mb/s upload, The PS4 version would prob run MUUUCH better if the PC density were turned down just 1 noth from e.g. high to normal or whatever, i do think the PS4 handles people alot better than the PC though, the PC with the same amount of PC'S on screen seems to run much worse than the PS4, this is why i think the PS4 would be soo much better if they just turned it down a bit, i don't need to see 100 people in my vicinity, 50 would still be plenty.

It probably goes against (Sony's) PS4 development rules to have performance sliders.

Golden Saucer day 1 was pretty rough, and S-rank marks can get dreadful if you dont turn off effects for non-party players.

Other than that, PS4 is fine. At least coming from PS3, where no single area got past 30 FPS, and seemed to struggle to stay above mid 20s.

I am on Odin and it is far from being horrific. RT performs just fine. The game is at its worst during FATE's such as Odin and S rank hunts. I have been impressed with how well Gold Saucer performs on PS4.

I never had issues with my PS4. I just turn down the effects from other players.
Like others have stated, it might be your connection.

Hmm.. i play on:
Core2Duo E6550 oc to 2,8
4gb DDR2 800mhz
9600 GT 1GB GDD3 with 700mhz on core and 2000mhz on memory
Shit pc but in mor-dhona or gold saucer in peak hours i got around 15fps......i think earlier that PS4 got more horse power and even consider to buy PS4 to play FFXIV rather than upgrading PC but now idk :/
