Playstation 4 - Frame Rate Issue Problem

[Kiyashi]

That's actually normal for the PS4 version. In a less dense populated area you will get 60 fps, but when you move to a large area with other players then you can forget the 60fps. All you can do like on PC is limit the amount of characters that are displayed on screen at once. The PS4 is a huge step over the PS3 version, but in no way shape or form is it anywhere near performance wise to a good PC.

It's not that, I've experienced these issues the OP is talking about, but ever since I got my ps4. There are times where if you're looking at a certain direction, popular or not, the FPS dips really low. To me it happens when I look at WhiteBrim when I'm on the north side looking south. It also happens at the snow cloak entrance. I have no idea why it does this, and it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue (my ps4 isn't overheating, fan noise is minimal).

That depends on your computer and how much money you have sunk into it and good PC is rather subjective. There are many different things that can affect performance from RAM to processor caching and all the way through to the ISP you use.

To an extent. I built my wife a PC that cost around $500 and runs FFXIV 60 FPS on max settings no matter what she is doing. Has never had any lag issues (even in hunts). Our internet is subpar (10mbps Down/750kbps Up). My PC on the other hand, I have to put mine on around medium settings but my PC was new when 1.0 released.

On my end, it drops a bit of frames (again, interface and all still shows a steady 60) but it normalizes and smooths itself out eventually. There's no pattern to it though, it happens when it happens and smooths out when it smooths out.
