PC vs. PS4 limitations

[SummerSkye]

I was reading this:

....and in there he states that due to PS4 limitations, it will only be able to run FFXIV at approximately the same level as a PC set to "good".

Currently, I play on a PC, on maxed out settings and pull down 80-110fps. I was just wondering if the people playing on consoles are missing out on just how amazing this game looks with everything on max? Is this true that the PS4 is that limited? Just curious.

I have it on both PC on ps4the limitations are minimal at best. is there a difference yes it can be seen looking up close the graphic implementations on things stuff is more clear sharper but other than that it's about the same.

I don't see what he's basing that info off of other than watching "some downright stunning gameplay footage". Sounds to me like he just doesn't believe that PS4 will be able to handle it and is making wild conjectures to drum up controversy for page views.

I've seen plenty of PC screenshots and they never seem to look better than PS4 ones... there's probably a marginal difference but not enough for me to care.

Honestly, I played on the PC till the PS3 Beta, which I wholly adopted until late this March when I finally had a PS4 to upgrade to... and I miss the PS3 version. The PS4 version is XIV's answer to XI's 360 version, it's just a port of the PC version tooled to the PS4's specs. They look exactly the same because they are the same. And having upgraded to the PS4 I find myself woefully reminded of my PC install, which I practically never play. Highlander hyurs flopping about like it's South Beach, graphics that look like a DVD being played on an LCD... how people call this better is beyond me. But that's just me and I will just have to get used to it as I already plan to get Heavensward for the PS4... as soon as Sony opens CE preorders. No reason to go out and get the PS3 version... again.

The real issue is the limitation of the PS3. We cant even see party members TP because the PS3 couldn't handle so much data at once.

I hate that I can't tell when someone needs a goad. I think it looks amazing on my computer. I should watch a friend play it on a PS4 so I can see for myself.

Graphically it may look the the same, but the limitations are not minimal. I have it for both, and the PS4 does not perform that well. Whenever I'm in crowded areas, the FPS is in the 20-30s. During Hunts sometimes the FPS goes down to the single digits when there are a lot of people. Frontlines the performance isn't great either. I gave up and am back to playing on my PC now

Troll post. Just put the "PC master race" jpg up and move on. This game could be 8-bit, i'd play it.
