PC vs. PS4 limitations

[SummerSkye]

I was reading this:

http://www.hardcoregamer.com/2015/03...liever/139470/

....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.

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

well graphically though they are the same and by the way how do you tell the FPS on ps4?

I would assume the system configuration windows lets them know FPS the same as the PC does?

I ask because I haven't seen the option on my ps4 personally.

No FPS numbers in the system configuration

Control wise though, I much prefer having a keyboard. There are simply too many skills for me to map everything to a single controller!

at least this is not part of PS4 limitation ^^
you can play FF XIV on PS4 with keyboard and mouse like on PC

I know plenty of people that use a PC that goes through the same thing..Also, I haven't really suffered from such a problem. Maybe because I've simply turned the effects down when it comes to S ranks.

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.
