Folks who think ditching PS4 would open up a wonderland of PC features are fooling themselves. FFXIV caters to a broad playerbase, not just a handful of l33t powergamers with liquid-cooled monster machines. I'd reckon that the performance level of PS4 is actually ABOVE the average level of the PC SE would like to target.

So what would happen if they were to be separated now? A lot of heartache and broken communities, and NO improvements to the PC version whatsoever.
