Hi all, this is going to be a bit tricky for me to explain that well, as my Dyslexia causes me to get muddled.
Since Stormblood came out (which was when I first played FF14), I have owned and played on the PS4-Pro for most of that time. At the end of last summer, I was able to build myself a good enough "gaming" PC that I bought the special Windows digital bundle, offered to people who have the game already on a different system.
Due to a spinal injury, I am only able to sit at my desk on the PC for about an hour on a good day, before I have to lay down and rest my back. This means I will typically log out from the Windows Client and then log back in on my PS4-Pro. This allows me to be active in game for greater periods of time, such as doing FC trails/duties etc.
With Shadowbringers coming out later this year, I am going to have to buy myself two licences (Windows and PS4), which is, for me, a big outlay. I was wondering if SE/retailers do any type of bundle offers, where I can get two digital licences, which will save money when compared to having to buy them individually? I don't know how common it is for people to play the game on two different systems, using the same account?
The reason why I don't just use my PS4-Pro for FF14, is down to how much better my PC is able to handle 4k at 60fps when I am doing the larger group content such as Alliance raids. When there are so many people letting off attacks and heals in a small area, I have found that even a PS4-Pro tends to hiccup and drop frames. Even with things turned down on the in-game system settings, I have still had this happen and I often end up taking damage or wiping, as I am unable to react to a mobs attacks quickly enough. On my old PS4, this could even cause the game to lockup and crash on me. It also pushed my PS4 so badly, that it eventually died on me, as the thing would always be screaming away as the fans tried to keep the unit cool.
I posted this here, as I am not sure what part of the English forums is the correct section for a query like this. As I mentioned above, I am not even sure if there are that many who would/need to regularly switch between a PC and a PS4. It's a very 1st world problem that's for sure.
Cheers,
Felix
