Will FFXIV be on Ps5

[Zeonx]

Most likely XIV will be developed for PS5

Again, PS4 is likely to be dropped some time after, once it becomes too limiting for design.

XVI won't be an MMO, as it has been stated that there will not be another Final Fantasy MMO while XIV is still making money. Also, keep in mind that due to being a reaction to XIV no longer making money, it will take time after this occurrence before a new MMO has been made due to how long it takes to actually make one, so you'd be looking at quite possibly at least 3-4 FF titles after XIV dies.

As far as the main series goes, I really could see them mostly consisting of single player experiences with exceptions like XI and XIV. While the spin off titles would include the co-op adventures. Given this is kind of their formula and it has worked ever since the first Final Fantasy (Which was named such as they were going bankrupt and thought it would be their final game, but it ended up being so popular that it renewed the company due to how profitable it was)

I'd like to see 16 be a co-op 4 player game with a huge world to explore like a Semi action RPG something like FFXV no limitations on where to run if I want to walk away from my teammates I can and meet back with them where ever I go.

Comrades was a great concept but problem was when watching my cousin play the bonus screen that pauses you before a mission became annoying, the camera man always talking before you went to table was too much and finding other players should of been its own list on the side.

Well just think... with FFXV we're halfway to FFXXX ;P

Yeah but would they call it that or think of a clever way to skip that title lol

Probably make people think there will be some clever theme to it with that title and then throw everyone off when they find loopholes in stuff and it ends up a completely unrated MMO using a dive interface so you're actually in your character... >.>

And then... stuff can get really weird...

How are you getting that? On my Sony x900e my Pro shows up as PlayStation 4 in the Bravia Sync menu

I get this on my LG TV in the menu where I can select the input source.

Sony (Cerny) has now, more or less, confirmed that PS5 will have PS4 BC. With this people should be able to play FFXIV on PS5 on day 1.

The framerate on the PS4 client is unlocked so the PS5 will most likely be able to boost the performance to 4K/60fps.

It seems bananas to me that Yoshi would realistically have time to oversee TWO separate MMO projects...

My secret hope is that the 2nd project is actually another rework of FFXIV optimized for PS5/PC. Since the "spaghetti code" of 1.0 is often cited as a reason why implementing new features is difficult. Of course, I wouldn't expect to see this released/implemented until 6.0 (2021 or 2022... lol).

[Tsukino]

Sure, but it will have a completely separate set of text files that remove all references to sex.

I bet on PS5 just backward compatible with PS4 and you can play same XIV you have now.

If and when PS4 support will be dropped, we'll likely to see other kind of improvements, as happened when PS3 dropped and max number of concurrent objects incrased to PS4 specs.
But about overall graphics goodies improvements, they have already been ruled out because the cost is simply too much to ever think at it, too many assets are to be redone.

I guess we'll see better overall graphics on next FF MMO. Let's kiss clipping goodbye? xD

this is exactly what is going to happen..
PS5 is going to be built on the PS4 architecture.
PS5 will be backwards comparable.
PS5 was announce the other day.

[Neoyoshi]

will it be on the ps6? or the ps7?

My expression captured to a T with this topic. It's just exhausting at this point. xD
