PS5 pre order bonus

Because the PS4 client won't have the settings to run it at 4k/60fps? A PS5 client should be tuned to what the PS5 can do instead of the PS4..

It’s possible they could do PS5 patches like how they are doing with PS4 Pro

If FFXIV does make its way to PS5, I do wonder if it'll take advantage of the system's power.

[Zfz]

Absolutely no way. FFXIV will forever be limited by the lowest spec system it targets, and in this case it will be the vanilla PS4, which was released in 2013, a whooping 6 years ago.

I just don't see FFXIV drop PS4 support until maybe 2 or even 3 years into PS5.

The lowest spec system is not the ps4, Google the specs and you can still find budget laptops that people will be playing this game on.

I think maybe I've misrepresented my thoughts.

I wanted to say that on the console side, even when PS5 is released, PS4 will still be on the list of supported consoles. And since Square Enix insists on an equal experience across all platforms and on all hardware specs, it's likely that they won't make full use of PS5's powers, just like right now they don't make use of the full power of any reasonably mainstream gaming PC, because they "cap" their gaming experience on what a PS4 can provide on a Full HD resolution.

I just don't see them target anything significantly more powerful than the vanilla PS4 in the forseeable future. At least not until their player hardware data indicate to them that most of their console players are on PS5 already, which is probably like another 3-4 years away.

Yep
Also, Zfz that's not correct
This game is not a port its just cross platform, if a 4000$ custom build rig runs this at 4k "true" ultra wide HDR at 100+ fps then the ps5 absolutely will.

[VictorTheed]

Anyone know if they announced when ps5 is scheduled to be released or have an idea, I'd like to know cause currently I got no clue.

Plus anyone know if The Last Of Us 2 is gonna be a ps5 exclusive or if it's coming out next year on PS4?

[Zeonx]

its going to be backwards ain't it so I don't see them making a ps5 edition.

unless they do then it would be AWESOME here's to hoping though.

Again I think it’s mostly likely they will do a patch for PS5 probably allowing it to run at full 4k/60 FPS with maybe more settings turned on then a full brand new PS5 version

[Zfz]

I was talking mostly about the game experience, such as UI usage etc. Even if they let you run true 8K, you're still going to sit with the same UI (maybe a better looking version, but still the same) just because they need that UI to run at a good performance on the vanilla PS4. That's really what I was trying to say.

So you can have all the performance in the world, and you may see a more beautiful screen, but you'll still essentially be having the same experience as the guy with a vanilla PS4 because that's their design philosophy.
