Anyone ever tried FF XIV both on PS4 Slim and PS4 PRO?

[DeMolay145]

I'm looking to trade in my PS4 PRO for a Slim version since its cheaper and tbh the Pro isnt much of a big improvement.

I was wondering though how will it affect FF XIV. Are loading times longer? Will the game feel a lot worse?

Need to know from people who played both!

The slim is basically the same as the original PS4 with a slightly larger hard drive. So speaking from that end, I played on both the original PS4 and now on the PS4 pro. The differences are minimal, loading times are slightly shorter on the pro, but that's about it. It will be personal impression, though, as to if you think it's a LOT worse...

There is a better graphics setting on the PS4 pro you can use if I'm not mistaken. I've since switched to PC so it's been awhile since I've been on psn.

The graphic settings were added in the PS3 era when PS4 support came around, so both consoles can turn the graphical settings back to PS3 ones.

I was taking about higher quality settings on the Pro but I could be wrong it's been awhile.

This article is from over three years ago and talks about what I was referring to. (The article also talks about the free upgrade from the PS3 version to PS4)

When they added PS4 support, they added the option to turn on increased graphical quality. The main image I remember from the live letter was showing things like increased reflectivity on shiny wood floors, and it as an opt-in at the time. If they added more settings for the pro, I must have missed it.

You 100% get better fps on the pro. Without a doubt

The difference between PS4 Pro and a regular PS4 (which the slim basically is) is pretty substantial imo. Way better fps, loading screens are overall shorter and if you have a 4k TV you can improve your graphics further. I don't have that good of a screen to play on, but it looks and runs fine regardless.

I have slim and pro but I don't see any difference. Loading times are almost the same... sadly. Maybe you load 0.5 sec faster on pro...and that's all.
