PS5 performance issues

[EorzeaWanderer]

To the moderator who replied above, I appreciate the effort to help, but it is irresponsible to direct users to factory reset their PlayStation 5 console in an attempt to fix performance problems in your game.

The fact is that the PS5 version of FF14 has fundamental performance problems that are readily reproducible and have been documented by Digital Foundry. The PS5 version runs worse than the PS4 version on PS5, period. The devs must address this. While it is true that not all users are sensitive to these frame rate drops, for those that are the issue is clear as day.

I hope no one reading this thread performs a factory reset in an attempt to fix this problem. That would be a severe inconvenience and it will not help.
