PS5 beta

[Ramesses]

With all due respect, not all players are sensitive to frame rate fluctuations.

For many of us, the poor frame rate/constant stuttering was obvious immediately upon starting up the PS5 beta version and unfortunately nothing has changed since.

It's bad even on the 1080p setting; the resolution settings don't seem to change much.

This has been documented by Digital Foundry as well:

--> Go to around 29 minutes in for a typical example of how different it is. Constant judder and frame drops plague all hub areas, even housing wards.

In any case the PS4 version running on the PS5 is the smoothest experience right now if you're on console.

Wait-- hold up, stop right there-- what? That is utter nonsense.

What is even more alarming is the fact that you are using a single video from Digital Foundry to support your argument-- just so we are all very clear, you do realize that Digital Foundry has come under repeated fire for intentionally falsifying performance videos on the PS4 Pro and PS5? You also realize that many gamers have called them out for intentionally making misleading console performance videos to grow their channel through clickbait and polarized media mongering?

They are a very disreputable source of performance information on consoles and there are at LEAST two or three other very well-known unbiased you-tube channels that call them out on their crap-- go online and do your own research on this.

I've played this game on all three consoles (PS3, PS4 Pro and PS5) and I can categorically tell you that FFXIV runs smoother than butter on my PS5 console-- heck, there are multitudes of PS5 FFXIV players who stream on Twitch or post their PS5 videos on twitter and the game looks (and feels) great. In addition, here are a few you-tube video examples of other players having no issues:

• Main Quests on PS5
  
• 24-Person raid on PS5
  
• Playing Endwalker on PS5

Your argument and stipulations about the stuttering or poor frame rates (since the beta?) would have been justified if you simply posted up your own video of the issue here on the forums and a lot of us would have posted up several suggestions to on how to troubleshoot your issues.

Rather, you're posting potentially highly falsified second-hand fluff as gospel for your issues even though there are literally mountains of FFXIV videos exhibiting the solid sheer performance of the PS5 (even in high volume areas like 24-person raids or in Limsa).

Like I said-- post your own videos from your own PS5 and several of us can walk you through some suggestions that will vastly improve your console's performance.
