OK, hear me out. My husband plays on a PS5 and I play on a PC that can max out ffxiv at frame rates of 200+ fps. I also play on steam deck and let me tell you the steam deck version at times looks and runs better than the PS5 version of the game. As of right now the hubby is stuck playing the PS4 client just because it actually runs better than the PS5 version.

My problem is if the new CPU and GPU of the PS5 is on par with a midrange PC, then it shouldn’t have any problems running the game at 4K60 or 1440p 60 at least with settings on high or max. the RTX 2070 can definitely do that, and if they can’t do 4K they can at least do dynamic resolution or have 1440p textures and 4k menu like how i do it on pc.

It’s just a little disappointing knowing a PS5 can run light games like Fortnite and Overwatch 2 with high frame rates. And can run AAA games at 60fps with dynamic resolution. definitely need to work on the small things like optimization.
