FFXVI only PS5?

[Velvet_Lunarfang]

Your 3090ti costs more than the amount I outlined alone, never mind the other parts you need to actually have a functioning PC out of it.

Hardware performance in the PS5 is roughly the equivalent of a 2070/3060 on the nvidia side, the graphics card eats up nearly all of what the PS5 costs a user alone there.

But see I rather have something that will always outperform. Consoles can never catch up to PC's. That has always been and always will be. PC's can make games last 10x much longer then consoles when you can add mods etc to it that extends the life of a game. Consoles can never do that because consoles don't really like mods unless you mod your system which is a big no no. Plus PC has emulator programs etc if we want to play old games for free where consoles may support a few old games but charge you. That is the magic of owning a pc over console. Plus the PC community can fix issues in games where devs may have forgotten or refused to fix, can't do that on console

The only issue with PC is theres only so much you can store in it along with constant maintenance.

Its why its much better to have a sole gaming platform since the average consumer really only has one PC which is used for everything besides just gaming.

They said the game will take longer than the 6 month window to optimize for PC anyway regardless of the exclusivity deal. If we waited on a PC release we wouldn't see this game anywhere until 2024.

I have a PlayStation 5 but won't be getting XVI for it, I'd rather wait for the PC release for a better experience, I'll just have to avoid spoilers until then which is almost impossible with so many articles online.


I have XIV for PS5 but it looks so much inferior to PC that I can't stand playing for more than a few minutes, it would seem that my only use for the console is to play Gran Turismo 7 which is an exclusive but hopefully will come to PC eventually.

How pc ports have been lately I am starting to think about going back to consoles. I will be honest I rather buy a system that I know will play the game out of the box than the stress I go through with every pc game. The most recent example has been hogwarts legacy. I was excited to play the game and did every pc test to see if my system could handle it with min requirements and passed every one of them. I was so disappointed when I got to the school and saw my fps jumping all over the place and I couldn't take two steps without the game completely freezing. I also heard the dead space remake and the new soul-like game Wo Long:Fallen Dynasty are also poorly optimized. Seems like devs are now taking the lazy way to pc ports and not even optimizing them for systems...I bet the ff16 port will have the same issues so I most likely will buy a ps5 just for it since I know I be able to play it stress free.

Bruh, FFXIV PS5 looks almost exactly the same as on native PC with High/Standard Graphical settings.

I have an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor, 32GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon RX 6600, which imo are pretty above average specs to run the basics of FFXIV and I STILL, I repeat STILL! Get some chugs, slow down in PvP and crowded areas as well as long load times between zones. PS5 version runs the game much more smoothly with consistent performance and those super fast loading times between areas are just too good.

The only reason I still stick with PC version for the most of the time is due to having an easier time to type in chat with my keyboard but its embarrassing how the console version gives a much smoother experience than my PC, at least with my specs.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say with this post though? If you're trying to argue PC is superior I don't think anyone would argue. After all you get what you pay for. But at the same time, it's better to pay for what you need. Like ... sure, a Ferrari is always better than a Toyota, but also cost a lot more. If you're someone who desire a Ferrari and have use for it and can afford it ... sure, go ahead. But for a lot of people, a Ferrari is nothing more but an excess.


Like, I'm sure no one will turn you down if you just gift them a gaming PC for free, but most people who like to game on Console only because that's enough gaming for them, and a console is the appropriate amount of investment for what they want. You can eschew as many virtues of the PC as you want, just like someone can tell me all the greatness of a Ferrari ... it's all a moot point because I don't need it, and as such see no reason to pay through the nose for it.

And I'm saying that as a PC guy, the "latest" console I have is a PS4 that I bought 2 years ago when the PS5 came out.

I like how this thread just became another age old PC Master Race vs Plebian Console Peasant

Became? It always was.

but the thing about console is most things they are doing require a monthly upgrade for online stuff to play whereas PC doesn't have to. I just want exclusive titles to be done with it's 2023 and exclusive titles just earns them less money since they are focused on one party and not multiple

There's an interview on MP1st where Yoshi explains the exclusive by saying "This time, we are developing together with a group of SIE engineers who know the basics of hardware, and we have received generous support for optimization that we cannot easily do on our own.

In addition, by not developing on the premise of multi-platform, man-hours can be invested in creation and optimization."

It seems they received actual optimization and engineering support for making the game from Sony.
