I think we should split PC From Console

[Hallarem]

A bit too late to fix this issue. This should've been fixed in the development phase. The console tax has already being carried and paid for year after year. So it is what it is.

Whoever is running the marketing team needs to get fired or their Sony deals reconfigured. They missed out a huge market for locking FFXVI on console only, by the time it released on PC nobody was interested in it and had watched the lets plays already. As mediocre and marred with the grand "formula" as 16 was too, wouldve still sold more if it was console AND PC. But Japan is still stuck in the console age, they only gave up floppy disks like... 2 years ago? And are still using fax machines. It's a land of many wonders, both 50 years ahead and 50 years behind at the same time.

At least the phone version will be done separately, so kudos to SE on that.

If truth is to be told, SE is just lazy. Although I'm always in favor of throwing off the shackles of consoles if it means less technical limitations.

Hahahahaha

Switch 2 version on the way btw

totally, which is why accessibility have been their highest priority (simplfified jobs and enchancing the solo experience)

[Ardeth]

We don't need to. There's only a few instances in hunts and exploratory content, and those can easily be solved by finding whatever goldilocks amount of time something has to be immune for so that the majority of people can get credit.

Splitting the community is stupid.

Do these folks realize how large of a playerbase there is on PS4/PS5? I've played on console my entire 11 years, from PS4 to PS5.

[Azurarok]

what is the argument here? That sony's holding them back with weird deals, some belief that console players aren't willing to communicate, the 48+ hotbar space controllers offer limiting skill count, not being able to install mods, issues with opening guides linked in chat?

Think there's better things to blame for the update schedule at least

[Kaurhz]

On the note of whether it should or shouldn't actually be done...

Doesn't matter, since they won't really know how to make use of anything. All they'll do is slice off some player base and do absolutely nothing to take advantage of not needing to design around PS4 specification.

[Masekase_Hurricane]

Isn't PS4 general support running out in 2026?

If so, I will assume that FF will do the same, but who knows...

If i remember correctly just before Dawntrail dropped it was stated it would most likely be the last expansion on PS4

Do these folks realize how large of a playerbase there is on PS4/PS5? I've played on console my entire 11 years, from PS4 to PS5.

They already dropped PS3 in the past and have hinted multiple times that the Ps4 will eventually follow suit. They will just give the ps5 version for free for a limited time.

Ps4 is not the problem you think it is

It was a little bit of a troll post to deflect hurt feelings.

[Jeeqbit]

Most likely they will drop support for PS4 with 8.0 in 1.5-2 years ish.
