PS3 Version Bad Suprise

[Gilraen]

Actually, you'd be amazed how many people don't know how to use their TV. Most TVs these days don't have to be programed like before where antenna was a viable backup. With cable or satellite using converter boxes that are directly controlled to change channel the TV just need be plugged in and turned on. That said, I do have a computer that runs this game really well, I've set it up between High and Maximum and don't notice any slowdown or stuttering. I still got the PS3 version and prefer to play it over the PC version. I play both with a controller so there's really no change in how I play, it's largely about convenience. With the PC I'd have to boot into Windows and deal with a half hour of updating and restarting (I use Linux as my primary OS) before I can do anything. But more importantly, I don't care about the looks. I played FFXI on a PS2 then PS3 up until Adoulin. I don't think I'd have gotten into these games (XI and XIV) if it wasn't for the console releases.

I can deal with the screen cutting UI elements because they can be rearranged if need be. However, PS3 graphics and resolutions pale in comparison to PC. There is also a considerable frame-rate slowdown on PS3 during FATEs involving multiple large-scale enemies performing flashy abilities. I had a chance to play the PC version and it was simply beautiful. PS3 players don't know what they are missing out on. There is also significantly more screen realestate on higher PC resolution settings, which makes a huge difference

I really appreciate the posts on how to help this problem. But it is an issue with the game. On the PS3 version there are no display options to adjust anything. The lack of display options are the problem. Just because it works on your TV does not mean it works on My 55 in. HDTV. I do thank you for bumping the thread by giving your input though.

I think you are misunderstanding the people trying to help, the settings they are asking you to fiddle with are your TV's not the game's.

Im using an LG 48" with Just Scan and the gfx are piss poor compared to the pc. Ive use every seting on the tv AND the PS3 to help it out a lil but nothing works. The fram speed sucks, loading speed sucks, half the time i dont even see whats hitting me for like 30 sec. And in a FATE... OMG it takes 10 seconds for me to launch the first hit. I have 10mgs speed on my service so i know its not that. I know SE can do better then this... i just now it...

Bumping because I love this game and think that this problem can be fixed easily (when there is time of course, I'm sure the Server Issues are the only thing the Devs. care about at the moment).

I just want to add that no one is pointing blaming fingers. I am just suggesting a simple fix that would benefit many players. The fix is to add more adjustments to display game side.

This isn't necessarily in reference to the issues the OP is having, but I thought it was worth noting that during Beta there were many posts people made about how bad the game looked on the PS3 and how horrible the UI was it didn't fit on the screen, etc. Several times pictures were posted and it was quickly figured out a lot of the people that were professing how bad the game was on PS3 were using component/composite cables to hook their PS3 up to the tv and not HDMI and that was why it looked so poorly.

Personally, while a PC can push the graphics/frame rate much higher, I am very impressed with how well the PS3 runs this game when setup properly. As far as the OP goes, good luck getting your issues resolved - I hope in the end there is a simple solution. ^_^

Another note regarding some HDTV's. Some inputs have a post processing feature that will degrade your gaming display quality and in some cases input lag. Please refer to your manual to see what inputs may have post processing, and Google to see if it can be disabled. I have an LG HDTV and found that this occurs on some of my inputs. This is not an SE issue, as it affects ALL you games, regardless of console/PC. Just a tip.

The only thing I've seen bad about ps3 is the animations.. They are poor like a flip book.
