PS3 settings + performance

[maTyaR]

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if there were any particular settings in the game (or outside of the game) to improve the performance or quality while I'm playing. As it is right now I have done the minimum of turning off the effects of everyone that is not myself or the people in my party but I still find myself having some issues with loading and animations and what not.

That is to say, when I run into a zone on chocobo or what have you, it will sometimes take 10seconds for the NPCs and PCs to load on my screen. As well, sometimes when I use skills my character will stand completely still until I get through about 3/4 of a combo (three or so moves) in which he will just pick up as if nothing has happened!

I'm not to sure if there are any settings that can be adjusted on the PS3 specifically but any ideas would be great.

Thanks.

It sounds like a latency (character popping/loading delay) to me. It could possibly be the servers at this time (due to the heavy congestion of players we're having right now).

Does this issue still occur during non-peak hours? If it does, then it is definitely a PS3 or ISP-related issue. You may possibly have the same problematic ISP throttling issue as other players are also noticing it.

Try at non-peak hours and see if the issue persists.

If you notice the PS3 HDD trying to load the characters/animations, then you can't do much as its a console hardware limitation. Hopefully they'll have an update this issue soon.
