PS3 Performance

[De4dd0g]

So I played my friends ps3 version of ffxiv today. Is that really the best SE could do? Seems like the performance is trash and they have visual effects of rain. The fps I bet never goes over 20-25. Way too many visual effects for a slow running console. Terrible design by SE porting it over. Should have adjustments to enhance the FPS.

Having not played a PC Game scince diablo 2 this is better gfx then most games currently out and a solid 30 fps idk why ppl like to bash it especially when the big problems it has are the same ones PC has monsters rendering in fates over non party player chars and eggis.

I understand that it's an MMO but I REALLY think SE could have done better with the PS3 version. I play primarily on PC but I do have a PS3 copy so here's hoping to future optimization because as of now it looks like someone smeared doo doo on my TV.

You know what I'll second this because as of right now PS3 sucks when in fates with idk how many people 50-100 or more the mobs all disappear, the PS3 hotbar sucks, Targeting is horrible turn the filter on so I don't have to target party members but I'm still stuck with targeting EGI's. Lots of stuff wrong with PS3 I played P3 on PC then when they opened it to PS3 I switched but I never went past level 20 did a dungeon or even partied up with anyone. I don't want to be that guy but now I see what everyone was saying about PS3 limitations....... If they can fix the Hotbar by giving us another option I might stick with this game but idk.

I'm not sure what everyone was expecting. It's a port of a PC game running on 7 year old hardware.

I played both the PS3 and PC version during beta and I gotta say, the difference in FPS is pretty huge, everything felt sluggish on PS3, I was originally going to purchase the PS3 version since I got the PC version for free (legacy account) but at it's current state, I just didn't find the PS3 version enjoyable. But then again, maybe this really is all the PS3 is capable of? Or, like someone else said, they could have added even lower graphics settings for the PS3 version.

I have to agree the ps3 version is lacking a lot the targeting system and the not being able to see monsters/players in fates is pretty much my biggest issue the controls I have gotten used to. (it's almost impossible for me to be a tank or a healer with this targeting system)

yea I kind of wished that they would of used the control system from Tales of xillia

I don't think PS3 is that bad. I used to have a gaming notebook and the old FFXIV graphics looked amazing and ran amazing. Of course, I can't compare now because now it's a different game and I only have a PS3. I do notice a little bit of lag, but I think it's acceptable since we are working with dated hardware. If a PS4 version is ever released, I would have higher expectations.
