It definitely happens with reasonably high end pcs for odin and behmoth, of course it depends how many people there are, its not uncommon for me to see at least a hundred or so people during those fates.
In my experience, joining in Large Fates can be difficult, but there are solutions for PS3 players that you can exploit in order to get a boss to display. Firstly, get close to where you think their body is. While this may put you in harm's way, it is a sure fire way to get them to appear since the game has to prioritize an enemy that is threatening to hit you with an avoidable attack. You can also join parties, which will not only allow you to heal the members of your team regardless of whether or not they're displayed, but it'll also make it easier to get gold.
Keep in mind that the PS4 is an even stronger beast than the PS3 and will undoubtedly have few issues with the game barring those that are server-based.
I can stand on top of Svara in that FATE and NEVER see it. Once I was able to get over 20k xp out of that quest, now, I'm lucky to see 2k. And that is only because one of the adds appeared and I could get a few whacks in.
When I can't see the boss, I start casting Cure. I look for the tank and start healing the tank. But this only yields xp IF you were able to smack the add or a boss once.
Someone mentioned not being able to see the FATE turn-in NPC. That "just" started happening to me last night. And for the past week, I have an invisible choco. Don't tell SE, they will make it a VIP reward.
I'm not happy.

This is just wrong. There is a hard cap in the game that has nothing to do with pc specs. I have a very good pc that runs anything in this game at high Fps and still have Odin/behemoth loading issues along with everyone I've ever talked to.
The FATE failure rate for me is about 1/20. Its not that bad.
PS4 has 8 gigs of ram vs 512 megs, trust me. It's going to be much better.
I wanted to say that I tested this over the weekend. I play on PC and my wife plays on PS3. She does get frustrated with the fates not loading properly (currently at the Ceruleum Factory fates so huge traffic here) and one thing that was noticed is if I mark the targets, they almost always load within two or three seconds of my marking (the 1,2,3,chain,ignore). So basically I run in flash a few enemies to load them, attack a few times then spend most of the fate using my "mark everything" macro so that I can get as many things marked as possible. Since doing this she is getting consistently more golds because she can actually see the mobs before they die. Same with the Dark Devices fate during Phase 3/4 as well as Gorgimera. Takes about two mins without marking...once marked appears within ten seconds.
While this is not a fix, it is a work around. In fate parties ask if someone can be nice enough to mark enemies/bosses for you as this helps your load time until SE can fix the culling/priority load issue...if its something that can even be fixed.
