Improved load times are THE reason why I'm looking forward to the PS5 version.
As a Drg main I appreciate that my Job got to be the poster boy an expansion myself. I understand that not every Job will get that honor.
Unrelated, but Endwalker having the main protag become a paladin after he was a dark knight and the whole thing with the moon… isn't that reminiscent of a certain FF?
One thing I noticed is a dip in frame-rate when I entered Eulmore. I've set the performance on the settings that comes recommended. I didn't have this dip in frame-rate when I was using the PS4 Pro settings in the PS4 version. It's a bit disappointing considering how the graphics are barely noticeably better/sharper. Setting the game performance to the highest resolution was unplayable due to the frame-rate being around 30fps. Hopefully they will address these small issues in the finalized PS5 client.
I'm loving the upgrade to the ps5 client. It is a game changer.
The load time's way quicker now but you'll notice more pop-in. But that's because they made further objects load once you're in the zone to achieve that.
I'll take the fast load time over not having pop-in any day though lol
good to see it upgraded on current gen, means it's not going anywhere soon… gonna have to hop back in!
I hope they can optimize the 4k mode, and get as close to stable 60 fps as they can
Monster Hunter and FF14? Are you me?
Did Ruri make a beginner guide video to this game? I’m intrigued but I look at all those icons on screen and all this stuff going on and end up thinking I’ll just never grasp it.
I'm enjoying the PS5 'upgrade' for the most part, but I'm getting a fair amount framerate dips in various zones which is really jarring (I'm playing in 1440p mode). I really hope it's just an optimisation issue that will be fixed in the full release because the PS4 version runs flawlessly on PS5 no matter how many players are in an instance. I got to the Bozjan stuff yesterday and it's pretty choppy, sadly.
I would happily try it… BUT i've made the mistake of trying the game out back on ps3 (when the trial was time limited) and i'm not allowed to sign up for a free trial. sorry but i don't really feel like paying a subscription to a mmo just to check if it feels good to play all those years later
Omg !! You play XIV !?
Got a sony x900h which comes with a feature to smooth frame rates and is 120hz so I always play games in best graphics modes then the smooth feature on the tv makes the game 60fps. Just saying with a better tv you can already play the game 4k 60fps.
Edit: I also dont get any of the frame drops you were taking about in any area of the game.
I haven't played since 5.2…. i might have to give this a try on ps5. I swear the blurry textures were so offputting after playing demons souls and miles morales lol
Passage of arms the best animation? Nah gonna have to give that to FELL CLEAVE
Very nice, finally PC graphic level for PS players!
Ps5 doesn’t support 1440p though…
Does XIV have HDR support because the game looks kinda washed out on my 4K HDR display.
Just hoped back in for the PS5 version. Very well done.
Umm. there are restrictions on the trial which can be massively impactful to the social aspect of the game.
I'm thinking about buying the complete edition on the ps4
Is this the kind of MMO a WoW and SWTOR player could get into? All the abilities and transitioning to a controller seems brutal. Also, I am a solo player. This seems like a friend requirement game.
wow, this version actually looks competent. ive always played ffxiv on pc with a 1440p 144hz monitor. this actually looks fantastic. but i love the idea of slumping down into a couch and playing on a 4k tv. now if Sony would only allow me to actually buy their new console…. theres no way im playing this on the garbage ps4
How does keyboard and mouse work with ffxiv on ps5? It was difficult to use mouse on ps4.
i got a ps5 and i think i'm going to give this game an honest try lol
