Some FFXIV on PS5 (via BC) videos
- Thread starter signal
- Start date
Nice to see. Though it's hard to go back to console after beefing up PC. Playing the game at max settings at 1440p while getting around 100fps, there's no reason to play it elsewhere.
This - loading times look great, but mine are pretty good on PC already, and I get 1440p/100+ FPS on PC.
Yeah. I'll hold off on console, even if/when they put out a PS5 version. Unfortunately while I have a 4K tv, it doesn't support 120hz, so even if they upped the FPS, I wouldn't be able to take advantage of it anyway.
Looking forward though to see what they do with at least a PS5 patch to take better use of the SSD and drive loading times down further for console players.
Oh my God bless you for posting this! I've been trying to find what the BC is like and it is very nice! Hopefully hunt trains are a little more manageable when loading into the zone. The frame rate looks much better too!
That's FFXIV on a SSD, alright.
Download the game and sign in, and you're good.

Not to mention mod and parser support (at your own risk). But having this in one's back pocket is still great, especially for those of us who play on controller anyway.
Shouldn't even need to download game should be able to move to external storage right then transfer over to internal SSD?
I would be interested in trying it on PS5 if I weren't already relatively invested in the PC version. That said, I don't know if I could ever adapt to the controller settings. I'm not a PC gamer by any means but MMOs, for me, have to have a keyboard and mouse. You PS players are wizards! (or Black Mages, in this case.)
Great ! Thank you !
Will simply redownload.

I'm sure you could do that, too.
If you're using a disc on PS4 and got the diskless PS5, there's this to do, also.
Sigh. When they announced and Xbox version of 14 last December I thought for sure it would be out by the 2.0 rework and the console launch at the latest. Fucking covid.
I just know as soon as I have to go back to raiding on my original ps4 I will break and buy a ps5 earlier than I wanted to, dammit
The pro modes are just 1440/30 or 1080/60ish right? Not both? Is it unlocked enough for a chance to boost mode utsway there before the compatibility patch?

Your character is saved on the server but there are a few locally stored settings that need to be backed up to the server.
"Character settings are not automatically transferred. To transfer your character settings data, you will need to use the Server Backup function to back up your data, which can then be restored on the PlayStation®5.
Learn more about the Server Backup function."
The game doesn't support HDR in any way but there are some PC specific settings like hbao+ and so on which don't exist in the PS4 version.

It's funny you say this, because I feel the exact opposite. I don't know if I can adapt to mouse and keyboard. I've tried many times before, and while I can get it working at a basic level, I play much worse than on a controller.
I think, for me, I've been playing WoW since it launched so I had to learn it then and now it's the only way I can play it or FF. When I tried the PS version of FF years ago it was like my brain just broke - I couldn't get used to it at all lol.
Does it even matter considering you can use m/kb on consoles and controller on pc?
Well, it does to me since I'd have to buy another license and lose access to the progress I've already made but go off I guess
you don't lose progress if you link both to the same account.
You don't lose any progress PS and PC use the same servers and account.
okay
regardless, I'm playing on my PC.
I was just complimenting people who can use the controller anyway so....
It doesn't support it, I think this is just PS5 auto HDR container. Trust me I have wanted them to support it for a while it just feels so flat on my PS4 Pro compared to some of the games. Curious how the HDR scaler on PS5 might work on this if it does. But I really, really hope that is something they are looking into supporting leading up to the next expansion release. I want blinding sunrises dammit!
I mean i play on PC and always use a controller i think the game works great with it in fact i think it's even better then m/kb.
I'm not sure what your issue is here with what I said. I, meaning "me or myself", said that, again, -I- could not use the controller and that I was impressed by others who could. That's it. I'm glad you think it works great because I wasn't insulting it.
You're trying to twist this into some weird diss against the controller and I suggest you reread my original post which is not aggressive or mean spirited at all.
I imagine this is a massive upgrade for console players. The nice benefit is that you'll see so much more of the environment as well.
The UI looks surprisingly sharp. I know there's settings for higher resolutions, so maybe it's just that? Looks sharper than on 1080p unless I've forgotten how it should look like due to being stuck on a laptop as of late.

Having played mmo's with mouse+kb since forever it took me quite a while to grind the muscle memory for controller in XIV too, and adapting to new jobs and bind changes is still way easier for me on m+kb, I still play with pad on tv occasionally and when doing gathering and stuff, but having played with both, just for raiding m+kb just feels better with targeting,mouseover macros and being able to wiggle the camera when needed(like avoiding gaze attacks while maintaining full uptime)
God no i think you misunderstood i apologize if that seemed hostile i just wanted to highlight how easy it is to play this game on a controller compared to any other mmo out there and the pc/ps crossplay is also pretty great.
Yeah, I think too I can have similar keybinds and set ups to WoW - which obviously I don't play on a TV - so it's easier for me to kinda keep it as "balanced" as possible. I know that's weird in a way since obviously there's different characters, classes, and abilities but I can set things up to be as similar as possible and it makes it easier for me to jump in and out of each.
Lol I'm the opposite, I found a way to add the cross hotbar from ffxiv onto WoW been playing it with a
Controller for last few months using consoleport/wowmapper
No, the frame rate is capped on the base game so nothing can't be done without a patch.
