It's only jarring when you switch back and forth. I dropped it to 30fps to mess with photo mode with better shadows. Then forgot to put it back to 60fps, still forgot while playing today. Jarring for a few minutes, then you don't notice anymore unless you are looking for it.

I do keep noticing the difference between the softness of the pre-rendered cinematics and in game cinematics. Too much AA or maybe it's the compression. What fps are the pre-rendered cut scenes in? I can't tell :/

The same thing happened to me yesterday. Spent 5 minutes taking a screenshot in photomode, then completely forgot i was in 30fps mode for the next 20.

The effect is a lot different on PC of course. The combination of a screen near my face and using a mouse makes 30fps very noticeable. I'm happy enough with 40 - 60 though (which happens pretty frequently in FF14, when running around busy locations).

The only thing worse than 30fps on PC is 720p... i tried it once... *shudders*

PC is unforgiving, indeed with the mouse you can turn much faster and strafing is more natural as well which makes any bit of screen tearing highly noticeable. When using the pc on a projector with a controller 30fps is not a problem either, resolution and screen tearing are though. Why is there even an option to send unfinished frames to the display, barbaric :)
