In a recent interview, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Director Naoki Yoshida mentioned that the PS4 version of the game would run at 30 frames per second in order to display as many characters as possible, but things may be changing.

Today the PS4 version of the game is playable at the “Full Active Time Event in Osaka” fan gathering that will culminate in the latest Letter from the Producer Live broadcast, and attendees are reporting that a switch towards 60 FPS.

For example twitter user NOnTaRo writes:

"The PS4 version runs at 60 FPS! It’s smooth!" -

PS4版 1080p固定。fpsは60に向けて調整中。30を切ることはまずない。揺れなどの物理もPCと同等。コンフィグの設定項目もPCとほぼ同じ。下手なミドルクラスPCよりお買い得でヌルヌル動く！ 高井ADより。 #FF14

Quite obviously we shouldn’t expect 60 FPS in every situation, as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is a MMORPG that can often display a considerable number of characters on screen. In this kind of game the load on the GPU is extremely variable and even a very beefy gaming PC struggles to hold 60 FPS in very crowded areas.

Since the reports come from event attendees and not from an official source, we should take this with a grain of salt until it gets confirmed by an official announcement or we see it running ourselves, but this is quite promising.

Another games on PS4 to have the "specs" upped.

DAT POWA.

I love this game, not playing it currently waiting the PS4 version so I can finish the trophies, sadly I cant comit to a MMO, dont have the time, otherwise Id play the hell out of this game. Also this game soundtrack is beyond amazing, bes OST in a videogame since Kingdom Hearths 2 imo.

If this doesnt effect ps4 games then 1080p 60fps focus is acceptable. But fans and gaming media have to understand that ps4 is also a console and has a limit. It might be most powerful console but I dont mind playing a good game in ps4 at 900p.

Notice the keyboard, the mouse and the Vita all hooked to the PS4, thats how you squeese the maximum power of your console, conect every sort of peripheral on it lol.

The controler is also, pluged, Is there enouth USB imputs to do that?

Or is that a debug/dev machine?

OT: Well, may be Infamous will catch it up.

Probably a debug machine, the PS4 only ahs 2 USB ports, wich is my main complain about it, kinda sucks if I want to conect my VITA I cant have both controlers charging, if I want a keyboard in need to remove the USB thinguy of one controler etc, its not very pratical, but it was liek that for the PS3 as well.

Thats nice, but i doubt it.

Crowded FATE's especially, are impossible to control unless they make other people disappear.

Either way, i might get it so i can do some crafting in bed on the Vita. Aside from that i am perfectly satisfied with my PC version.

Isn't this a given most devs will try 1080p and 60 fps? Not all will end up there but this is kid of obvious.

I read XV =(

This is going to be a hit in japan =3

Plus planetside 2 and dc universe, MMOBOX ?

Graphics are incredible on XIV but the subscription is keeping me away, and at the same time i'm hoping it won't go f2p because it would mean another fail for SE
