Is anyone else playing the PS4 beta? I enjoyed the PS3 version but found that if more than 20 characters, PC's or NPC's, were on the screen simultaneously, anything over 20 would simply not be displayed at all. This made RP and other group events very challenging. I promised my brother that he could have my PS3 when the PS4 came out, a decision I'd made without having FFXIV in mind. Giving up my PS3 forced me to play on my laptop. My crappy lappy gets 7-11 fps in capital cities on minimum settings. Fun times.
As the PS3 is the finest viewing experience I'd had in this game, the PS4 version is jaw-droppingly stunning. Smooth gameplay, sharp graphics, no stutter... it's great. I'm sure it isn't as stellar as running the game on a sweet gaming PC with everything maxed out, but it's a huge improvement from my previous experiences.
My only gripe is that it's still just a beta. I can't paly with anyone I currently game with and ultimately nothing I do matters. That and I won't get to play it for REAL until April 14. Still, just seeing the gaming experience ahead of me has me excited. It'll be nice to actually be able to start running end game content.
