He can't confirm a stable 60 FPS because of the FATE system and being in a city with a lot of players in it. Still, 1080p/60 FPS is nice. I'll double-dip if there's a CE for PS4.

Interesting, most of the opinions I have seen seem to be pretty positive, and what I got to play of the beta did not really feel all that grindy.
Can you elaborate on your issues with the game?

The game's already been saved.
I've been playing since early access and I don't find it to be a broken grindfest mess at all. In fact it's been the absolute opposite.
But It's doing quite well.
Any resolution on PC is possible, depending on the setup.

It's quite possible, as the game is optimized exceptionally.

Well I have a level 50 Bard and Black Mage and all that's left for me to do is grind dungeons, there's no PVP and the Duty Finder is a buggy mess and don't get me started on the error 90K I get when finally getting into a dungeon after queuing for 2 hours...
I agree. Level 40 onwards and you routinely run out of quests, requiring you to grind out 1-2 levels to progress to the next main story quest.
I haven't played for an entire week because I'm level 47 and am dreading having to grind to 49 to progress the main story.
There simply isn't enough quest content.

Did you reach cap yet? Cause after you do it's basically running one or two dungeons over and over again for seals. Or you can FATE grind for 50 levels to level up a new class since you'll have already run out of quests before you hit 50 on your first class.
I believe the thread title refers to the current highest PC settings, while the PS4 won't get all of the upcoming DX 11 features.
I think you need help there sir.
No it isn't. The game is probably the best MMORPG on the market at the moment, and calling it a "grindfest" reeks of ignorance, as what's probably its most relevant flaw is that it's way too easy to level up fast.
No, it's not inaccurate. It refers to the current highest settings, and that's what Yoshida says, as the article correctly specifies. Since we can't see what the future highest PC settings will be, the title is plenty accurate.
I can't say you will like the game but retail has more contents than phase 4.

They said they'd rather shut it down than go f2p
I got to 50 before you sis?
I've mostly enjoyed the game so far, but I have run into some small grinding walls in my leveling (mostly around level 35-45). This is without skipping storyline, doing all the available duties, quite a few FATEs, etc. Sort of jarring coming from WoW, where there is literally zero grinding in the leveling process.
The most efficient way to level however is still grinding FATEs though, so I'm unsure as to why a lot of people in this thread are disagreeing with that grinding comment.

They tried to remove the grind but in the end it just made the problem worse. Dungeon spam, FATE spam. The story is the worst grind of all because it's boring as hell and unskippable. The game is chock full of filler content. It isn't even a fun grind because the game refuses to encourage social interactions. Hopefully it changes in the next expansion when they add some actual content.
Yup, got bored of the grind. I'll try again this week before I go back to uni.

A little OT, but is the only reason this isn't coming to Xbone/360 us because MS won't allow Xbox Players to play on the same servers as PS4/PS3/PC players? Did FFXI allow you to play with PS2/PC users?
After I got to 50 I started grinding fates with archer then stopped at 20+ lol
:X
40-50 leveling is def the biggest pain tho
It runs at 60fps on my rig when not much is going on on the screen. When things get congested (eg FATEs, towns, etc), the framerate will drop to the mid 40s. The PS4 version will do the same.

So you rushed to 50 on two classes, and now you're left with only the endgame, and you're blaming the game?
Yeah. Nothing to see here.

I believe the reason is related to XBL Gold fees. XI doesn't require you to have Gold (even now) and Square wanted the same deal for XIV. MS refused.
The "endgame" is like...a dungeon. Sounds like a reason to blame the game to me.

It's only really grindy above level 40.not enough quests and have to fate farm.

Cool, I am gonna hold off getting this until the PS4 version comes out. 60fps/1080p is what I was wanting
MS also refused cross-platform play, and SE doesn't want to split up the community.
If you buy the PS3 version you will get a free update to the PS4 version.

I wonder if you need PSN+ on the PS4 version since online MP is going to be behind a paywall on PS4?
It is grind - no one who played the game to end-game should disagree; however, what MMO isn't a "grind" in some aspects?
Yea it already runs at 1080p 60fps on capable rig, it's just that in towns or areas with more than few dozen of people the framerate will drop, which I think will be the case with the ps4 version. Considering most of the time you're in instance or playing with only a handful of players, it's not a problem.
