PSA: Final Fantasy XIV Getting Switch 2 Update To Address Prolonged Loading
Key Points:
- The PS4 Pro's SATA III hard drive controller allows for significant loading time improvements when using a SATA SSD, unlike the base PS4 which has a SATA II controller limiting SSD performance.
- A used PS4 Pro combined with a used SATA SSD upgrade offers an affordable entry point into modern gaming, with cheaper physical games and improved load times, though not as fast as a PS5.
- Gameplay experience on PS4 Pro is enjoyable despite lower graphics quality and 30fps cap compared to PC, with customizable HUD and smooth performance.
- The in-game voice chat on the Nintendo Switch eShop version is surprisingly competent, providing a decent alternative for communication, though it does not fully replace Discord for the user.
- Minor bugs were noted, such as inverted camera settings resetting upon zone changes, requiring manual toggling in the settings each time.
