FFXIV's performance does not scale infinitely upwards, you're hitting engine limitations, not hardware limitations.

All I can read from this is that not even the mightiest of CPUs can deal with the eldritch abomination that is Limsa.

Holy crap, the billboard thing just made primetime. Hoeg Law (one of the folks in the loose collective of "lawtube" lawyers, most well known for recently covering the Depp v. Heard trial) just did a vlog on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiWHa04qugU

lol what? No. You're dealing with something fairly unique to the MMO space, with a processor that may as well be a two-year old Lamborghini. It's your money/I don't pay for your components but upgrading to a 5xxx because you're CPU bound in Limsa is :psyduck:

Come on, I've been trying to justify an upgrade since they came out! Are you in league with my fiancée?

But yeah, I'll wait for AM5 and the FFXIV 7.0 overhaul before I spend a lot more optimizing for it.

I’ve got a 3950X, but I’ll keep an eye on CPU utilization, thanks. Maybe it’s time for an upgrade…

lol that's a hell of a chip, and not a particularly old one i think. i'd guess, while the game can take advantage of multiple threads, it's hitting an issue from single core performance and you're not gonna get a proportionate amount of perf for the money you put in.
That said I recently upgraded to a 12700k from a 6600k and went from 45ish fps to 90-95 in limsa, but thats the only place I had with a dramatic jump like that. But on the other hand trying to make purchasing decisions based on the limsa plaza seems like a fool's errand

I mean, if you want to upgrade for the fun of it, do it! Nothing wrong with that. But because you can't view 100 dancing catgirls at frame locked 144Hz? :reject:

Limsa also depends on the server, on Gilgamesh and Balmung and the like I bet Maximum players gives 60-40 FPS even to the beefiest PCs.

That reminds me I'll try out the Data Centrel travel once it's calmed down and I finish levelling RDM to 70 to buy Eureka stuff lol what else would I use it for?

5800X3D gets me about 100 fps while looking at the busy Limsa aetheryte crowd. I doubt it gets much better than that.

Tfw when you finally get to DC travel to Balmung and when you go to sign your friend's guestbook you find out they died. :smith: I was wondering why I hadn't heard from them since April. Met them way back in FFXI.

So poo poo, one consequence already of the billboards fiasco is the Anamnesis team is internally discussing making it so you can't wear unreleased things, which is a huge goddamn bummer.

Thankfully it's still easy to edit the id numbers and do it yourself if they do do that, but it's still a lovely consequence for gposers and picture takers.

For many years, I had the Paissa design for my medium personal house. It's one of the best. Unfortunately, when I upgraded it to a large, I had to switch it because the large Paissa house sucks.

In-universe lore, all the player housing wards are explicitly for adventurers, who are noted to have... eclectic tastes. There's no homeowner associations in place in part because the various nations wish to encourage peoples from all over to have a reason to stick around doing their odd jobs and monster hunting their regular forces can't be spared for. So I can only imagine this as someone roleplaying as one of those people who always send you to investigate the local housing district, except that they then go on to become an adventurer themselves purely to obtain said local housing, but they're still unsatisfied because there's all these ADVENTURERS around!

My RP Canon: I'm a dumb lizard from fantasy mongolia I like adventure and friendship and comedy

Some People's RP Canon: I think this society of xenophobic isolationists is on to something here. How can I use this to aggressively police others?

Actually RPing an old-fashioned elezen traditionalist who gets flustered by everything new and modern that young people like is comedy gold if you go to the venues and give other people something to bounce off of and ham up being a fuddy duddy(and gradually warm up.) This dude just hates fun and literally roleplays Kahn from King of the Hi... no, that could be funny too. Is this guy some HOA narc irl? :v:
