If someone lives on the WoW forums instead of playing the game, 20/7 there is something wrong.

The game cant expand infinitely; it needs to reform first.
FF can’t load 40 people onto one screen.
It can’t load a large hunt train. It’ll even fade the enemy out if there’s enough people.

Neat, I’m just going by your own measurements.
I think I’ve probably seen 40 people just in the Inn room at the starter city.

You can also increase the amount of people on your screen. There’s a setting for that specifically in the system configuration.
Anyone who says that FFXIV can’t handle 40 people on-screen hasn’t been to Limsa Lominsa during the evening.

Anyone who says it can hasn’t tried to do a large hunt train at launch and not even be able to attack the Mark because it disappeared as the engine limited models on screen.
Look, I love FF, but there’s no point in lying about things. I’ve played both games since launch and am subbed to both right now. I even played during dreaded 1.0 and have the 10 dollar sub and legacy chocobo to show for it.
But I’ve seen 40 people…at the same time…like, the moment I log in? Do I seriously need to record it?
Maybe it’s 41 that starts fading, I was just pulling a number out of my bum.
But FF can’t handle large groups and starts limiting models it displays, its freaking annoying. I’d rather take wows lag at 80 people over ff’s just not letting you attack a mob.
One thing I’ve seen in FF 14 is that having 20+ players does not seem to reduce my FPS drastically compared to WoW but I think this more due to FF 14’s closed instance model for each area and WoW being a open area in most of the expansions.
WoW’s world design also isn’t the best in terms of optimization, no matter how good your PC is some areas tank you your FPS.

Yeah I was guessing maybe it’s because WoW renders the world as well in addition to the city. But in oribos there’s no excuse.

I generally don’t have issues in oribos, but in ardenweald…
FF also is a console game, so if you think about it, optimization is probably even more important for them.
Through HW it was designed around a freaking PS3.
To be fair, the PS3 has one of the most powerful processors designed for a console. The current ones barely even match it’s capability.
But from what I heard it was a nightmare to program on
This is like saying, “No one must be playing divinity original sin 2 because no one is streaming it.”
Single player experiences like the main story quest are BAD STREAMING CONTENT.
Tell that to 110k viewers who show up to see a streamer (not naming him) play through the main story quest.

It was more that, ps3 was already near EoL when FF ARR came out and only had about 500mb of system ram that was split between video and cpu.
That was during a time when most pcs had 4-8gig dedicated system ram and 512-1g video.
Those people are Asmon fans.
Asmon is uniquely good at making boring stuff entertaining.
He’s the exception that proves the rule.
