How the PS4 version of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn stacks up to the PC, PS3 versions

I was a pretty big fan of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on the PC. It’s a gorgeous massively multiplayer role-playing game with lots of variety and flexibility.

However, I wasn’t as enamored with the PlayStation 3 version. While technically the same game (PS3 and PC folk even play on the same servers), using a controller instead of a keyboard felt clunky. Worse, it just didn’t look very good on Sony’s aging system, especially when you compare it to someone running A Realm Reborn on a high-end PC.
