It is difference from PC’s performance, but the loading of PS4 is later than PC.
Dungeons can’t start while all party members load have done, so there isn’t leave behind PS4 players.
You will feel time log to load when you teleport to anywhere.

You can customize it. 
If you want loading faster, you can customize a SSD.

Ease To Retouch Screen Shots

If you want retouch the screen shots from PS4, you need to post them on social media, like twitter, then save them on PC or to import them to a USB memory stick and put the screen shots in the PC.
PC, however, doesn’t need that process.

Bad Points For PC

Expensive

It cost over 100,000 yen so it is more expensive than PS4.

It is just barely enough computer’s performance to play FF XIV, it is better to play it on PS4.
In the future, system requirements will go up then it will be diffult to play it such a PC.

If you customize your PC by yourself, you should have knowledge about PC and its parts.
The person who doesn’t hve computer’s knowledge can buy built it to order PC, but it is better to learn the difference in computer’s performances.

When the system requirements will go up, you need to recompose it by yourself even if you buy built ti order PC.

If you want to play FF XIV easily or don’t think about the difficultly you just go for it, I recommend to play on PS4.

If you want to play competitive or want to play by high-performance, I recommend to play on PC.

There are no contents that can’t play on PS4, so if you can’t make up your mind which one to choose, it is okay to play on PS4.
