Will it be cross platform or console exclusive worlds?

Yeah, because Microsoft doesn't want crossplay with Sony.

Yeah sorry, I prefer a fresh start and not having to go against PC players who already sank considerable amount of time into it, mainly the reason why I skipped FF XIV for PS4.

There is a reason why... Skill gap with a keyboard and mouse is much higher then with a controller.

In ffXIV you could tell who was playing on a console it was so obvious.

There is a considerable open world PVP element in this game, and even if all things are equal, PC users will absolutely destroy the console population due to keyboard and mouse superiority alone.

In fact, I have no idea how console players will be able to marshall and direct masses of players to attack and defend without zone an active zone chat.

Dont expect an ES this is produced by Zeni, and it is an MMO. But if your a fan of the Elder Scrolls Lore and a fan of MMOs definatley pick it up.

Played it for a while on PC with my wife. Level 40 now. It's really a great game! Don't listen to the haters that played only a buggy beta.
facts:
-best looking mmo to date
-the only mmo with quests that make you feel like you play a single player game
-best looting!
-awesome combat
-awesome pvp
-HUGE world (just the pvp area is same size as whole TES:Oblivion)

I Highly recommend it! Gonna transfer to xbox one from pc once it's out.

Only thing I worry about is framerate. I have a monster pC and yet in big battles or busy cities it can drop framerate to 20fps at times. It's normal for a PC MMO but I wonder how they will resolve it on consoles. Probably unlocked 60 fps like neverwinter on xbox one.

I'd say with ps4 being the more powerful console and having the bigger install base, if any one of the two consoles has a higher fps it will be ps4.

I expect both consoles to be around 30 fps in cyrodil and in the cities. It wouldn't surprise me if the whole game was locked at 30. I am sticking on pc though, I don't think anyone on my friends list will continue to play this so I don't want to transfer my character over.
