Final Fantasy XI PS3 Version

ZOMFG! Imagine a Piano white slim with FFXI graphics on it? I would easily pay 350 bucks for that bundle!!

you must be getting some seriously crappy controllers if you think they are slower, seriously the PC has some of the best game controllers available for it, including PS3 and xb360 controllers, as well as some really good others

and it was SONY that killed the possibility of FFXI for the PS3 not SE

What is slower if the response the FFXI client on PC gives to controller inputs. It's a platform specific coding problem and has nothing to do with the game itself (inner workings of the game client) or the controllers design. More like crappy coding (which the PC version seems to be plagued with) on the inputs due to it work using a wrapper of sort design.

I switched to using the PC version ONLY for commodity and versatility since it's what works better under my current setup.

SE never wanted to make FFXI on the PS3 natively because SE don't want to re-tool it as a PS3 game. They said that it would be too much of a money and time investment, not justifying the effort. I feel like while the development team can drag the game around while it's still profitable, the upper management seem to want it gone so they can focus on newer projects.

from what I read about ffxi for ps3 the person that was incharge of getting converted into a HD version on the sony side left and then talks between the 2 companies broke down to the point that one says it was the others fault for not getting it off the ground. I don't think it'll ever happen unless the devs decide to completely redo the game code and re launch the game as a 2.0 model , but since FFXIV is coming to the system FFXI will continue to waste away till no one plays it ever again.

Come on SE, even the Krackers got a 2.0 version. Didn't Krack even get like a 5.0? lol

Bottom line, so long as they keep releasing new material in FFXI, people will stay interested and releasing a new expansion in 2013 will bring back old players that quit(i've seen it happen). If SE's upper management wants people to move on from FFXI, releasing new stuff won't do it. So just release a PS3 version and we'll all stop complaining.

I'm all for a PS3 version. Pretty sure it's not gonna happen, as XI is too far in it's life cycle to warrant anything like that, but it'd give the game a shot in the arm so to speak.
