[Suggestion] PS4 version.

[Sarick]

This is all to say that they did not just cut their losses and back off of the MMO market entirely and leave FFXI as is, or that they did not attempt to save FFXIV yet again, or something similar with their extra hypothetical income from FFXI:SoA.

This is the only thing I'm seeing is cutting, servers, cutting, staff, cutting play online features and cutting support. Despite having new expansion they seem to at the last movement decided not to support XP. This way if their updates screw stuff up or break the client they can say Opps, sorry we don't support that anymore. Go buy a new OS/computer. It's a lovely bad example of how much cost cutting is going on.

I highly highly very highly doubt a PS4 version is created. It's an investment that doesn't fit well with bean counters. The PC users can't even get a BOXED set for gods sake this essentially means they're trying to reduce overhead cost as much as possible. That and they slapped that last minute notice that on seekers expansion launch date "We no longer support XP" shows they're looking to limit the stress of supporting the older OS.

There is enough evidence that bean counters are in action. Like it or not FFXI might really be on the chopping block despite the new expansion. A PS4 version doesn't fit with bean counter bottom lines unless there is a sudden surge of high demand. LOL

Why should they care? When looking at popularity of online games FFXI and FFXIV doesn't even rank these days in comparison to other online games. As a result funding may be lower priority then we're lead to believe. There's just to much good competition out there for a company to get a foothold if they have bad service, design, promotion and/or support. Making a PS4 version wouldn't do squat unless they do things to make the MMO better then everyone else.

Other then this top 100 list I couldn't find FFXI in other top ten rankings. Not surprisingly FFXIV was no where in any of the list yet they planned on making it for PS3.
