Why there still no PS3 version of FFXI

[Osmond]

That they not gonna waste time on rewriting the core, and transfering a 11 year old game over to PS3, specially since it is not worth the money that gonna be invested in it, look at how EU not even gets the ultimate collection while that is just a region lock that has to be changed, they will not be selling to much copies on PS3 to make it worthwhile. The X360 was released at a later date because they had to rewrite the info as to how the IBM processor reads data.

And they could of dropped the PS3 version of FFXIV least they know they can still make money out of it, since it is still new, they brushed out the flaws greatly, making it worth the money again pretty much.

Tho if they really wanted to make good money they would of released a HD version of FFVII on PS3 after that tech demo years ago, but they won't cause PS1 runs games differently then PS2, and PS3, so they would have to make the whole game from scratch, that is why VII, VIII, and IX are skipped cause X/X-2 are released for PS3/Vita soon (fall of this year i believe).[/off-topic]

I had no idea that they region lock on the EU. That's mad stupid imo. The PS3 version of FF14 gonna be pretty weird of it has all that frame issues. Well if the game doesn't sell well within a few months it could happen. I would see them making alot of money remaking FF7, 8, & 9 especially if ppl either kickstart or put up a voting forum to see who will buy it in limited copies....of course its not gonna happen.

actually if you still have a backwards compatible PS3 you can play FFXI on it. I did for a while cuz i didnt have a harddive for my PS2. just didnt look to good on the PS3.

Nope, don't have time to read every post.

Nope, don't have time to read every post.

But you still expect community reps to do so?

Besides, we're not talking about a needle in a haystack here. See that little box in the upper left there? I type "ps3 port" in there, click the little button, and right on the first page I find a relevant thread.

I know this isn't a new concept, but i figure we should keep complaining about it. I would really like to see XI released on the PS3.

It's nine pages deep and barely only five months old. And note the way even the parent post notes it "isn't a new concept."

You have said absolutely nothing that hasn't been said before by many people, loudly and repeatedly. You didn't even try to see if anybody else said the same thing (let alone said it better).

And thus the utility of these forums, to S-E and players alike, goes down another notch.

Yes, cause this is pretty much new, after all they are trying to please us to keep this game afloat....

I mean if that's not the case then why create a forum?

Honestly I think a port for the PS4 is more likely due to the change away from the PS3 cell processors. The PS4 will have a more PC-like and easier to use architecture.
