PS3 and PS4: Any Hope?

[Vil]

It would be cool if this could go to the PS3 , but i believe microsoft and square got a contract in place that prevents this game coming out to the ps3. Since this is the only xbox360 game that allows cross platform play with pc,ps2 and xbox360 users and can play on a xbox silver account.

Now maybe they can emulate it on the PS4 , but i am not familar with there contract i just remember reading was like a 10 year contract exlusive on next gen console. For ff11.

Also ff14 is amazing anyways now , for the ps3 and the videos from there E3 booth of it running maxed setting on PS4 just crazy. should give that a try.

It's not so much a contract, but moreso the difficulty in porting it to the PS3. Back then Tanaka said, "instead of reworking XI to be ported to ps3, we'd rather make something new." That something new was XIV.

I think they'd have to do a lot of fundamental changes to the code for it to be able to be played on ps3/4..but with the announcement of PS4 being able to play old games, this might be an option...though it won't look as nifty ><

Why not just have a dynamic theme for PS3, lots of character models standing in Jueno or Adoulin with a scrolling chatbox with shouts like, "Plasm farm PLD R/E heavy DD R/E/D/M can I have it?" You get the same thing that XI offers now, without the monthly subscription.

There is more depth to FFXIV's levelling quests from 1 to 10 than SoA storyline..

I would hope the starting bit of a new MMO would tease you with a grand adventure, before petering off once the actual grind of the game sets in 30 levels later, versus an MMO 11 years into its life span.

The story is lacking in SoA, but at least they gave us a fair amount of stuff to grind in it to tide us over, unlike say, WoTG's first three years.

Trouble is, Why release an expansion that wont be complete for possibly 1~3 more years (If we go the road of Wings of the goddess), Yes there is some content to grind through, but then what. You got a delve weapon? then the mega bosses for better weapon? then what.
This system of progression isn't great, and people that don't catch the mad rush to complete the content always get left behind with little assistance from people that have it done and have the gear to make things much easier.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if down the road, we could apply atmas in any zone, hell it would be a lot more fun if we could! While that wont be enough lets add Brews for any area, buy it with Bayld. I don't care to continue my adventures in adoulin, or vana'diel for that matter.

[Kaisha]

It's all points based content, so even if you have everything, you can still get your bayld/plasm up to prepare you for future content as it gets released.

The original developers for FF11 team went over to 14? Videos on YouTube look amazing, too bad the graphics card on my PC not good enough to handle it, gonna have to buy a new one or wait for the PS3 release. Wonder how much of the FFXI community is going to flock over?

I agree, in all honesty it will be a huge success as its one of the best console MMOs, not that it does not have competition, Destiny looks great. I expect Destiny and FFXIV will have a similar relationship to PSU & FFXI did as the only real console MMOs people played on Xbox 360, and now its PS3/4s turn. Being on PC and playing together is a great bonus which FFXI had and I assume FFXIV will have as well, all in all marking it up to be great.
