This game got limited by the PS3

I think the graphics and design of this game are limited by the PS3 like open world content, animations and the Egi system for Summoner's.

And yet its got many happy players, success and money from it.

On my high end gaming rig it is night and day. It may not be over the top graphics but if you do a side by side of ps3 and max settings on a high end PC you can see it is not being limited as much as everyone would like to complain about.

and anyway the gameplay is great, that is what creates a lasting game not how great it looks

Design decision because people said Open World is an outdated content during the 1.x polls toward 2.0's development.

Egi system for Summoner's.

Design decision - Yoshi said he hated how in XI multiple summoners could summon powerful beasts and it "cheapened them" to do so, so we got popcorn and candy summons instead while the summoner itself is still the more powerful.

And yet for it's time, XI played and looked great - Because FF games in general usually did both.

Remember a time when a video game could look, play and sound great?

Well claim them for a certain amount of time and once used their gone until you go out to try claim them again not something you can use over and over but ill assume you alrdy knew that.

Absolutely it did. Hopefully if we keep pressure up for everyone to migrate to PC/PS4, eventually it will become financially unwise for SE to continue PS3 support. Then we can move on to complaining about being limited by the PS4 until the PC master race reigns supreme.*

Yes, and the sky is blue.

The quality of the graphics on PC is not limited by PS3. PC has it's own, separate settings that somewhat reflect the capabilities of the platform.

What is limited by the PS3 is content. Zones are tiny, no open-world dungeons/bosses, etc. etc. The PS3 is why everything is instanced.
