PS3 version

Yeah, no point in making more copies of a game people won't be playing.

I'd guess you're not going to see a ps3 version until the monthly fees are reinstated.

Beside, with the game burned on bluray you can't make so much changes to system as you can on PC, unless the game would be fully installed on HDD.

The PS3 won't be out (not that I'm waiting for it, i have PC ver.) unless this game will get Greatest Comeback award if you know what i mean ;)

Let the dev team work on it (GO Yoshi-P !!) and stop talking about info on PS3 xD You all know it will take months from now on, yet i still see questions like that, starting to get on my nerves.

I would guess that the PS3 release will coincide with the first full size expansion and the start of subscription charges.

The issue, I believe, is that a patch or large update has to go through a lot more red tape to be released on a console. With the amount of patches coming out, at this rate, the next patch would be "ready" before the last patch ever hit the consoles. This would mean that either the PC version would be perpetually one patch ahead (until things slowed down), or that the PC patches would have to be delayed for a synced release. This is the reason that Epic games gave for not allowing cross-platform game play between PC and PS3 and I can see it being a major factor in the choice to delay the PS3 version while the PC version is being renovated.

That being said, I agree with your sentiments, I only bought the PC version as a placeholder to keep my appetite sated until the PS3 build arrived.

You can rest assured that the game will be fully installed on the PS3's HDD, with the (possible) exception of some larger media (like prerendered cinematics). Considering the game weighs in at about 10 GB on the PC, which amounts to a little more than two "normal" PS3 games cache installs.

Anyway, I am not so much interested in an exact date that the PS3 version will be released, dates like that are hard to pin down and all but impossible to hit. What I want is to see the check list (even if it is dynamic) so that we can see where we stand. A lot of my recommendations to friends to play this game is based entirely on having a PS3 port.

FFXI installed completely to disk on both PS2 and Xbox360. The onlything run from the Game Disc was the POL Executable link for the Xbox360. Once the game was installed on the PS2 though you didn't even need the CD in to start the game. (The biggest flaw in the 360 version is requiring the disk be in to play.)

Also they announced that the currently missing genders will be attempted to be ready for the PS3 release.

Also you can install the PS2 client for XI onto the PS3 if you have a backwards compatible system, enough hard drive space, and you download the hard drive configuration tool from PSN.

I did that for awhile, and while it does work, FFXI (PS2) looks ungodly ugly on a 1080p native wide screen HDTV. I am in the camp that just wishes for a PS3 port of FFXI. FFXIV will do in a pinch though.

ya DCUO ps3 version is going through crap, and the pc/ps3 servers are seperate. their valintines day event was a week late and the st patricks day even was a mnth late. I stoped playing because the ppl were blind to issues and jusy being all around rude. That and in the pvp server everyone is on top of each other making it hard ti even level up. (not that its long)

Anyway that is a concern for me. But I hope they can work things out.
I can't wait to play.

What are you talki9ng about. SE never said anything about bringing the Missing genders into the game. Find the SE article that states this. If not you have no idea what your saying.

Look at the missing gender thread a dev got bck to them with feedback saying that Yoshida and the dec team are going to do their best into putting in the missing genders at ps3 launch.

They wre going to have them as playable races just had no man power to do so, but since they delayed a few games to bring in more ppl that is really no longer the case.
