patch 2.9 the last patch for ps3

Yoshi-P said in a recent interview (I'm sure someone will beat me to the source because I have to go find it) that PS3 support is likely to be dropped, but will be supported for at LEAST the next year.


EDIT: OP already had it

Yes there is lag when loading or in FATES such as Odin or Behemoth, but no latency issues to speak of... get your facts straight please.

What do you mean no latency issues? have you never ran titan ex before on ps3? Even in crystal tower if your a melee your character runs in place for a few seconds before attacking. Those are latency issues you can dodge landslides on your screen and still get hit by it, lol.

Just what I said... What latency issues? I easily clear Ex Primals, including Titan Ex, and a weekly basis between WHM,SMN, and WAR and I have no problems dodging landslides in the least bit, yeah CT is sometimes laggy, but not unplayable by any means. So again, what latency?

Yoshida said that the PS3 is still on board with the first expansion pack. So, no
Maybe 3.9 would be the last patch.

In versioning a period is used as a separator, it's not a decimal mark.

If they used it like they did during 1.0 then our 2.16 would be 2.1b (and 2.15 would be 2.1a)

That would make sense too since the 3rd sequence is in a different format so it wouldn't need a separator to make sense.

I prefer version in a format where you don't need to know the format to make sense of it.

this thread is nothing but flame bait

FFXI no longer supports the PS2 as of their most recent expansion.

I dont think so.

Yep, beat it on PS3 as well. Latency isn't platform specific.

PS4 won't have a huge following till several more years.

It's been statistically proven over the years that the majority of consumers won't buy consoles more than $300. If 60% of the console population is still on PS3, there's no way Square would cut support. They'd be throwing away so much money.

So until PS4 has had several price drops and is around the $300 mark, there's pretty much no chance of it passing PS3's userbase.
