do that shock me? no... they will not do it before maybe 2-3 years. and yeah they have support the ps2 version of FF11, but that not the point here. ARR is more demanding in memory and the push already a lot the ps3.

if you don't believe me look around about information link to the memory limitation on the game because of the ps3.

and you have a free copy of the ps4 version in 2-3 years either you have stop to play, or get a ps4 for continue to play...

but it's still really far for be that worried.

Oddly, people have been making this same argument over the PS2 and XI for years and, not last year, we saw a new expansion with a new city, complete with city building mechanic, new areas, new monsters, new jobs, new skills, new abilities, etc., etc. Memory has always been the first, best, and last fallacy that people cling to when a game is on a console AND PC. It's not how much memory a game uses, it's how it uses that memory. Consoles are always optimized to use it's memory in the best ways it can, making what should be a terrible looking game look great. There are a great number of games that proves that memory isn't as big a crutch as the naysayers make it out to be. We're going to be fine.

Unfortunately, they'll probably support it until Sony EOL's the PS3. But perhaps if we're lucky they'll split the clients enough that PC and PS4 players can see some nice upgrades that aren't crippled in the name of PS3 compatibility.

Playstation 2 limitations!!!!!!!!!
