With Final Fantasy 14's long time goal to release said game on the PS3 I'm curious what the communities speculations on hard drive space regarding the game are.
DCUO as of now on my PS3 takes a little less then 16 gigs on my hard drive. I am curious by throwing up Final Fantasy in comparison to DCUO what do you think will be the storage space needed for Final Fantasy XIV?
I personally have a terabyte in my PS3 so it does not affect me too much, however how will this affect the common person who has all ready probably reached into the upwards of their factory PS3's storage device allowance.
I apologies if this was addressed in a thread all ready, i have yet to locate a thread regarding this.
DCUO = DC Universe Online

I think most people will be fine also its really cheap to upgrade ps3 harddrives
Think it uses laptop HDD if im not mistaken -
06-11-2011, 02:02 PMBledYes the PS3 uses Laptop HDD's, the upgrade is fairly easy itself, and cheap. I fear the problem is most people suffer from not knowing how to back up all of their memory for the upgrade. Using an external hard drive isent enough you have to completely re format (FAT32) the external hard drive too.Quote:

I dont know but i bought an 250 gig or what ever it was lol im sure if people wanna play they would spend the extra cash i mean XI for the ps2 was kinda high price.

06-11-2011, 02:10 PMBledVery true and i agree with you to an extent, i just wonder how SE will deal with this, or if they will do anything at all, for the people who are not as tech savy or did not buy the 250 gig and still want to play FF XIV on the PS3.Quote:

Simple: Upgrade the HDD. If you can't, there are youtube videos that show you how. If you lose your data, you're a nab. L2technology

06-11-2011, 03:19 PMBledThe L2technology is just as ignorant of a statement as L2P..Quote:

it gotta be horrible waiting for the ps3 to install a patch to FFXIV when its released.
hell a 5GB game takes alot longer than it should imagine about 14GB going piece by piece with the patch checking its self.
PS3 melt down? -

it will probably be the same size as the pc version. and with SE's copy/paste motive it wont change an awful lot.
I didnt even know you could upgrade hard drive onthe new PS3's, i know you can with the old. But my new one has like 250gb or something, havent checked. -
06-11-2011, 05:36 PMBledYeah its possible, and its just as easy as the old ones, like i said the challenge comes from formatting your external hard drive for memory swap.Quote:

It only has to use the 720p textures (the PC version installs the 720p and 1080p textures IIRC) it also doesn't need the PCcode from Crystal Tools but dunno how much that codechunk weighs.
Also. >.> I have a terabyte drive in my PS3. -

Well as of right now xiv takes up about 9.83 Gigs of disk space with the actual cumulative file size being about 9.4g give or take. Now that size will continue to bloat as they start to add more content. Who knows where it will end up in a year or two (if they manage to get things working well), this is a mmo after all. But i would not worry about the game exceeding 15Gigs by the time the ps3 version is launched.
and 15 is a very very very highball estimate. -

Final Fantasy XIV on my desktop computers HDD reads 12gigs *shrug* so i don't know why there all these differences in size.
My computer runs on Windows XP if that has any bearing.
