They've announced that the free upgrade from ps3 to ps4 is ending on April 1st. But is it really ending on that date? Is it coincidence that its exactly on April 1st? We've all been duped before with other announcements. How can we be so sure that this wont be another joke? A lot of players haven't upgraded from their ps3's yet and we've already made plans around this announcement. If this turns out to be another April Fools joke, then you'll really be throwing a huge monkey wrench at us.
I know that an announcement like this isn't something that a game developer would joke about. But because of the date, there will always be a hint of doubt to it. So we need to know, Square Enix, If your really serious about this. Will the free upgrade really end on April 1st? please respond. Anyone.

Doubt it.. It was announced long time ago it was ending at the end of March..not on April 1st.

They already extended it. It was supposed to end at the end of 2014. I really don't think it's a joke.

Considering they released the PS4 version in mid-April last year, that's almost a year of time for people to upgrade. If you haven't upgraded in that time, you're likely not coming back to the game anyway.

it was supposed to end in last December, you should be happy that it lasted o long already

The last day for the upgrade is march 31.
So yes, on April 1 it is over -
03-11-2015, 10:41 PMKaze3434please, tell me what other announcements that fell on april first(after being extended) have ended up being jokes.Quote:

If you've made plans around it what are you waiting for. Why would you hold out on upgradeing its like1000x upgrade ps3 so bad.

If you have a PS4, there's no reason not to upgrade. If you were planning on getting a PS4 anyway, now might be a good time.
-
03-11-2015, 10:52 PMDracotheDragon
it was meant o end with 2014, but they extended it to march, now they extended it again to april 1st (giving it a day or 2 still counts as extending it:P )(probably so ps3 users can upgrade in time for heavenward,) but i doubt strongly they will keep this up for much longer, because they do want to drop the ps3 support, after heavenward, so i would see the expansion being a true final deadline.

I'm really lucky to get my PS4 last month. I think they will drop all the support for PS3 soon.
-
03-11-2015, 10:54 PMCodeCass
Really glad I upgraded at the end of January. I felt so lucky that they had extended it, otherwise I'd most likely still be on the PS3, and after I've learned the glory of the PS4, I can't imagine going back haha.
-
03-11-2015, 10:56 PMInuk9Yeah, you can really see how garbage is the ps3 version when you got a PS4 or good PC upgrade. You can actually see all NPCs in mor dhona *-*Quote:

hmmm....
why all replies failed to notice the "April Fools" reference? Extended or not, it's still April 1. How serious are you ppl? lol -

Does Japan even recognize April Fools Day??
-
03-11-2015, 11:03 PMMillerna
Actually, the email I got about the upgrade says Tuesday, 31st March 2015 ..
-
03-11-2015, 11:07 PMCodeCassI can't really dis the PS3 version too much. I was one of it's biggest supporters at the time before I got my PS4. If that's what you have, it's what you have and you make the best of it.....but now that I've seen just how smoothly it runs on the PS4 and how beautiful the game can be, I can see just how much I was missing out on. Took part in an S rank kill yesterday, and the amount of people that were there....I just know my poor old PS3 would have just given up hahaQuote:

It wouldn't even be a funny joke. Could you imagine if a bunch of people rush to get the upgrade thinking it would be over only to find out it was "haha april fools"? People would be upset, even more so if they went out and bought a PS4 sooner than they wanted to.
-
03-12-2015, 12:21 AMFelisOr if they wait until april 1 to upgrade and then SE say "april april, it ended already yesterday"Quote:

03-12-2015, 12:49 AMLexiaWell that really would be their own fault not SE's. It nice if you already have a PS4 and want to upgrade but I don't see reason for anyone to rush out and buy a PS4 for it being the game is only $30 and often on sale for 50% during PSN sales lowering it to $15.Quote:

Once I read that they extended the free upgrade, I was happy and got a PS4 and upgraded early January. So far I don't play any other game on my PS4 other than this, but hopefully I will get some good use out of it once something I like finally shows up for PS4.

03-12-2015, 09:39 PMEdellis
They should wait until April 1st and say it's extended until August. And then say April Fools on the 2nd. Would be cruel, but hilarious.
I personally got my PS4 in January after they said they would be extending it. The free upgrade was actually one of the primary reasons, but free Destiny and GGXRD were icing on the cake.
And trust me, anyone on PS3, you really want the upgrade, especially if you don't plan to get the PC version. The difference is night and day. -
03-12-2015, 09:41 PMGuevarathis has to do with people's money, so this is something serious. They would never joke on something like that.Quote:

Maybe they will resume it sometime, or not, but for sure on April 1st it'll be over. -
03-12-2015, 09:48 PMEdellis
Worst case scenario, you can commit to it and just upgrade on mogstation before you buy it.
You won't be able to play on PS3 anymore...but you'll shave some $$$ off your PS4 purchase...? -
03-12-2015, 10:04 PMMugiawaraIt's not one. People had plenty of time to upgrade.Quote:

So after the free campaign ends, can you still purchase a ps4, then upgrade and move your character over?
If so, then I will prolly wait until Heavensward, purchase a ps4 with the game, and upgrade then.
