Greetings!
Recently my LS mates & I were discussing the upcoming release of FF14 on the PS3. Someone brought up the thought of a FF14 Edition PS3 because their current "George Foreman" PS3 was getting kind of old and they planned on getting FF14 for the PS3, so they figured it would be cool if SE released a FF14 Edition PS3 that also comes with a copy of the game. SE has done similar things for FF13 & FF13-2. Is there a possibility of seeing a FF14 Edition PS3?
Thoughts?
FF14 Edition PS3?

Depends on 2.0 release and how it fares. Currently they can barely sell the copies they already made.

Not going to happen even if it did it would be Japan only. We never even got the FF XIII PS3.

With the horrible image FFXIV has out there I think that would be detrimental to SONY to be honest. I know the game is way better now but the general population only remembers the horrible game Tanaka shit on us.

I think the system is too far into its lifespan to be trying to actually push the systems. I can't imagine a massive crowd of people who would buy a PS3 to play XIV. I imagine the market the game is aiming for allready has a PS3.

As others have mentioned the console is too far into it's life to bother pushing releases when the next gen console isn't far off and the current image the rest of the world sees for FF14 isn't too good.Quote:

Not really, nothing I have heard anyway.
but if it really does happen and if history teaches you anything, exclusive things like this almost never outside of Japan.
You could always import it for like $600 though. -

If this really does happen, and if it looks nice, I might import it. My PS3 is pretty old and this is a perfect excuse to get a new one. Not that I'm planning on replacing my current PS3 or anything.

I imagine Square Enix will have to talk to Sony. After all Sony is pretty nice with freedom when it comes with cross platform play.
Another thing Square Enix can do is a promotion for the up coming Final Fantasy Versus XIII. They could probably slap on a demo of it in the FFXIV PS3 beta or something. It would be nice to have some info on Versus XIII by the way. -

Oh I really want a PS3 Version. I cant wait for it, because I am not really a PC player.
-
03-18-2012, 07:29 PMSylvariI mainly want the PS3 version because I'm too cheap to make a new PC... Mine runs it fine but meh..Quote:

Things happen Jpn only because people actually buy it. I've seen unemployed men spend the money on games/systems. It's a problem because they mooch off their family but like I said in Jpn games actually sell.

I think many people will join with the PS3 Version because not everyone has a good enough PC to play it. I had to buy a new one to play FFXIV.

Sony does not have to do a specific FFXIV version but they can do a generalized white version with FF logo on top loaded with all previous FF versions from PSN or something. We have Vs 13, X HD, and XIV due out for PS3 this year.
-
03-19-2012, 01:58 AMElexiaOntop of that, the whole "XIV's image is tarnished so Sony won't do it" doesn't hold weight to anything because people consider XIII one of the worst FFs yet ironically I'm clearly looking at my XIII-2 PS3 >.>.Quote:

Also Wada is the boss basically, even Tanaka himself said XIV was unfinished and not ready for release mere weeks before it ended up getting a September release, those of us in the business world knows what happened all too well, especially if you're on a long running project and you're not allowed any more time. Also, the PS2 was (is) still going strong and was going strong even 5 years later so the PS3 isn't "too far ahead", it's settled, stabilized and in the perfect spot actually....there's almost no reason to buy a PS4 or Xbox 720/Next for example. -
03-20-2012, 03:06 PMArnoMorleySame thing happens in the states really I have friends try to mooch games off of me all the time lol, the difference here is jrpg's aren't really considered "cool" in the west. That modern warfare 2 Xbox sold a crazy amount here; it's just a matter of what a culture is in to. As a whole the gaming market is bigger in the US than in Japan they just don’t want what SE is selling.Quote:

It's quite simple why SE sucks compared to squaresoft, Wada wasn't there until about 2000. If people pay attention there was an immediate loss in quality when he took over, I liked X but even it was significantly less than FF9 offered and it was because he forced it's release too. They stopped being a company all about providing top quality rpgs to being all about making a huge profit.Quote:

XIII was a bad game yes, but they were able to buy enough people out in the media to make it look much better than it was, they weren't relying on a subscription either so as far as sales go it was successful for them.
XIV imo was better than 13 even at launch but this time they couldn't buy the media out, I mean do you really think they can offer reviewers more money than blizzard? With all of the bad press and lost subscriptions XIV becomes what XIII wasn't and that's a financial failure. -
03-22-2012, 03:45 PMLazKaiYes, SE do intend to release ffxiv multi-platform, specifically on ps3. That isn't in question. This thread is about whether or not we can expect to see Sony make limited edition ps3's for ffxiv, the way they did for ffxiii.Quote:

Why wouldn't they it looks like all it takes is stenciling on a picture in one color. What is the cost of that really? 10 cents per unit and can't they just open a few boxes in a warehouse and do that. Then they can then sell PS3's to people who already have one, and people only buying one for FFXIV which I'm sure there is a quite few (probably more than bought one JUST for FFXIII).
