Hello, everyone and how are you doing? So as the topic states i feel like the PS3 Beta is going to be first come first serve and instead of shipping out disc which probably cost a lot of money to do. They will most likely give you a code to redeem the Software clinet. From the Playstation Network and then you download it to your PS3.
So how many of you good people think thats how its going to be?
And off side note i wonder what the icon for the game will look like and where its going to be put at under games?:cool:
How PS3 Beta will be done i bet!

Yes it will be a download like most betas on PS3. I would like to think the people who originally applied for the PS3 beta with a code from FF 13 will still be included even though that beta never happened.

I'm 100% certain it will be downloaded from PSN.
What I'm wondering is, will PS3 beta be on our current server names, or will the create a couple new servers for PS3 beta only. -
05-03-2012, 11:11 PMArcellI'm gonna guess, since it's a beta, they'll use their own servers. That way if something goes wrong it won't affect the PC players and it is easier to narrow down the causes and whatnot since it's all on the same platform.Quote:

Yes true. i'd like to be in same server's unless they don't want PS3 Beta tester nooblets to upset the older players. But i feel like it make are commouinty better nitted together.

05-03-2012, 11:38 PMArcellRight but also because it's a beta they're going to wipe all of the beta accounts. I mean I guess it's possible to do after integrating them within our servers but seems like it would be easier to just do it on a server of its own.Quote:

05-03-2012, 11:45 PMMoonKeeperr
So speaking PS3 user's will be stress testing the 2.0 server's? or will they place us together and move PC user's to the new remolded server?

I'm thinking since they will be wanting to see how the platforms interact with eachother, they will at somepoint in time merge them to the same server. With such a narrow window of beta testing (Nov-Jan) I'm gonna say they will probably have the lowest population servers as PS3 Beta targets from the get go. -

Its the clients being beta tested not the server, both players will be Beta testing the game on the same servers, playing as we normally do now, the only difference is we'll be helping to squash out client bugs (since the content is being copied)

05-04-2012, 01:24 AMJinkoCross platform software doesn't interact with one another, if the software is made properly it will communicate the same way with the server regardless of platform.Quote:

I can't see why they can't have beta for PC and PS3 on the same server. -

I'm going to play it on PS3 to see how it is.. never got the chance to do that with FFXI.. so this is something exciting for me!!.. also since its the "Actual Launch" for the PS3 Version.. I believe they will be shipping out discs.. but maybe not who knows really :P.. but since everything is going downloads now in days.. Probably right PSN Download.

The question is: Get old chars and new chars the same server for beta? Or do we all need to make new chars for the beta?
SE said with 2.0 new players can join a new or old server, but an old player can only transfer his char to an old server and not to a new server. -

I'm hoping the beta will be bundled with a Final Fantasy Versus XIII demo.

Sicne they are making it to where low rigs can play. The game without choking. Just hoping they don't look like 11 graphics my god Elvzen had huge hands. XdQuote:
