PS3 to PS4

Does anybody know if the PS4 version of the game will be given to current PS3 users? Or would it be given at a heavily discounted port such as other titles like CoD etc.? Anybody's thoughts?

i'm hoping for a CE ps4 edition myself lol

1 Ps4 isnt even out yet
2 SE has bigger problems than giving ps4 version update info.

i would like them to release more info on when they are planning on releasing the PS4 version of the game. Im really looking forward to playing this game on PS4

it has already been announced at E3 last month. March 2014

Nothing's been given to us except extended trial time. No, they aren't going to just give you a PS4 copy because you got the PS3 version. Just like how they didn't give PC players free PS3 copies. They really have no reason to. All the sentiment over wanting a free PS4 copy is based on some odd notion that PS3 players got some kind of bum wrap and that the PS3 version is XIV's red-headed stepchild primed for a backhanding. I'm playing on the PS3 even though my laptop could run the Betas at near max settings. Why, cause I wanted to. I wasn't forced to play it to free up PC server space because the servers don't work like that. I even got the PS3 CE (and gave the registration code to a friend only to wind up actually needing it and having to go out and get another PS3 copy just to register). I don't feel cheated in my decision one bit and, if I had the opportunity to do it over again, I'd do it exactly the same.

While I think its a nice idea that both Sony and Microsoft are coming up with ways to allow you to purchase the current gen version of certain games and then upgrade the the next gen versions, you do realize that you are actually paying more for the next gen version in the end right? Both companies have said it will be a $10 upgrade fee , so $60 for the PS3/360 version of a game and then $10 for the PS4/XboxOne version = $70 , or simply wait and pay $60 for the PS4/XboxOne version

There is a lot of bitterness in that post LOL like i said, i was just wondering since other titles have HAVE enabled cheap ports to ps4 to ENSURE the ps3 market for the holiday season does not crash due to the impending release of p4.

if you bought it through the playstation network as digital download, then it makes sense that you can redownload it through your playstation network account when you get a PS4

that may be true for activision games and other companies that are releasing the same game within 1 or 2 months post ps4 release.. HOWEVER.. FF14 for ps4 was not going to be released in such timely fashion.. it is estimated at least 6 months from ps3 release.

I'm pretty sure itll be downloadable on the psn network for free if you already used the code you had in the box. If you have to re-buy this game one more time itll be a very sad day for SE...

Yes, I shan't deny the bitterness. This question came up alot on the Beta forums, though not so much a question as outright demand claiming such nonsense as console limitations and lack of foresight. We have the PS3 version because it promised us back before they'd even released 1.0. I love that they kept their promise and as I said, no regrets having switched to the console.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that Sony said most, if not all, PSN purchases made right now will be unavailable for download on the PS4. This is because of the architectural difference between the systems at play here: PSP, PS Vita, PS3 and PS4.

Sure, the PS4 may be able to emulate the others, but that's apparently not on their scope right now. I think their cloud service app serves to remedy that in regards to the PS3 (disc verification). But, hardware-wise, it wouldn't work if Sony isn't going to implement emulation. The PS3 version of XIV:ARR was heavily optimized for its platform; trying to play it on another platform would create a cesspool of errors.

Didn't Yoshi mention last month that PS3 users would get the PS4 "Client" for free?

Yoshi did say they were working on a plan for free ps4 upgrade for ps3 purchasers. I just wish I didn't have to continue using a ps3 for 4 months after I get my ps4.


Also, if ps3 is having so much trouble with fates and dungeons now, what happens if raids are unplayable on the ps3? Will we be forced to the sidelines, along with PC users have ventrillo and raid call etc, how is raiding going to work with no cross platform communications? Ps4 is supposed to get services like ventrillo but until then were pretty nerfed in the communication department.
