Why are PC players being so stuck up to ps3 players?

[Doki]

Because the crossbar is way too limited a control scheme for hardcore playing. Sure the proud desparate few skilled PS3 players could get it down, but anyone could play better on PC than they could on PS3 hands down. Targeting on PS3, even with filters set up just right, is still a fetid pile of garbage.

Because the frame rate on PS3 is horrid.

Because the majority of PS3 players don't even use a keyboard with their system at all.

this is largest issue imo, I had one earlier and it was really hard to communicate with him when he cant even type.

It's a confirmed fact that the ps3's performance, or lack thereof is holding the game back. Some people take offence to that.

I have no issue with any but--

"PS3 limitations" is already coming, I know it is.

I know PS3 is a powerful machine, but in the scope of this game, average PCs seem to perform better.

For anyone who doesn't know, se said "PS2 limitations" in regard to many improvements for any aspect of FFXI for years.

I have to say that it is down to those that feel everyone should have dropped cash on a gaming rig instead of a PS3, even though the majority of us got our PS3s years ago. And, really, while I can play on PC I still prefer the PS3. Very little changes between the systems with me, anyway, as I prefer to play with a controller instead of a mouse. Having to click for a target using a mouse was just so annoying for me. When they added controller support during the Beta I switched and never looked back. Honestly, if it hadn't been for the Legacy promotion, I'd have never even signed on when I did as I was diehard for the PS3 version.

This. I got a friend hooked on FFXIV and he's on PS3 and I gave him a keyboard because he wasn't using one. Most times they're open to better ways of gaming but you have to tell them about it.

Also, is it possible for a PS3 user to run a chat communication program on PS3 while it runs their game? Anyone know if PS4 is going to be able to?

That is just basic lazy, as the cost of a decent KB for this is about the same as a SUB fee, i have seen many people crash during FATES and they were all PC players. But this does not excuse talking down to ps3 players, the UI can be handled as there is a macro option should the normal way not suit someone.

Not to mention PS4 will be a upgrade for this am i sure it won't have these problems.

PS4 isn't as powerful as high end pcs today let alone the ones that will be built 1-2 years from now.

PS2 limitations killed Ffxi, just like how PS3 limitations will kill XIV

Last time I was on XI it was going strong, with the latest expansion getting alot of attention. And this with the PS2 still being supported (though only Japan got to see a PS2 install disk for Adoulin). XIV is going to be fine on the PS3.
