Why you should buy the PS3 version and not the PC version of this game

[Slatervonjager]

Graphically there is a huge difference between pc on max settings and ps3. The frame rate is choppy on ps3 also.

Yeah, no. It's not the difference of the systems, it's the difference in the TV you use, and the quality of the cable. The better the TV/cable, the better the picture. Using Max settings with a non HD TV or a low end HD TV, will look like crap obviously. My PS3 version looks far better on the TV I have, then it does on some high end game PCs I've seen.

Buy whatever fits YOUR style. Not what others tell you to.

This. If you prefer the PS3, then go with that. If you like the PC better, use that.

you don't get to see fate mobs that well on ps3.

THIS IS NOT A PS3 ISSUE! for god sake, does anyone here not read developer notes, or visit areas of this forums where technical issues are discussed. This happens on PC as well. There's people with rigs costing several thousands of dollars having this issue. It's a load priority issues, meaning it's the game, not the system.

@ slater post was to big to include your quote

This is a blatant lie TV and better cable (god I lol'd so much at that) don't make for better graphics a better graphics card does how ever.

By any chance these high end gaming rigs you talk of where still using good old CRT monitors and/or running at resolutions below 1920*1080 they are the only reasons it would look worse than a PS3 or some really sub par graphics card.

I know lets all go out and buy shine new cables and make our in game graphics better lol I mean come on.

And you can't do this on a PS3 so nuff said lol.

I mean come on people everyone will all have a preference and it is not wrong or right to dictate to people what they should play on but hands down any mid level (cheap) gaming machine will blow a PS3 out of the water.

I have never played on a console. Won't do it. I support PC games only.

And that's your choice. Console gaming, is what made gaming what it is today. However, supporting only PC or only Consoles, again your choice, is the stupidest thing you can do, because you deprive yourself of MANY great games that are exclusive to one or the other. A REAL gamer, doesn't bind themselves to one platform or the other, but instead experiences them all.

Yeah. triple monitor, is nothing special, and is actually pointless unless you're managing servers. Nice waste of cash.
Also, when your cheap gaming rig can run Blackhole simulations, and becomes the most powerful hacking tool in the world, then we can talk.

Hrmmm, well after experiencing them all, it was very clear to me that console gaming was not only more expensive but vastly inferior.

PC gaming FTFW for Life!

Console gaming, is what made gaming what it is today.

It sure did...le sigh...

For example, look at the hardware specs for the new generation of consoles, we had that level of technology and graphics 5 years ago on PC. And consoles are just now about to get it! The only thing consoles have done for gaming is greatly hold back the potential for even better hardware, innovations and yes graphics too!

A PC can't even play a PS2 game.

Uh yeah it can, would you like to come over and let me prove it to ya!? lol

Completely agree with this as I was looking over the spec for the PS4 and the XBOX one I noticed that everything in there I had but better 2 years ago since then I have Built a new machine and upgraded once and the consoles they are releasing are so sub par in gaming PC terms.

Except consoles were never, originally, built to run like computers. PS3 and PS4 and XBone run like computers because the technology evolved and and Microsoft decided to make consoles more computer like, unlike before when they were simply machines to play video games.

I don't get why this is turning into a which machine is better for games, both play games (and play them well) and that should be enough for you guys. :/ If you want a prettier picture or a smoother run or whathaveyou, I'm sure there will be fixes and patches and new monitors and etc etc etc for that to happen.

Just be happy with what you got. I like my PS3 and I'm quite happy with it and I don't even get to play this game on an HD screen lol. If I can enjoy my squished screen, you guys can enjoy your suped up computers and 50" inch TV/monitors and whatever else you guys have been bragging that you have.

Now let's play the game, hm?

I have to disagree on this. The best games have always been PC. Most of the console games are war games/car games and decorating games. PC has the ability graphically to design games with more depth and better gameplay.

You are joking, right? You know that FF games have almost always been console specific. In fact, most JRPGs are console specific. Also, consoles have some games with incredible depth. You sir, don't know what you are talking about.

Okay..show me some with depth like Ultima Online, Everquest I & II, Vanguard etc... and we can talk.

ps3 version lacks many features.
you can barely see the game because of how big ui is.

Most of the UI features are re-sizeable through the HUD configuration screen. Unfortunately, this doesn't include the character window or crafting window. (The later, especially, is huge.) Windows like that can at least be moved aside a bit by putting your controller in mouse-mode to drag the window.

I was really annoyed at first by the size of the UI, but like it a lot more now that I've made most of the HUD items smaller, made the action buttons appear only when L2 or R2 is pressed, and moved the dialog window down to the very bottom edge of the screen. The only part whose size still bugs me is the crafting window.
