Force PS3 players to migrate over to PS4 and then drop support for it

[Mega_Man_U]

I have no computer at home and I can't afford a PS4. So yeah, how about no?

I'm a PS3 player and I know the limitations of the platform I'm using. How about asking us for our opinion first?

I feel like Square needs to have these things happen before Ps3 players are phased out:

- Wait until first ps4 price drop (heck it isn't even in stock now...)
- Give option for Ps3 players to move to PC for free if they can't get a ps4
- Release a Mac client ( FF XIV is going to need this to stay competitive against ESO, which has a mac client )
- Optimize the game such that it is playable on whatever graphics card is built into APUs or Intel CPUs in mid 2015

It definitely does seem inevitable, right now I only have played on Ps3 (granted not very much due to college), and the ps3 would definitely prevent something like flying mounts from ever being added.

First. the reason a lot of people actually use ps3 instead of pc is because their PC cannot handle the game. Offering them a free migration would do nothing to fix the issue they have. Second, Flying mounts not being in game has little to do with PS3, and more to do with the zone issues. They are working on introducing them in a later expansion, this has already been said.

As mcuh as I wish for a mac client, I think SE will never do this, I can't remember how many FFXI players begged them for that, but noooooo
