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

FF XI flopped because it was pc only... Thats why they remade it and put it on the ps3... Face it not everyone who plays video games plays on a pc, I prefer playing on my ps3 or ps4 It's easier for me to enjoy myself in game...

If you want PC only then go back to XI

Umm FFXI is on the Xbox 360, PS2, and PC and if you was referring to FFXIV it flopped because they release an unfinished game with alot of problems and it was always meant to be on PS3 but flopped on PC and never released for PS3.

No one plays on those systems anymore... It's strictly a PC game and it lost too many subscribers... Thats why it flopped...

You play on an imported japanese version... what does that prove other than you belong to a very small minority that understands enough japanese to do so? The majority of players couldn't do that... and I don't honestly understand why anyone would play on ps2 when basically any pc sold in the last few years could run that game very well.

I have to agreed with OP. They never should have released it on the ps3 to begin with. It should have been PC with ps4 upcoming.

No one can expect to use the same PC for 7-8 years on new games and expect it to work correctly and still look good. That being said, the ps3 came out on November 17, 2006.

So why dumb down a new game for an 8 year old counsel when the ps4 was so close to release.

I do enjoy this game, but anyone that says ps3 limitations do not effect the rest of us are lying to them selves.

I agree also that it should never have been released for PS3, especially with the PS4 release so close (and apparently on a much easier platform to port to) the fact that ps3 will hold this game back in the future frustrates me to no end. I experienced the same frustration though with XI being held back by PS2 for years and years. I imagine we'll deal with the same crap this time around because too many people will only be able to play on a ps3.

It proves that you can indeed play on ps2 should you be wanting to and that while the expansion was only available in Japan nothing stops you from importing it. The game is still supported outside Japan for ps2 users it's just not as convinient. Also I play on ps2 for XI because I want to I really don't need any reason more than that, also the music is rather noticeably different and IMO significantly better on the ps2 due to the use of different formats. Also if you are dedicated and know homebrew for ps2 (fmcb) you can actually play seekers in English on ps2.

There are more JP PS2 players than every other system combined. Source? Go check the SE poll they did in POL.

edit: PS2 also counts the PS2 copies being played on PS3. Because there is no PS3 version.
