patch 2.9 the last patch for ps3

[Rex]

Yoshi-P said in a recent interview (I'm sure someone will beat me to the source because I have to go find it) that PS3 support is likely to be dropped, but will be supported for at LEAST the next year.


EDIT: OP already had it

What now? yes most likely most PS3 users will convert to a PS4 version when they get a PS4 no doubt. First though, I'm not sure what you're talking about PS3 servers, no such thing exists. PC, PS3, and soon PS4 players all share the same servers... and I've not personally had any latency issues specifically because of the PS3. Yes there is lag when loading or in FATES such as Odin or Behemoth, but no latency issues to speak of... get your facts straight please.

What do you mean no latency issues? have you never ran titan ex before on ps3? Even in crystal tower if your a melee your character runs in place for a few seconds before attacking. Those are latency issues you can dodge landslides on your screen and still get hit by it, lol.

Just what I said... What latency issues? I easily clear Ex Primals, including Titan Ex, and a weekly basis between WHM,SMN, and WAR and I have no problems dodging landslides in the least bit, yeah CT is sometimes laggy, but not unplayable by any means. So again, what latency?

Do you think patch 2.9 will be the last patch for ps3 since 3.0 will be a brand new expansion to the game? Or do you think and earlier patch will be the last patch and development for the ps3?

Yoshida said that the PS3 is still on board with the first expansion pack. So, no
Maybe 3.9 would be the last patch.

2.16 wasn't using conventional versioning. If it was versioned properly it would actually be 2.1.6

In versioning a period is used as a separator, it's not a decimal mark.

If they used it like they did during 1.0 then our 2.16 would be 2.1b (and 2.15 would be 2.1a)

That would make sense too since the 3rd sequence is in a different format so it wouldn't need a separator to make sense.

I prefer version in a format where you don't need to know the format to make sense of it.

this thread is nothing but flame bait

SE still supports the PS2 version of FFXI despite Sony having abandoned the hardware themselves - I don't think SE will be cutting support for the PS3 version of ARR any time soon.

FFXI no longer supports the PS2 as of their most recent expansion.

I dont think so.

Yep, beat it on PS3 as well. Latency isn't platform specific.

PS4 won't have a huge following till several more years.

It's been statistically proven over the years that the majority of consumers won't buy consoles more than $300. If 60% of the console population is still on PS3, there's no way Square would cut support. They'd be throwing away so much money.

So until PS4 has had several price drops and is around the $300 mark, there's pretty much no chance of it passing PS3's userbase.
