PS3 Players are Handicapped

3.0 don't hold your breath at this pace. It's 2 whole years of patches before we even get to 3.0 sooo... Yeah.

2 years before the first expansion?

Yes. I hope others read this. I want more Titan-like fights, but we wont get them because PS3 users can't honestly compete unless they know the fight well enough to ignore what their screen says and move prior to seeing attacks. I'm not saying drop them entirely. Just let them reach the end of current content and then they will have to upgrade. Do it now and get it free. :/

"free" plus the cost of a PS4. I don't have $400 laying around. I don't even have an extra $100 for a SSD for my PS3. But you know what? I do just fine. Sure, load times are a bit slow. But I also have 4 Atmas and my static raid group was farming T4 last night for gear. I only had lag issues once, and I'm guessing that's because of my internet connection, not my PS3 (because of how my apartment is set up, I have to use a wireless connection for my PS3). Don't ruin the game for the rest of us because you're better off than we are.

I'm not better off. I just prepared for my PS4 and started saving. Christmas was semi fruitful. $230 then I saved for 2 months and bought my PS4 end of February. You can continue to do fine too. I'm just saying come 2015 they should say no more patches for PS3.

As a ps3 player who tried the ps4 beta this weekend, I also couldn't believe how much easier it was to dodge plumes on Titan EX. On ps3 I have to pre-empt them to even have a chance at dodging, and even then it feels like 50/50. But on ps4 I can move super late and still make it out just fine. Many times I was sure i'd get hit, but nope. Before I tried it myself I never would've believed it could be so different. I'm looking forward to ps4 release even more now.

Wow, I've never seen someone who thought his opinion mattered so much. Just because you think they should stop support doesn't mean every single other player who plays on PS3 does too.

To say "oh, I saved x amount of money over 2 months and bought a ps4" doesn't mean everyone else can or even wants to. If they're fine with playing how they are, who are you to say that they need to upgrade?

Not every PS3 player agrees, but a lot of us that played PS4 do I think.

Also, You have 8 months to save if they cut new content for PS3 in 2015. If you can't save enough to get it $400 spare in 8 months, you might want to reevaluate paying to play this game.

But why should they have to buy a 400.00 device to play a single game? What if this is the only game they really play? To say they're forced to buy a 400.00 device in a year if they want to continue playing it is absurd. No game is worth that. This is coming from a high end pc user, too. I bought my computer for other reasons; the fact that it can run FF flawlessly is just a bonus. But I certainly wouldn't buy a 'better' PC just to play this game if my current ran it at PS3 speeds. The fact that you're insinuating they should buy a brand new system just for one game (despite it running smoother) is absurd.

To be fair, you originally said in your first post that they should cease support for PS3 next month, not next year.

You really need, and I mean REALLY need to get to grips with the fact that there are other people other than yourself that are happy on PS3 and don't want or need to switch. Not everyone who plays this game does end game content or extreme primals. Even if they do, maybe they don't mind a bit of lag here and there.

This all boils down to you having bought a PS4, and somehow think it should be law that everyone else do the same. PS3 players pay their monthly fee just like you do and I do not see why their right to play the game should be taken away. Just enjoy your game and let others enjoy theirs for crying out loud.
