Support Yoshi-P's efforts to bring XIV to as many platforms as possible. :)

Linux support would be nice. I wonder if Yoshi's gotten his hands on a Steambox.

Oh man if this came to the Wii-U, it would mean the first main FF game since 6 on a Nintendo system. Let that sink it.

You missed all the ones on handheld?

Normally I would be all for this sort of thing, but i refuse to support the Xbox One in any shape or form.

If they'd of kept it PC exclusive or at least skipped the PS3 straight to PS4 it may of had less subs but the quality of the game and content would likely be much better than it is right now.

I agree with this statement 100% which also mean that I do NOT support SE or Yoshida's plan to continue spreading out to other platforms (at least not right now). While it's great that PS4-ers got their hand on the game and many PS3-ers got a chance to upgrade, I felt like this decision hindered development resource that could be put to rolling out content patches faster and god forbid possibly putting the roadmap back on track.

Yes, it's great that we can get more people to join this game, but so what? That's not the point here. Yoshida claimed that he wanted to relaunch FF14 as a quality Final Fantasy game that could survive on 400k sub. Well last I remember, we have way over 500k daily unique logins which realistically would put us over 600k+ sub. What we need now is more focus on dx11 implementation, addons, frontline, airship, gold saucer, overworld primals, and anything that Yoshida used to tease and made this game a worthwhile investment during the beta test. (For ex: addons and frontline were supposed to come 3 months ago according to Yoshida's interview last year)

Like the user I've quoted, I'm also quite aware of how much this game was dumbed down in term of quality and gameplay for the mass. I've tried to defend FF14 when the relaunch was swamped with login errors and bugs. When people whined about how patches were delayed, I tried to sympathize with Yoshida and the challenges his team had to keep everything running. But now I don't care anymore, I just don't want to see empty promises coming from Yoshida given how much faith I and many others have given him. I've put my money where my mouth is and I will keep subscribing at least to see how the expansion unfold.

tl;dr: Focus on promised content FAST, NOT on more platform launches

Personally I haven't bought either console (PS4 or XBone) because neither has shown any games that have released that I've wanted (and like hell I'll buy an XBone). I do play on the PS3, though, as well as the PC (but barely) and haven't seen any reason to stop playing on the PS3. Really, there's nothing about the PC version that entices me. You may consider consoles wasted manpower but I appreciate that they kept their word on a console release, even though it was a promise made during 1.0 by Tanaka. That speaks alot more to me than specs.

The PS4 version of this game is truly amazing and a big jump from the PS3 version.

The problem is the PS3 can barely run the game and they had to dumb the entire game down specifically to get it running on PS3. If they'd of kept it PC exclusive or at least skipped the PS3 straight to PS4 it may of had less subs but the quality of the game and content would likely be much better than it is right now.

The PS3 runs this game fine, not perfect, but it gets the job done. The problem with the argument you are presenting is that you subscribe to a lot of speculation brought forth by others or yourself and then present them as they are fact. The fact is we do not know if the fame would be better or more to your liking if the PS3 wasn't supported.

In the end I think we are both approaching it from two different points of view. You from a player, and me as a developer. While I do not know what SE has planned I do understand the vast amount of work that goes into what they had to do. In the end they have made a fantastic game, and the best way for the game to keep getting better is to being it to more audience. China, Xbox, Latin America, etc...

That's what I'm trying to do here, I can understand our point of view, and can respect you for it, but I disagree with your arguments as a whole.

How does trying to help SE port XIV to the XB1 count as support XBOX?

tl;dr: Focus on promised content FAST, NOT on more platform launches

Traditionally these two pieces are handled by different teams. I support Latin America being on its own setup because content localization could have an impact on speed of patches for the same reasons you give, but don't feel the same way about the game as you do. As I feel that Yoshio-P and team have proven themselves, and have delivered on their promises.

I agree and i'm sure many PS3 players feel the PS3 ver looks very good {but after you play on the PS4 ver you see just how much the PS3 ver is holding things back} with fates runs and lots of other stuff. this coming from someone that started on the ps3 :P
