"PS3 Limitations"

[Cyrusskorrey]

Then a game with incredible potential will be forever crippled.

My PHONE has better hardware than the ps3, let that sink in

dosnt mean your phone can play it.

PS2 limitations are what held FFXI back from reaching it's full potential. The development team has already stated that they most certainly will drop PS3 when it's limitations begin to interfere with development.

Yoshi already said that the PS3 would be supported for the foreseeable future.

He also said he wouldn't let the game be held back by hardware limitations like FFXI was. However, I do think killing off the PS3 until it just can't hack it would be a wise decision right now. That would greatly upset the fan base if done too early. That being said, the flipside is also true. It must be done before it really kills the game in terms of limitations.

He said that the first expansion would support PS3. He followed that by saying that PS3 support will be dropped when it begins to hinder the development process.

I'm in no hurry to see it go, though. I don't play on PS3, so as long as it doesn't effect the content that I receive on PC, I don't see why it would bother me that it's still being supported. I just don't want to see the same major flaw with FFXI get repeated here. When you have to start limiting content because you have to make it run on ancient hardware, it really begins to damage the game overall.

So when they say that they can't implement something due to limitations or restrictions (like housing), is the game really approaching it's limit before we even get to 3.0?

Housing restrictions were a result of server limitations, not PS3 limitations. That will be solved in 2.4 as well.

Doubtful considering the number of players we have versus just how much they're adding (which doesn't really "solve" the limited housing persay). But I'll go with the server limitations thing. Some of the content they've added back in 2.3 is pushing stress onto the PS3 players though, such as the hunts. I feel that's a big limiter with what they can do and can't do with open-world content that encourages mass participation.
