So Europe misses out on a boxed CE of Heavansward? (PS3)

SE way to say that it is time to upgrade to a PS4. Because they already plan to drop the PS3 version in the future, maybe with the 4.0

Thats kinda unfair and sucks, I mean we got Collectors Editions of ARR, Lightning Returns, FFXIII, FFXIII-2, FFX HD and the two Kingdom Hearts remasters - so why not this?

Those games (except ARR) don't exist for PS4 yet. And the PS3 ARR CE came out before the PS4 version.

Yet the NA players arent forced to upgrade?
As the PS3 CE is been released over there, so again why we left out?

The PS3 version probably sold so poorly over there.

That will never happen!

That would be really stupid from SE. xD
People would just quit this game, they dont buy a new console just for 1 game they want to play.
And I doubt SE gives us PS3 user a Free PS4!

Yoshi already said they would like to drop the PS3 because of too many limitations to their system with it and they will be doing it sometime in the future, maybe in the next year or so.

And no, it wouldn't be stupid, the PS3 is old and out of date, they are limiting what they can do for a system that can't handle it. A used PS4 is like 200$ ... that is saving 50$ on a bi-weekly paycheck ... o.O

And I dont know if we can have the same PS3 Profile also active on PS4! (wich is need to play FF14) There so many games on PS3 I want to play.
(Still many ps3 games made by Japan!)

Maybe in 1-X years I will buy a PS4 IF new PS3 games wont be released. o;

Production costs arent much of an excuse at this stage given the sales and paid account numbers, this must be raking in millions of dollars/pounds a month in subs

...yeah, more like they shouldn't be much of an excuse. But look at how many times we're still being given the answer "small dev team" or "hardware/server/infrastructure limitations" - basically just as much as in the first weeks/months after launch. (Re: housing, again, just to mention one example.) So yeah, I don't know how much common sense and logic apply here.

Also, regardless of what Yoshi said or didn't say - the fact that PS3 is gonna be dropped sometime in the future is pretty much given. The thing's close to its 9th birthday, which is a very long time in tech. And there's already a list of things they needed (and still need) to tweak because of the PS3. If FFXIV has a life of 10 or more years, we can pretty safely assume PS3 support will be dropped somewhere during that time. No need for Yoshi to comment on it in any way for that.
