People really need to stop blaming the PS3 for all of FFXIV graphic deficiencies.

Firstly, PS3 aren't the only "low spec" machines out there. Low end PCs have to be taken into consideration too.

Secondly, SSS for realistic skin is very much an "optional" feature - like full reflection for water. SE already allow significant visual differences between PC and PS3 which will only get larger with the release of the DX11 client adding parallax mapping for the ground and tessellation for water.
