So are consoles holding back this game?

FFXIV: 1.0 was PC exclusive with most computers not being able to run it with how beautiful the graphics were and the no load screens. It failed because of this. While 2.0/3.0 doesn't look as crisp and beautiful, it is successful in how it now works gameplay wise.

PS4 can handle the updates for at least 6 years assuming the game goes that long. I'm hoping for another long run like XI but PS3 will eventually have to be dropped because the areas are getting bigger. Going back to 1.0 size which is a good thing. Sooner or later the PS3 won't be able to load everything. The draw distance will be 3 feet in front of them.

"Customization for Au Ra" obvious no developer would add more to a race/character appearance because a few guys want it. (Aside from hair and face paint)

Laughing at the fact that Black Desert is coming to the PS4 as well. . .

Actually, a huge amount of people want more customisation.

Let me guess? Butt sliders, and small horns?

I'm not particularly concerned about my butt, and I rather like my horns (icon is outdated), but in all seriousness, this game does lack customisation and the excuse has always come down to 'limitations'.

I honestly do not know how anyone still playing on PS3 is looking forward to continue playing on it and not making arrangements to upgrade to a PS4 at this point. I made the switch as soon as PS4 became available and could not imagine ever going back.

I understand that not everyone is able to do that on day one but PS4 has been out almost two years now and XIV has been on it for over a year... anyone serious about continuing to play this game on a console should've been able to make the switch by now. I hope Yoshida keeps his word about cutting out PS3 access after 3.0 is finished.

Actually no its not officially confirmed, they stated that if they can bring the same experience to the PS4 without downsizing the quality then they will do it, but they won't allow it to hinder the PC experience since its basically a giant MMO sandbox without load times so the world is rendered in realtime.

I never became a lizard person but the only complaint I have is scale skin, would be better to have a remove option. Everything else is Ok

It's more of just having little to work with. The actual character designs are nice, but for example the horns are attached to their face shapes (I'm sure you've seen the huge thread about this). Their excuse for not having them separate comes down to the limitations which obviously means PS3 since PS4's and PC's could no doubt handle it.
