You've never seen a Sweet FX screenshot, I'm guessing...

Nope, nor people whining about them.

What it mostly changes are things like small details, like color vibrancy, softness or sharpness of shadows, things that by themselves are hard to really notice without before and after images. Here are some from a website that displays the differences. Granted, with Sweet FX, you can changes a lot of graphical quality things, and the person who took there put wayyy too much emphasis on the monitor edge shading, as you can see by the edges of the screen captures. (Note: These are not my screenshots)

The complaining is actually just me joking. I've yet to actually hear anything from PS4 users about the difference.

EDIT: Here is someone on the FFXIV site who actually customized theirs better than they person I got these from>>> http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...8/forum/56880/

It looks like the "dynamic" setting on my TV. That first one actually looks worse to me with the touch up. The clouds and sky are totally washed out. The second one just looks like the lighting is brighter. Won't get any whining about it from here.

Like I said, the program has thousands of different settings to change, that guys was just the first one I could find without going home (at work right now) and taking shots myself, and I agree, he really messed up his stuff, particularly with not changing the distance edit function to off.

PS3 general support is going to discontinue anyway.

Most console makers quit legacy support a few years after a new model is out. When Sony cuts PS3 support, then yeah, so will SE.

Funny, they have yet to do that with XI and the PS2 and Sony isn't even making those anymore. Yoshida has said that they may drop the PS3 assuming interest in the console wanes substantially. I.e. a sizable population of PS3 players transfers from the console.

like said by Yoshida, is not only the populetion, but the impact of the hardware on the innovation possible that will lead them to take a decision.

honestly most people do have a pc in them house and FF14 don't recquire a very powerfull computer for run it, the escuse of: computer are expensive... is getting old now. especially since a computer ca be used for many thing.

PS4's can run just as good as some PC's, if not better. However I have to agree with PS3's holding back the game to some extent. My load times on PS3 were absolutely awful and that was with ARR. Of course I'm not saying cut off PS3 players, just it's obvious that sometime, as the game progresses, it's just not going to be able to handle it anymore.

This one.

I was on PS3 before going to PS4, and my friend is on PC, and we sometimes play in the same room. I see little difference between the PS4 and PC in terms of, well, everything except load times. I don't think memory or anything like that is an issue on PS4.

On PS3, however, it is. We got Snowcloak as part of a roulette the other day, and the healer was having trouble staying alive because she couldn't see what the boss was doing. And I completely understood, because I was in the exact same position once before. If boss fights with snow effects have massive framerate stutters and lag up simply because of the graphics, I can only imagine what Heavensward must be like.

I tried to find graphics comparison screenshots, and I couldn't. It seems most people (at least, gaming outlets) aren't even acknowledging that the PS3 version exists. It will really stink for PS3 players, but the system won't be able to handle it much longer.
