The PS3 killed FFXIV

the real problem, pc players have more advantage that console.
console players cant uses third party for voice chat program
players sometimes uses addon from third party

ffxi have real problem in many years the graphics become obsolet but can never upgrade for console limitation
ffxiv could have same problem

Can only agree on that. Console hardware is always already outdated upon its release and it's functionality is limited. That's what makes it a console. It's also harder to develope for consoles these days... too many limitations and pressure by the big console companies to make the good games into exclusive titles.
In ~20 years there will be no consoles left. Instead everyone will be playing via cloud services on his iPad or iBrain <.<

As a result of the recent announced changes to the leve system, I have concluded that this change was made specifically to cater to the console system audience. Why? Because console players in my view, have a different mentality than PC MMOers. Most people I personally know that play console games, don't sit down and play them for long periods of time. Couple of hours, couple of hours there. The changes to the system support a solocentric, login, have something to do, logout mentality. One where you never have to really "get involved" with the persistent world.

Its unfortunate.

I would love to see a FF MMO title developed solely with a PC MMO audience in mind. My guess is the end result would be a much better game.

Yes, because I didnt have 500 days of playtime out of 3 years on XI without bazaar time. Like many other PS2 and 360 users. Hmmmm.

No group chat while playing on PS3 as far as I know. I believe it's one of the upgrades Vita is getting.

Could be wrong though, my Ps3 gathers dust.

They decided to change Levequest System to remove the kind of feeling that you can feel when miss a reset...
I want to rember you all that FFXI went out FIRST for PS2, and all of us know how it's ended.

That is a ridiculous statement to make. There are many console gamers that can sit and play a game all day MMO or not. I know people that play COD all day everyday.

Perty much this.

A gamer is a gamer. Some have more time then others. Just be glad there are ppl that actually log on and play.

FFXIV is an FF MMO devoted to a PC audience. Do we really need to go over the result of that little experiment?

The PS3 version is the only hope this game has of survival. Get used to it.

I was strictly console player til i played ffxi for PS2. And the only reason I got a PC was to play another game similar, which obviously never happened because most PC mmos are instant satisfaction WoW clones. I know many ffxi console players who got pcs to play this as well, so your logic fails. If someone spends over $1000 to play one game at launch its safe to say they are interested in playing long hours. But most of them quit because SE tried to appeal to the WoW crowd as well, which i should remind you is pc only.

how could game consoles still exist in this era?

They will die out very soon. Who needs those ugly, energy hungry, always outdated money burners when your TV or tablet provides you with streaming games...
