    Good luck playing this game on a 250 buck PC.

    Not that this problem has anything to do with PS3, but hey.
    This problem has everything to do with the PS3. It was the same story with FFXI and the PS2.

    If they want to make a game for a console, they should do that and not bother with PCs because a PC game that makes concessions in order to work on consoles with standard input devices (pads) cannot compete with other PC games. The end result is a really bad PC game (because it's limited by console hardware) and a less than perfect console game (because resources are wasted on the PC port).

    As far as cost goes, a PS3 may only cost 250 bucks or whatever, while a desktop with acceptable FFXIV performance probably costs ~$500, but why would you ever buy a console if you don't already have a computer? So all the people complaining about not being able to afford a gaming PC probably already have some shitty laptop AND a PS3 for a combined cost that far exceeds the desktop they'd need to run the game.
