So are consoles holding back this game?

NO NO you got me wrong,

PS4 can run anything that supports DX on pc and xbox BUT what i am saying here is that i am trying to explain to the ignorant people that think DX11 can be on ps4 is not a possibility because it is a microsoft software

and yes square can make update the things in the PS4 version but not with DX11 but with the same functionalities that DX11 offers on PC etc

the wait has paid off the features that are in DX 11 are coming to PS4

I don't think console are holding this game back, just look at how 1.0 turned out it was only crappy gameplay that caused the game to fail.

That game looked amazing compare to FF14 v2.

"Looked"...

"Looked"...

Well ''looked'' because it's dead no? I talk about graphics here not actuall gameplay. Graphics, shadows, pixels etc, all of it looked better than we have now.

Yeah, it "looked" great, but graphics isn't the only thing that carries a game... with SOME exceptions. It's gameplay. And from what I've seen of 1.0, it was just slow and not dynamic at all. No wonder it went the way it did.

Anyways, it's moot now. But since I've upgraded to the PS4, I'll go ahead and agree with letting go of PS3 development. It's not needed anymore.

True. I started on ps3 as well and went to ps4, what a huge change... crazy. Faster loading, graphics, ui looked better etc, it was like a new game tbh. And yah I do agree, how current ff14 could been instead of what it is not, is another story and wont discuss it in here, since it's not on topic. But yes, fully agree with ya!

I am glad the next expansion wont be on PS3. So then we can move on to better things.

The thing is. Drop PS3 won't mean we will have suddenly a lot of character customization, open world areas, a diferent gameplay or that. Game will be the same, but with some more stuff on screen, like more HUD layouts, more players at the same time, more models and textures, or a little bigger areas. They wont change the way the characters works, neither will change graphic engine (The FFXIII one).

Do not expect bigger changes, that won't happend.

I think mostly load times here are the huge factor. Because PS3 user's load times affect anyone entering a dungeon. We just sit there for a few minutes waiting for them to load in...

That is to say nothing of the effects on the PS3 user themselves. Such as making it to hunts because of loadtimes, etc.
