    PS3 and low-end PCs are not holding the game back in the way that you believe. Expanding the inventory and armory chest is not something that is impacted by any 'limitation' of the PS3 or low end PCs. The issue with inventory and armory space is architecture related in terms of how the game holds character information in live memory and continually backs it up. Removing support for the PS3 (which is highly anticipated) will not alter that a single bit. I wish people would stop blindly blaming one platform or another for something when in fact is has little to nothing to do with the restriction being complained about.

    @kosmos. Agreed, but I think it has to do with Yoshi specifically stating that these things are due to ps3 limitations.

    You are entirely correct, but 2 things:

    1.) Can you blame them? When Square has gone on record constantly blaming platform limitations?
    2.) There's still plenty of things that are actually the fault of ps3 and low-end pcs that I'm looking forward to being addressed once they drop support.
