The end of Playstation 3 support.

[Kosmos992k]

XIV on PS3 wasn't released until 2013 though. So I'm sure SE knew of the shortcoming it would have and made it anyways. So from consumer standpoint doesn't matter when the system came out it when the came game out.

SE made a promise regarding FFXIV on PS3 which they kept - which is unusual in and of itself, but especially given the circumstances. When FFXIV was re-built the expanded PC compatibility included PCs that were contemporary to the original PS3. If you look at the actual specifications and issues that low end PCs experienced, it reads very similarly to the issues players experienced with PS3.

Back in the day, I used PS3 as did my wife and son, we all upgraded to PS4 and never looked back - so to speak. However the only real issue we ever experienced with the PS3 was when fighting Odin, or the hunt zerg rushes. Labyrinth of the Ancients (24-player) was never a problem, frame rates were sometimes low, but rarely unplayably so. the Svara fate in Coerthas was the one other issue early on, but once the draw priority was changed, it improved.

However those same issues existed for players with lower end PCs, so I don't see your argument here.

The point is people are running around saying how PC is so much better and they all console support should be dropped, which I guess none of those people stop to think of the lower end PCs and Yoshi-p view point of wanting everything to be equal.
