Tomorrow, PS3 supports ends...

[Vhailor]

It's a good thing but I'm kinda sad. I, myself, started this game on PS3 and transfered my account to PS4 system later on.

Any of you guys still play on PS3? If so, what are you planning to do? Drop the game or migrate to another system?

I've only ever played the PC version, from the original 1.0 release onward. As you can expect, my feelings about the PS3 version are less... charitable, shall we say?

That said, it does evoke something of a reaction in me. Dropping support from a system is a big deal, and something SE hasn't really done before (except during FFXI's twilight hours). I do think it will be a good decision, overall, but who's to say? It'll also be interesting to see whether they take a similar approach to the PS4 in a few years, when it becomes every bit the burden the PS3 has been.

I'm a bit disappointed to see it go. I have a secondary FFXIV account (though I only occasionally activate it). Although I'd switched to primarily using PS4 ever since the PS4 version released, having PS3 as well allowed me to log in with both accounts concurrently (useful when I want to do things like invite my own alts into my FC). Now I'll be losing that ability since they'll both be limited to PS4 and I only have one PS4.

I also miss PS3's ability to take immediate screenshots. PS4's pattern of hitting the screenshot button and then waiting a second or two before it screencaps makes action shots pretty much impossible. But I pretty much gave up that ability years ago anyway, when I switched to primarily playing on PS4. Except for that, PS4 is equal or better on everything else.

The bigger question is what limitations will they use as an excuse to not add certain features now that they can't blame PS3 any more?

Budget. Man-power. Dev time.

If the PS4 is an issue by 5.0, I hope they do a similar free upgrade to PS5 or PC as they have for oldbie PS3 kids.

Nah, it'll be 32bit PC players who'll need to start upgrading then. The PS4 hasn't even broke a sweat when it comes to this game.
