BETA TEST ROADMAP IS UP!

I realize that it's not as simple as this but looking at the summer estimated release, I can't help but wonder why they don't just hold the release a few more months and launch this on the ps4. I mean, clearly we have waited this long for it, what's a few more months right ? :0

Again, I understand there is more to it than that but, they seem to have plenty of time.

we don't have an exact release date from Sony for the ps4 only rumors and speculated release dates. To add even more the ps4 will be very different from the ps3 so the coding, programming, etc etc will require alot of time for development etc,etc. i would hope SE wouldn't just do a simple ps3 port to the ps4 for ffxiv later down the road that would just cause more problems.

Plus SE already said they will release the ps3 version at all cost and even before thinking about releasing it for ps4. also (not trying to be an ass) SE does not have plenty of time, technically speaking they could take as long as they want to relaunch 14. but in reality they can't take too little or too long since if its a short time many problems will exist along with bugs, glitches, etc etc ppl will say they used all this X amount of time to fix the game and it's still broken. Or if they take too long ppl will 1- say its not good and our expectations weren't meet given its natural for humans expectations to increase overtime and 2- ppl wont even be their since they will have already lost interest and went with the competition.

And another point would be that the amount of current PS3 owner is higher than the amount of PS4 buyer on the PS4 release date.
SE can always bring out a PS4 client after enough people bought a PS4.
