PlayStation 3 version: Why Bother?

[Yolteotl]

The same is often said about the PS2, and yet the PS2 version of FFXI is plagued with years-old, game-breaking bugs that force a hard reset of the console.

Even in the Japanese market, S-E has a history of shafting console players in their MMO's, forcing players to migrate to PC in the end.

I don't understand this comment. FFXI still plays fine on the PS2 so what are these supposed years-old, game breaking bugs that force a hard reset. The largest bugs that existed in FFXI were from porting the game over to the Xbox 360 (which is why I don't think it's a good idea to bring FFXIV out for the WiiU; be realistic SE prolly wont redevelop the game for the maximum efficiency for the WiiU they'll just port it like every other multi-platform developer)

And again PS2 support is continuing for FFXI for Seekers of Adoulin in JP because there is a market for it in Japan, I'm not surprised if SE did a market analysis and realized it wasn't a pertinent market in NA anymore and just dropped it.

Only time I know of SE shafting MMO players are people who played Front Mission Online and then SE cancelled it.
