They should scrap the PS3 version.

By the way, the compression of the video looks quite iffy to me. If you compare the *PC* graphics in the video with the benchmark running in real time on your PC, you'll notice a very big difference. So I wouldn't be so sure that the PS3 version looks exactly like that even in this state.

most probably still shuttering, just that it's might be less shuttering or the opposite... waiting for Phase 3

Almost always a game that comes out on the ps3 ends up looking worse on pc, because they decided not to do the high end texture work, high animation count anims, or any of a million other cross platform reasons..

I get it ! That's why Skyrim looks awful on PC...oh wait, it doesn't...

If you mean stuttering, i wouldn't worry about that too much, as the framerate of the PC version doesn't look top notch as well, and youtube is well known to do bad things to framerate.

What I mostly mean is the overall compression, the video looks very much plagued with artifact, lowering the overall quality by a lot.

Actually Skyrim is exactly one of the examples of a VERY bad port from console with almost no optimization whatsoever. Things have been addressed a bit with the high resolution texures addon (that is STILL very badly optimized on the other end of the spectrum and requires at least two different mods to become workable), but at launch it looked terrible for a PC game, with muddy textures and a terrible, horrible console-friendly UI. Even with the high resolution patch some things are simply inacceptable for a PC game, for instance the completely static waterfalls when seen at a distance, making them look like badly textured ice.

Skyrim on PC starts looking really good when modded, no thanks to Bethesda.

But again, this doesn't apply to FFXIV, because FFXIV's lead development platform is the PC, while Skyrim's was the Xbox 360.

oh btw my computer is 18 years old and i got a 9000 score so i think the Ps3 will be fine

no way your pc is 18 years old and can run 14.

Thats like saying N64 or SNES can run FF14.

16 bit FFXIV, can't wait.

I have no doubt that they will be able to get FFXIV to run great on PS3. My concern is that if they release the game for PS3, that they will then bind the game like FFXI.

For years FFXI fans have been asking SE to make FFXI look better. They responded that they are not able to because of the limitations of the PS2.

Here we are now, 8 months before the release of PS4; and SE still chooses to back itself in a corner again.

Yes the game will run fine on PS3, but in 5 years when the FFXIV fans ask SE for an upgrade. Be prepared for a "sorry we are unable to upgrade due to the limitations of the PS3" response.

This is where SE fails. They always seem to be 2 steps behind.

yes i know its not optimized yet..

but i was -always- wondering. what they are going to do, when about 50 players are on screen at the same time? it will become a lag fest wont it?

there should also be an option for the ps3 to lower down the details in these cases. No? (when i think of mass pvp or FATE or other big events)

This has been covered you know. Multiple times in this thread alone. XI's original system is the PS2, so all the ports after that were based on that. XIV is PC First, PS3 second. So the PC version is made first, with all it's HD goodness, then downported for the PS3.

The PS3 version will have a character display limit exactly like 1.0 did.
