Theres a thread a few pages back. The issue needs to be kept alive though, we need -some- information.

Omg yes Release the ps3 version I can not play this game on pc unless the grapic are turned down to like 2 <.< do not have moneys to upgrade

The last bit of info of ps3 was it was "finished and just about ready for testing" then all this ffxiv changes started happening. So far we got told ps3 delayed till further notice till ffxiv for pc was "up to par" wuth a good plan rolling is.

With how many fansites have been acting to the changes, like about the quests. It may not happen soon. I wanted to play ffxiv just for the sole reason as it was an mmorpg, it was going to be open world (lil to no zoning) and it was the first mmo i heard of to use the motion captured tech as seen in the movie avatar(sp?).

I find it funny ppl claim FFxiv isn't inovated or brang nothing new to the mmo scene. I think motion capture tech is new, I only seen very few games have it. And Avatar was one of few movies to use it on the scale it did. The motions and emotes are in my opinion very fluid.

Anyway more info on this will be nice. I bought the pc version but my pc died b4 I could install it. It stinks to look at the Crystal Edition case cover every day

We will be lucky to see the PS3 version by 2012. Too much to do in that time.

Let them fix the game first... Seriously.

I think they want to make the ps3 launch as flawless as possible, considering how bad the pc launch went. its essentially their do-over, and the game will be in rough waters if they fail twice.

They can fix it while we have players on the PS3. Lot of people just want to be able to play with their friends, and care less about the state of the game but more about the social aspect and leveling together.

The issue, I believe, is that a patch or large update has to go through a lot more red tape to be released on a console. With the amount of patches coming out, at this rate, the next patch would be "ready" before the last patch ever hit the consoles. This would mean that either the PC version would be perpetually one patch ahead (until things slowed down), or that the PC patches would have to be delayed for a synced release. This is the reason that Epic games gave for not allowing cross-platform game play between PC and PS3 and I can see it being a major factor in the choice to delay the PS3 version while the PC version is being renovated.

That being said, I agree with your sentiments, I only bought the PC version as a placeholder to keep my appetite sated until the PS3 build arrived.

Beside, with the game burned on bluray you can't make so much changes to system as you can on PC, unless the game would be fully installed on HDD.

You can rest assured that the game will be fully installed on the PS3's HDD, with the (possible) exception of some larger media (like prerendered cinematics). Considering the game weighs in at about 10 GB on the PC, which amounts to a little more than two "normal" PS3 games cache installs.

Anyway, I am not so much interested in an exact date that the PS3 version will be released, dates like that are hard to pin down and all but impossible to hit. What I want is to see the check list (even if it is dynamic) so that we can see where we stand. A lot of my recommendations to friends to play this game is based entirely on having a PS3 port.
