    people need to stop comparing the two as the team's goals for the two are completely different.

    I guess when my x4 25 Bags become one 100 bag that can auto-sort, I'll believe this.

    Most recent update is that the Add-ons are now pushed back 6 months instead of the PS4 release, so we can look forward to it in about a years time..

    This makes no sense. ffxi had this so it's not like they changed it to save space.

    Prove that they specifically said multiple bags were required for the ps3 limited memory, otherwise you are just making stuff up.

    Actually it was to save space, it was because of the PS3's limited resolution that we are limited to a 4x25 bag system to fit within a certain maximum window size. Icons over text was simply to save memory since the PS3 is memory starved.

    Realistically? Outside of a bad memory leak... no.

    The poster I quoted was talking about 1 bag vs multiple, you can still do this with scrolling the way ffxi did. That proves nothing.

    They also went with a bag system because it's what certain generic MMORPGs uses since "list style" is outdated.

    My only real concern is that they'll hold up releasing PC content while they make it work (when possible) for PS3. If PS3 version is gonna hold up content releases then let the ps3 version catch up later.


    I don't really care if SE supports PS3 or not so long as it doesn't affect PC.
