So..to those of you saying the PS3 WAS NOT going to limit this game.

[Rochetm]

and with out console players there would be no final fantasy 14. the whole series would of died years ago if not for console users. it is the playstation (and formerly nintendo) players that made final fantasy a success.
this whole blame ps3 propaganda is nothing more than a witch hunt gone stale

These guys do it with every game now. I think they need to justify having spend 2-3x as much as the rest of who do the same thing with our PS3.

Because clearly no PC could ever suffer these kinds of limitations, amirite?

urite

Never seen anyone play on a laptop before.

FFXIV:ARR Windows minimum requirement: 2GB RAM.

PS3 RAM: 256MB.

Because clearly 2GB RAM on the PC can do less than the 256MB on the PS3, amirite?

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They also went with a bag system because it's what certain generic MMORPGs uses since "list style" is outdated.

　* PS3版のUI用に割り当てられたメモリと処理が制約の限界に近いため、　　既存の他のUI表示処理やデータから贅肉を落としてメモリと処理の「隙間」を作り、　　なんとかフォーカスターゲット用の領域を捻出できないか試行錯誤しています。
　　（いわゆる「最適化」とよばれる作業です）
*The memory and process for the PS3 versions UI is near it’s limit, therefore we are working to create some memory and processing space by removing excess data from existing UI process, and going through trial and error process to try and get space for the focus target.
(Basically this is what we known as optimization)


sad... dont you think?
Limitations THIS EARLY

Releasing the game for the PS3 was A HUGE, HUGE mistake.

Yeah agree and it's 1 reasion why they wen't with eggi summons for SMN instead of a actual size summon but of course they give us another excuse why they coulden't.

Uh, no
It is because the real Primals are already planned for FC content.

Ya my memory could be off, but I am 99% positive the FC summon idea came even before summoner was introduced. iirc the initial idea was only one fc on a server could capture a primal or something but once they used it, another could capture it.

This was back when Tanaka was still in charge and had said ffxiv wasn't going to have any pet classes (guess they hated trying to balance them in 11). But when Yoshi-P took over they did a poll on what class did people want back, and summoner won so.....they had to think of something else for them to summon.

PS3 players in my FC wipe on titan over and over because they say it can't load fast enough.

There's some false information here, and whoever claims this whether it was you or somebody else is retarded. I've done this countless times on my PS3, and the only thing I have encountered is lag in the connection, not the loading, and even that is rare nor has it actually hindered me.
