    add-on tools for the PS3 will never happen. the PS4 though is a whole other story. i don't own one. nor have i read much about it. but i would imagine Sony was able to figure out a way to allow modifications without compromising their security. Microsoft did it with the 360 and this is still true. you can buy a developers account for the 360. and while Sony's PS3 allowed modifications through OtherOS. it compromised security and Sony's network got hacked. it caused a lot of damage.

    i THINK only firmware 3.43 or 3.41 and before support OtherOS. but without up-to-date firmware you can't play FFXIV:ARR anyhow.

    Going back a fairly long way the dev team said that player made add-ons would be PC only. In the case of add-ons that become very widespread and have a high enough demand they will "officially" port the add-on into the game so that it will be available on the console versions. I don't expect to see any player add-on development package for consoles though.

    I also imagine that the "officially" imported add-ons for PS3 will be significantly more limited than what eventually finds its way onto the PS4, hardware limitations and all that. Perhaps some of the add-ons for PC that exist in separate processes, like the current parsers, will get ported into second screen apps for the Vita as well. I think I'd like some of those, a gear manager add-on that could store both gear and action bar layouts, a remote inventory, I'm rambling now ...
