If I'm reading right the OP is saying for the NEW players who starting fresh on the PS3 OR the PC players who wish to start from scratch with the NEW FFXIV (after all the updates/upgrades/etc.) they also can start one on the PS3 then it will be a new char on new server. If you're PC player already and want to play the same char on PS3 it's just matter of logging in with that char anyways no?

IF PS3 players WANTS to play with friends or already existing server knowing that their are R50's all around already, let them choose that. I don't see nothing wrong with this stuff. If OP means same as what I just said here then I support this.
