Force PS3 players to migrate over to PS4 and then drop support for it

[omniwaink]

I logged onto the PS3 version a week ago. It is an absolute disaster. The frame rate stuttered between 10 and 15 in a completely unpopulated zone (Camp Tranquil). The textures were muddy and washed out, enemy and character models would pop in and out at random ranges, and on a 54 inch TV the interface looked like someone vomited on the screen.

It's 2014, and this is not acceptable.

One of two things needs to happen with this game going forward - either the PS3 players need to have their own servers and dumbed down interface/graphics/versions of content, or SE needs to force them to migrate over to the PS4 and pull the plug on PS3 support once the next expansion hits.


Edit: For those of you who don't think the PS3 version will hold back FF14, check out this trailer of FF11's December 2013 updates:

Move faster than previously imagined!!!!!! It seriously looks like an N64 game, and it's 2013. Sigh.

I wish everyone could afford a shiny new PS4.

costs less than the gpu most people are using, much less the entire pc. To be fair.

This. It probably going to take a long time before SE drops support; I only seeing it happening in a future expansion(not next one) where they don't release a version for the PS3.

1. OP sound stupid as hell.

2. When they do stop support for PS3, PS3 players will still be able to play and obtain every expansion just like when SE dropped support for the PS2 NA and EU. FFXI is still supported on PS2 in Japan.

Yes, have them alienate everyone who can't afford a ps4 and lose millions in subscription money. That's a smart business move. Nobody is forcing you to play on ps3 when it comes out on ps4.

"let's make everyone stop playing on ps3 because I think it's garbage"

millions? i assume you let your emotions get ahead of your brain on that one. Unless you are ignorant enough to think their are millions of PS3 players that is.

No offense.

If people have a ps3, they have a ps4. If they dont they intend to very soon. If neither of those apply they could care less as they are on the PC which DOES have millions of subs :P

Probably should read as they said millions in money, not PS3 users.
