Yeah if you hate PS3 users so much go play the other 1000's MMO's for PC and leave the only one we have alone

I saw a few people saying they still support FFXI on Ps2. Outside of Japan they don't. While the Ps3 version isn't an immediate danger to FFXIV's progression it *may* in the future, but not anytime soon.

They still allow NA users to log in using PS2 they just never "officially" released the expansion pack for NA HOWEVER you can still get SoA to work on the PS2 using homebrew and loading the japanese files into the proper areas of the HDD then doing a file check it will force an update to patch them over into english. So it is still supported it just takes a bit more effort to use your system of choice.

OH SURE SURE.

Just let me crap 400$ out my arse and I'll get back to you.

That's half my pay check right there.

But, I'm a PC user and FF XIV isn't enough to get me to drop that kind of bones on a PS3 much less a PS4. Heck, I need to make some hardware upgrades to my PC but that is currently not a possibility, but I save when I can.

While support for the PS3 probably will be dropped outside of Japan, I don't expect it to happen any time in the near future.

Actually, you miss the point.

It's not about graphics, the PS3 version will always factor into the design philosophies of the the PS4 and PC versions.
The poster above you pointed out one of those with cities split into two and zone loading. This is because of the PS3, you can't argue that.

I don't think I have missed the point. Firstly, I don't believe that split instances has to do with ps3 limitation since we had pretty massive open worlds in 1.0. This was more of a design choice to help reduce the server load per map. Just like how waking sands is in an instance of it's own? Also, you act like zone loading would be completely eliminated if ps3 did not exist which is completely not true =.=.... Aside from that, there really is no design philosophy that will be greatly affected by the PS3.THE ONLY only thing that is affected by this multiplatform support is the inventory design. But this won't change regardless if you op support for ps3 OR ps4 because it's just easier for console players to manage t heir inventory this way. It is just something we as pc players have to accept for now (perhaps in the future it'll be a switchable option just like gamepad/hotbars).

Other than that, the only thing they have to adjust every time content is pushed out is that ps3 has to have their graphic settings set to low while other platforms can do it on high.

Oh hey I just argued that it wasn't the ps3. Guess it was possible.

Provided they give a free PS4 to every PS3 owner... I support this message.
