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

[SoliasCrinfain]

They didn't drop PS2 support from XI so I doubt that PS3 support for XIV will. Other than the launch rush, the process of the general population making the switch can take about 2 years or so (when the first big price drop hits). Making that cut too early means cutting off customers who are willing to pay a monthly subscription fee.

I was playing at a friend's house and he was on his PC. He had already skipped the cutscene and ran over and opened the treasure chest before my loading screen had even halfway finished. Since I play a tank I feel bad about this because everyone absolutely is waiting on me every time (I have recently been playing around with CNJ as well so again everyone is waiting on my butt).

Just out of curiosity, how did the PS4 launch go? The PS2 and 3 launches were hit by pretty nasty shortages. Were there big eBay rushes again?

I'm just NOW seeing PS4's sitting on shelves.

I bought 2 at launch and resold 1 for almost double so essentially I ended up paying I think something like $50 for mine

I play in both versions PC and PS3(because home and work). I can confirm 2 thing that anoy me in ps3 version... first ps3 is not FULL HD and second the framerate is terrible! if you compare for example acheron or behemoth atacking in ps3 vs PC you will see then atacking like a "paper moving with lag"... it need be fixed ^^ i hope ps4 version not will be the same with that terrible framerate... the game is playable in ps3 but their need do some updates to fix thoses 2 things.

According to the dev team, the PS4 version will run at 60 FPS. Now under which graphical setting, that still stands to be made clear. Either way, I am getting dreadfully tired of reading these threads.

I don't think they should force a switchover for an expansion or two, but once PS4 is a couple models in and the price is half or less, PS3 support should be dropped or lessened to limited areas of the game.

This just kills me.lol I have just as much fun on my PS3 as my PC(which exceeds recommended requirements). This is what's holding the game back, as you say:
FXIV: ARR Minimum System Requirements

Operating System: Windows® Vista 32/64bit, Windows® 7 32/64 bit
Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo
Graphics: NVIDIA® Geforce® 8800 Series, ATI Radeon™ HD 4770
Memory: 2GB (4GB recommended for 64bit OS)
Disk Space: 20GB.

You may notice that these are lower than the minimum system requirements for v1.0. This is because Square Enix wants the game to be more accessible and run on a wider range of PCs.

So just stop the nonsense please!

I was about to bring this point up but you beat me to it. it isnt the PS3 the game was redesigned for, it was redesigned for the widest possible audience while maintaining as much of the graphics as they could get away with. despite it not being as high graphics wise as 1.0 I still think its beautiful and they have done a good job.

I have really no issues playing on PS3 and my experience is fantastic...I guess the true test is when I finally play on PS4 and see if I have actually been "missing" something all along and just did not know it. Ignorance is bliss right now because I don't know what I am missing...maybe if I knew someone playing on a bad ass PC and got to see them play then I would know for sure. Are the graphics actually better? Or is it just the frame rate??
