An SSD is game changing for the PS3 version, take the advice from the people who have made the change. If you are planning on using the PS3 version for a while you'd be a lot better off using an SSD. If you play on PC as well or want a PS4 then you'd be better off saving for the PS4, but obviously financially the PS4 is a hell of a lot more money than 1 SSD lol! It's definitely worth it if you play XIV a lot.
