Ok,I don't like what's going on with the PS3..?.

Hello guys,we all know Yoshi said : -Ps3 isn't going to be a problem for PC,neither for limitations etc-?. Well,he said yesterday they will drop the support for PS3 next year or at the end of the next year. I actually can't understand that,why releasing a game ( a MMORPG ) when they will drop the support for it within 2 years or less,when XI still lives?. I don't get it,why just don't release it for PS4/PC?. I must be honest,I can't afford a PS4 now,and I don't even think my PC can handle the game,so what I must do now,continue paying knowing one day we will be cutted of?. I am sorry for my English ( ) and I hope you could explain to me what's going on...Have a good day guys,and of course you all,Square & co!.

Before you cause some kind of mass hysteria in here, gonna need you to provide a source of where YoshiP says SE is dropping ps3 support within the next year or so.

You need to provide a link to this so we can read and confirm or deny based on how we understand the article, forum post, etc.

I'll put your mind at ease, in 2 more years all the parts in my computer will be dirt cheap. I run ffxiv perfectly fine now.

How can we answer something that's on your mind?

Source please?

post proof or stop wasting thread space. i hiiiiiiighly doubt SE has any plans on removing ps3 support in the near or even distant future, they put way to much money into developing the software to just give up after a couple of years. not to mention the subs they would lose would probably topple the game.

From that link

Regarding future of PS3 version:

Do you plan to continue to support the PS3 version even after the PS4 version is released?

Y: At this moment, we've already begun work on the expansion pack, and I can tell you that at the very least the PS3 version will be supported up to that point.

Does that mean there's a possibility that PS3 users will no longer be able to continue playing beyond that expansion?

Y: It may be a possibility in the future.

How far off in the future are we talking about here?

Y: That will depend on how long people continue to play on the PS3. I've mentioned in the presentation this morning that I want to make sure that "FFXIV continues to innovate", and there's certainly the possibility that whatever innovation we seek will come with certain technical requirements. For example in EQN, which I mentioned earlier, it would not be possible to realize certain things like physic-based gameplay without meeting the hardware prerequisites. So if this becomes something that players want and we start to see people leave for rival products, then we can't just sit around twiddling our thumbs either. After all, we too need to ensure we have the necessary weapons to take on other MMORPGs in the future.

For example, if we were to have a large-scale FATE where players can ride on a flying mount and freely fly around and swoop down at a dragon that is 200 meters long, players would probably be impressed and entertained. However, it would also require us to raise the minimum requirement when it comes to hardware specs.

Our aim has always been to develop the game so that players can have the same experience no matter which hardware they play on. However, if we were to become too fixated on this and become unable to innovate, then this will cease to be a FF game. So I do not plan to say that we will support the PS3 version forever. At the same time, I'm not saying that we'll be ending support by next year or anything like that either, so don't worry.

straight up translation end here. so much work lol

PS3 version will be supported until at least 3.0

The PS3 version will most likely continue as long as enough people are still using it.
