Hunts unplayable on ps3(Yes another thread)

Ruin? No, but I'm not paying so you can play the game.

Your subs pay for the servers and updates so technically you do pay for me to play. Thanks!

The fix is to build a PC.

Too many of these dumb threads, buying a console does NOT make you immune to the changes in technology. Live with it

As long as SE support the PS3, they are responsible to ensure that all content for FFXIV works as intended on the platform.

Those who say "just upgrade" are completely missing the point. Upgrading should be optional to get a better experience in terms of graphical quality, framerate etc etc. It should not be required to actually play the actual content. Would it be fair if Apple made it so that making calls was only possible on the newest iPhone?

Would you PS3 laggards upgrade if given a free to upgrade to the PS4?

I could buy the game again, that's not the issue. Atm I have no reason to buy a PS4 (there are still games for PS3 I'm interested in that haven't come out yet and there's nothing I like on PS4) and PS3 is still supported so I'm gonna keep playing on PS3. When I'll buy one, I'll upgrade.

Also, I find it humorous that certain people cannot fathom why a player of a FINAL FANTASY mmo might want to own a Playstation console rather than a PC.

You crack me up lol...

You aren't entitled to the game running at its best for all contents just because the ancient platform you play on is supported.

Look at an FPS game like Battlefield 4. Do you not think the person with the better PC running a higher framerate and draw distance is at an advantage?

Minimum requirements like a PS3 are NEVER ideal to play on. If you want the everything to run smoothly you need to meet the RECOMMENDED requirements, and for this game it's a GTX660. (PS4 is also near equal to a GTX660).

Either way, due to the incredibly low framerate you're at a major disadvantage in all endgame content.

SE isn't going to tailor the game to PS3, as you can see they just pass it off as barely playable, just like a PC with MIN specs.

If you want better, spend some money and stop being so cheap. If you don't have the money, maybe video games shouldn't be your priority.

If you do make it in time but can't see the mob, try using a macro of <tt> with an attack spell/skill and target someone you CAN see. This helped me when I was on a ps3 and Svara was a big deal to people, maybe it will help with hunts.

This doesn't work for me.
When I'm on PS3 and someone is invisible, it's not only that I can't see or target them, they are really not there.
Doing Hunts on PS3 is nearly impossible when there are too many people. You don't see the enemy, you don't even see your party members. BUT you can see random people and ALL their pets. They should at least also make it for A and B ranks that they have highest priority to be displayed and then your party members. And then yourself. ;D

That's why it's great to also have the option to play on PC. ^^
And I won't buy a PS4 until there is more than one interesting game FOR ME to play.
The game WORKS on PS3 and there are some little things they could do to make it work a bit better as long as it's supported. Like display priority of enemies and party members. Don't let me only see 10 Garuda-egis in Hunts, that would be one step forward. xD

The hardware is the problem.
Replace the hardware with better hardware.

Problem solved.

Because I use both the TV and PS3 for multiple functions. The PS3 is used for gaming, playing blu rays and Netflix/Amazon streaming. The TV is used to watch movies, shows, sporting events, play games.

A PC would have one single purpose: FFXIV. I couldn't even use it for work, as the program I use is Mac based (my current computer is a Mac). I'm not going to spend the time and money to build a system for the single purpose of playing one game. And I shouldn't be expected to.

Selective spending isnt the same as unable to afford equipment, selective spending is more of a personal thing then circumstances, this is down to you more then the game in this situation. What you spent your money on to start with is also your choice, again its your problem.
