Playstation 3 Limitations going forward

Flagged for being inflammatory for what? Because I asked a simple question? I never said drop ps3 support, and I never dissed ps3 players. I asked how will the limiting factors of the ps3 influence the further development of the game. Didn't know that was so offensive and inflammatory.

Your right you didn't say it. You just implied it. Do you honestly think your first person to figure out out to say something without actually saying it? Your not fooling anyone. It's the oldest trick in any politician's playbook. I should know. I've lived in Washington D.C. my whole life. SE will drop PS3/PS4 or PC when or if they decide to and not before. SE might even bring on new systems half way through its lifespan (They did it with FF11 and the Xbox 360.) It all depends on the state of the game in the future which frankly, nobody can predict. As I said before, every system has a weakness that anyone can argue is "hurting" the game. But frankly, we are all gamers. Some have a favorite system while others have no preference. How about we just agree that we all love FFXIV: ARR? Let's keep the General Discussion of the forums social and upbeat. I have already been guilty in the past of not taking my own advice. Don't make the same bad choice I did.

A thread similar to this one has already been locked by the forum mods over this subject. Take the hint.

no, stop please, you are simply going to far, most player are pc based, stop assuming ps3 version is the main version.

about the limitation i have given, it was Yoshida himself that have answer the question of the beta tester while phase 1-2 about the limitation of the space, name and why the capitale was cut in two... feel free to flee reality, when information are given by the director and you try to ignore it it's fun.

You sound as if the capitals were not cut in two during 1.0

Example Ul'dah:

Q: My regional levequest ended all of a sudden while I was in transit. Why did this happen to me?

A: In order to improve server load-balancing and alleviate lag, the November version update introduced a system that splits existing areas into several sub-areas. As a result, the effective "ranges" of regional guildleves have become smaller, and some players may be exiting a levequest's area without intending to do so. We apologize for any inconvenience this change has caused.

From november 2010, long before the PS3 version came out

They also moved the Inn NPC some months after the Inn came ingame from the adventure guild to the middle of Ul'dah, because in the subzone with the adventure guild were also the aetheryte, the city gates and the market. In result of this the Inn NPC got bugged until he moved to the other subzone where less people were. The doors to the adventure guild was also bugged because of too many people in the subzone. They fixed it with removing the doors so it would be open all the time.

You see, the Devs decided to use 2 zones for the capitals was more because they learned it from 1.0 instead of PS3 limitation. Sure, bugged NPCs because of overcrowded zones would have hit the PS3 harder, but also the PC.
