"PS3 Limitations"

[StrejdaTom]

I believe they will drop the PS3 support, but it is still too soon to do that.
Winter 2015 seems ok.

How is the ps3 holding the game back?

XI zones are ten times larger and it has open world dungeons.
Why do people still blame ps3 limitations when clearly xiv is not using the full potential of even the ps3.

The trouble with XIV is that the community accepts these cop out excuses from the dev team every time.

If you want progress then demand SE to beef up the servers because they could easily afford it if they wanted to.

Yoshi already said that the PS3 would be supported for the foreseeable future.

He said that the first expansion would support PS3. He followed that by saying that PS3 support will be dropped when it begins to hinder the development process.

I'm in no hurry to see it go, though. I don't play on PS3, so as long as it doesn't effect the content that I receive on PC, I don't see why it would bother me that it's still being supported. I just don't want to see the same major flaw with FFXI get repeated here. When you have to start limiting content because you have to make it run on ancient hardware, it really begins to damage the game overall.

So when they say that they can't implement something due to limitations or restrictions (like housing), is the game really approaching it's limit before we even get to 3.0?

Housing restrictions were a result of server limitations, not PS3 limitations. That will be solved in 2.4 as well.

Doubtful considering the number of players we have versus just how much they're adding (which doesn't really "solve" the limited housing persay). But I'll go with the server limitations thing. Some of the content they've added back in 2.3 is pushing stress onto the PS3 players though, such as the hunts. I feel that's a big limiter with what they can do and can't do with open-world content that encourages mass participation.

So Yoshi says a lot of things.

^^ lol this guy here is the only one who truly understands SE's thought process in this whole thread. :P

Half expecting him to announce on the day of the expansion release that there would be no PS3 support.

Just like FFXI

PS2 is holding that game back

PS3 is holding this game back!
