"PS3 Limitations"

[Raxion]

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.

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

we do forget another point that is not very good, the ps3 use a program language totally different of the other support.
the ps4 are easier to program, i can't imagine the time and energy they will save the day they will drop the ps3 support.

people are there complaining about the fact that ps3 must'nt be dropped, we are into a mmorpg, one of the game type the most demanding on our machine... and only in the last 4 years the technology did amazing advance, if you only look at the video card and ram, it's like day and night.

i think Yoshida already want to drop the support, but like some have said, he will hold until a bit more of ps4 user will be in japan. don't forget that they already offer the free transfert and the game for free if you own already the ps3 i dunno any other company that did make this for any other game.

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.

Is this a joke? Are we still on the "untapped power of the glorious CELL" phase

Yes FFXI had larger areas but they were empty. You can make a zone 100x bigger if there is nothing to render in it.

This game has loading screen even inside a city. Loading screens even inside a raid. That's just ridiculous.

Just like FFXI

PS2 is holding that game back

PS3 is holding this game back!
