Question: why theres a blacklist cap..?

[Imoye]

I find it kind of amusing that it's only been about a year since the PS4 was released, and we're already considering it's predecessor a dinosaur. It's still a powerful console, and it runs FFXIV smoothly in its own right. The 'features' that everyone complain we can't have are often only minor anyway, so why has PS3 support become such a complaint?

Because PS3 is weak enough to hold back the game long-term. FFXI was limited by the PS2, and prevented the game from advancing and gaining new players. Long-term FFXIV will suffer because of it. Subs don't matter when the game is being held back. At the moment it's nothing huge, but it will be if support continues. If people like the game, they'll buy it for PC or PS4 anyway. First mistake was releasing it on PS3.

And no, the PS3 is not a powerful console, hasn't been for years.
