Consoles are holding this game back (graphically)

i agree with everything with most of this, but not the inventory space. i recall being told inventory was a server thing, being that all out stuff is saved on their server. being that its a server thing i don't see the PS3 holding it back

The inventory - the live intventory on the character gets synced to server every 15s or so. That's a lot of traffic. But problem is that people don't differentiate between live inventory and retainer inventory - they are two separate things and handled differently.

Graphics arent everything.

I rather have a 2D suikoden game like suikoden 2 and not the 3D HD suikoden game.

it doesn't change the gameplay, cause I sure in the hell didn't think of graphics being better back then, I was playing for fun.

Gameplay is indeed first and foremost, but I'd still like my game to look the best it can. It's my issue with current gen hardware holding stuff back on PC, across the board (not just this game).

I do think enough time has passed at this point though, for people to make the leap to either a PS4 or a PC. If we get another last gen expansion I'll be a bit disappointed.

PS3 can't handle large scale fights/fates (not the ones we have now I mean really large ones), larger cities more npcs, larger maps, higher resolution of textures etc. It does affect the PC. So there is a relation between gameplay and graphics. Graphics is not only about beauty. When the PS3 support finally drops for good both PS4 and ofc PC will be free for improvements. Maybe then we can get higher res textures or larger battles/dungeons and more detailed maps.

Yeah, you could set your watch to them, yet Square never did drop PS2 support. Oh, sure, they stopped selling PS2 expansions... in the US. That's all they did.

This. There's only so much they can do with UI without giving unfair advantages to PS4/PC players over PS3 players when it comes to playability. Other than that, maybe allow for larger environmental loads (or raid instances even).

Just commenting because I spent 5 minutes trying to get the flea on my screen... and it's your signature.
