When is the PS3 Version going to get cancelled?

[Valkyrie-Amber]

why lock this topic do tell?

Don't lock this thread. Everyone has the rights to state their opinions. I have a dream, a dream that FFXIV will be freed from the PS3 version.

will the devs change the game engine the whole base of ffxiv if they drop ps3 surport?

What's with this myth that dropping PS3 support somehow magically makes the game better for everyone? People assume way too much. You assume there's anything being 'held back' by the console, you assume the game would be different if PS3 support wasn't available, and you assume that everyone already has a PS4 so there's no reason to keep it.

When you make an assumption, you make an ass out of 'u' and mption, weddo!

There are hardware limitations. Why else do you think the UI team had so much problems with implementing a TP bar and had to cut s/o else in order to meet memory requirements?
That being said: even if the DEVs get more freedoms by not having to worry about PS3 any longer, I doubt they will ever fix the sluggish UI or the annoying "everything has to be verified server side" and make FF-XIV as responsive as WoW.

Right I am a troll because I have an opinion. You should try growing up sometime it would benefit you.

Everyone has the rights to state their opinions.

Indeed, but these:

Basically playing a glitchy unfinished game.

When the ps3 version gets cancelled there is no more excuses for extra retainers, more space etc.

You see how many complaints of the same content? PS3 is why

That being said, I wish PS3 was dropped rather tomorrow than the day after, because PS3 is the sole reason we can't have nice things

Ps3 on this game runs at like 5-10 fps.

are not opinions. These are lies.
Special case for the retainers...do you realize that, if you buy extra retainers, you can acces them on PS3 ? So, tell me again how "PS3 is preventing us for more retainers..."

truth

Please lock this thread already. Removing PS3 would not help this game's state, and it certainly wouldn't stunt the games growth as much as people think as the game progresses over the next few years.

I'm gonna say something. I, unfortunately, still play on my PS3 and I have no issues what so ever. Sure the load times are longer and highly populated FATES and hunts are invisible for a bit, but that's minor. The graphics are good, I have ZERO lag issues in 24 man and dungeons. So people trying to say it's broken and buggy don't know what they're talking about. Plus, as far as I've heard, 4.0 won't be on PS3. So everyone complaining that PS3 is holding everyone back you can just wait. Also, before you even ask, yes I want a PS4 but priorities and life have put a hold on that.

No, they would not replace the engine again
But it give them the option to break the 560 ram limit for content (like air battle or maps bigger than the HW maps or large scale battles (300 yalm radius FATE?). everything where a PS3 would DC).

Play on a low/mid range PC from a few years ago and see what happens. It's a myth that PC players don't suffer issues as described. It depends on the power of your hardware.

PS3 has 256MB of System RAM, and 256 MB of Graphics memory, total is 512MB. Some of the 256MB system memory is used by the memory resident portion of the OS reducing the 256 a bit. Also, everything you just said was said about PS3 prior to HW, and yet we got the bigger zones and flight. So...whatever.
