When is the PS3 Version going to get cancelled?

The PS3 can hold The Last of Us. It's easy to support ff xiv that have inferior graphics.

I got a chance to play the PS3 version of FFXIV and it's not that pleasing. Basically playing a glitchy unfinished game. Kind of like Assassins Creed Unity with the whole bug fiasco. The game looks terrible and is just overall a bad game experience.

Actually it plays just fine. I played on it for a year and a half during beta to 3.0. Only difference was looking distance in big overworld maps (not saying uch because the ps4 cant look forever either, shadow graphics, clothing graphics, jiggle physics was gone, as well as clothing (can't remember bout that one actually, clarify), highly populated places causes frame rate drops (especially when morons spam holy in one place) and that's just about it.

Personally I prefer the ps3 for the controls, it felt alot easier compared to the ps4, not to mention the ps4 is a giant doorstopper with not many games (lot of remastered ones though) to play fitting a next gen system. :/. But yeah, nothing wrong with the ps3 version, there's nothing glitchy or unfinished about it. just lower quality to fit the system.

The truth of the matter is that the PS3 doesn't have the graphics engine capabilities of the PS4 and high end gaming PCs, combined with lag in their internet connections and you can see why people are calling for the PS3 version to be retired. To those players I say one thing: GET A GRIP! This game launched on the PS3 and PC, for many of us, it was the first true console based MMORPG that we'd touched and the fact it was flawless (minor bugs at best, but that's to be expected) warrants that SE should continue to use the PS3 for as long as it can.

I would also like to remind those players that the PS3 is still a current system, there are still new games coming out on it and it still currently has more content on it than the PS4 (without remastered games or these new backwards compatibility entries in the PS Store) so until that stops being the case, chill out. Or, you can take it as a challenge to see just what the PS3 is capable of handling in FFXIV, it will surprise you.

Which isn't a real issue since you can tweak the engine to run properly.

And they can improve the graphic options for PC without having any issue with the console version.
DX11, anyone... ?

Glitchy? Unfinished? SE's standards may have been dropping in the recent years, but a buggy/glitchy unfinished game has never been an issue here. This isn't Bethesda mate. Falling off maps in FF games are almost non existent. Not sure what game you were playing.

That's not true this year almost every big time game isn't ps3 anymore. It was last year. PS3 isn't getting supported anymore for the big AAA games.

Until the PS3 population for this game drops significantly in Japan. It will continue to stay. However Yoshi said they are unsure about the next expansion going on PS3. Regardless Playstation said the PS3 servers will stay up through 2017, anything after that is not guaranteed. So I am guessing that the next expansion will not go on PS3 and PS3 support only has 2 years left for FFXIV

I hate how SE was so fast to jump ship from PS Vita but not the PS3 version of FFXIV.

Considering the Vita's own manufacturer gave up on the Vita, are you really surprised most, if not all, third parties gave up on the Vita as well?

Wait... by this do you mean to say that there were devs who didn't jump ship from the PS Vita?

And do we want to know why they did? Here you go: 32GB PlayStation Vita Memory Card
