I wonder

[Kogasan]

Is Square-enix still planning on cutting ps3 off from being able to play ffxiv come 4.0. If so how do players that still play on the ps3 feel about it now?

I assume you mean XIV.

Anyone who has played on PS3 and tried PS4 already know that its an amazing difference in play quality to the point that they would desperately want a PS4 to play XIV.

So I think, given that they have a year (?) to save up before 4.0, they should be happy to upgrade.

I don't remember where i saw it, but before Heavensward they said that support for the PS3 will end at 4.0

When asked about it in an interview 1-2 mos ago Yoshi P said "no comment".

I'm actually somewhat still upset about them not dropping Play Station 3 support in 3.0 like they were originally going to.

I'd imagine most PS3 players would generally understand, given the lifespan of the console, that it's an inevitability. I would think SE is going to accommodate them a little at some point. They could always do what XI did when the time comes and give those console players access to the PC version (or PS4 version, in XIV's case).

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Is PS3 really holding it back? It's not like cutting PS3 out will all of a sudden give the game better graphics and whatnot. That would be ALOT of work I don't think they are willing to do. The most we would see is more little stuff... like hair.

Cutting out weaker consoles opens up more detailed future content. See GTA online when they dropped old gen consoles, content detail and size increased dramatically.

It would probably cost a little less on SE's end. Whether or not it would change much depends on what the bar for "playable low-grade PC" is to them after PS3 is dropped.
