So What IS still in Development?

4.0 does not support ps3 so the whole ps3. Excuse is out the window

Unless I have missed it some where there been no mention of 4.0 not coming to PS3. They said they couldn't guarantee that 4.0 will come to PS3 (which awhile ago) but that doesn't mean they made that decision yet.

4.0 very well can still support ps3. Latest interview Yoshi had he said it was not a sure thing as of now.

I mean like...if PS3 is really holding the game back, then we need to let it go.
Seriously, the PS4 is like what? $300-$400? Save up now and by the time 4.0 rolls you should be able to afford it.
Hell I'd wait to even buy the Neo since it will drop in price by then.
But yeah, it's not 100% set in stone right now.

Yoshida stated they will decide this based on the numbers of users playing on PS3.

Hey man, I completely agree 100% with that, but sadly I'm not a developer XD

As others have said, it's not been officially stated that 4.0 won't come out for the PS3, but even if they don't release the expansion for PS3, that doesn't mean 2.0 and 3.0 would stop working on a PS3. Likely they would keep going still (look at FFXI and how long the PS2 was supported!) which means no changes to the core system of things.

They're not just going to drop a platform as long as a reasonable number of people are still using it, and paying a monthly subscription.

It's a damn shame SE wont. If they ever make a new FF MMO I pray they learn from past mistakes and leave it to PC only.

Which won't happen because SE is a Japanese game company and traditionally console titles sell better there than PC titles (Windows-based PCs are generally regarded as 'just a tool' there). So SE games will always be console-centric, that's just being realistic.

Then split the player base, at the very least. More work, sure, but it's old tech and it's not like SE is strapped for bank. No obsolete consoles holding PC back.
