PS3 support is done

[MilesSaintboroguh]

While not having instanced zones/areas?

What do you mean? I thought instanced content wasn't going to stop plus, as nice as those screens are, they look like they came from someone's phone camera, which does the preview injustice.

As a ps3 player it's a bit sad to see people really happy that other people might no longer be able to play. But i do understand that there were restriction caused by keeping the support so i won't say i don't understand partially, just remember that this might hurt more people then help . Luckily got a ps4 for my birthday so hope I'll be able to switch soon especially if we're getting a free upgrade.

To be fair people in the tread have already asked for the PS4 support to be removed. Some people will only be happy if this game can only be played on custom made gaming rigs despite the fact that hardly anyone would actually be able to play.

As a former PS3 player, I do feel for those who'll inevitably get left behind. But I would be extremely surprised in Yoshida and the rest of the dev team didn't take a lot of their information into consideration before making this decision. What with the dropping PS4 prices, the difficulty of catering to PC, PS4, and PS3 players combined, and the (likely) dwindling PS3 player population, they probably felt that now was the best time to drop support. After all, if they didn't drop support with 4.0, then we'd be waiting another two years for this to happen with 5.0. The PS3 population would continue to shift to PS4 or PC, and the devs would continue spending time creating content work-arounds for the lower specs of the PS3 instead of working on improving the overall game quality.

Meaning the actual world, not dungeons is seamless. Like WoW was back in 2004 for god's sake.

You shouldn't have loading screens between areas, and a city shouldn't be made of 3-4 different load zones as well.

Well yoshi already said back at 3.0 release that they weren't sure if they were going to continue ps3 support for 4.0 So not like huge bombshell was dropped, the writing was already on the wall they just made it official.

Oh, in that case I suppose that would be cool if it does become a thing.

With PS3 Finally Dropped I hope now that we can drop the Egis and can now have bigger summons but im guessing thats a huge leap that probably wont happen lol

They need to clarify if the ps3 support drop will be only for 4.0 content or for the whole game, like, keeping 2.0 and 3.0 active for PS3 players.

They said that they're going to force upgrade PS3 to a free PS4 version, so ALL PS3 support is going away

Would be good if they reworked the areas like WoW did with the old zones into one seamless area, and PS3 was taken off the shelves completely.
