RIP PS3 support for FFXIV

[Nghthawk]

Besides mentioning that the minimum requirements for PCs was going up did they say exactly what it is or just in general that they are going up?

No specifics given but if you're nowhere near the minimum specs then I wouldn't worry. The people that struggle to run the game at 30fps on the lowest setting are the ones that should be worried.

Thanks, I'm over the current recommended specs so should be good. Will wait and see when they release it and worse case I can pick up a pair of GPU instead of running off one before the expansion hits.

Running the game on a laptop might not be possible anymore.

Lmao what are you talking about? My laptop has a i7 that's clocked around 2.65, a gtx 970, and win 10. SE has their recommended specs as a Intel 2 Duo Core at 3.0, gtx 650, and win 10.

My laptop blows the current recommended out of the water and will in all likelihood knock the recommended new settings out of the water as well.

They have laptops out on the market that have 3.0 ghz cpus and a few of the top amd and gtx cards inside them. This game will never become graphically demanding to the point laptops can't handle it, because if that happens a good handful of mid tier desktops as well as the ps4 would drop off the face of Eorzea.

I so dreaded that this day would come. Me still playing on PS3. My hope is that I can continue playing even without the expansion and hope I can get a PS4 soon.

You have until 4.0 (the expansion) drops. The second that patch is live, PS3 is dropped.

Dual core CPUs are no logner supported and game is now tailored towards 64 bit OS. Expect to need at least 4 GB of RAM and a post 2008 processor

is angry*

>_> this game charackters looks FUGLY flat, thin, unattrative on PS4!
Thats why Im still playing on my PS-THREE!

If they really drop the support totaly, they better add a screensize option like PC and PS3 has for PS4 too or make our charackters look more naturaly in general!
Not ugly flat beings that dont even has a butt! >_>

Or else me (and countless other people) looking for an other MMO

They counted and obviously the number of potential dropouts is not high enough for them to see a risk. Tough luck there, PS3 has been supported way past it's lifetime. If you are so unhappy with the PS4, get a PC, the PC version and experience the world of actual possibilities.

As for the specs for PC: good, hopefully that means some high-res graphics. I use a laptop but since it currently runs the game on highest settings without any issues, I doubt I have to worry. Might just upgrade my RAM a bit (currently 8 GB) since it can go to 32 GB...
