No PS3 support? Does the mean fewer Loading Screens?

I don't think they could ever go back to seamless zones. It would be hard to program in now and I'm sure players would be angry at the downtime trying to put them back in. Square made a deal with Sony and they are stuck with it.

i think the major issue with going back to the older style it is not due to console is the fact alot of people didnt like it, it felt empty at points, now they have designed the whole game around the way it is now it could have the domino effect, ok so we fix it back to normal, but this part here was tied into the new style, so they fix that then the part they just fixed is tied into to something else and they have to fix that, it could be a long drawn out process. and runs the risk of people going hey i dont like going back to that way and leaving the game.

A deal with Sony? What are you talking about?

Dropping PS3 resulted in the devs being able to ;
-make the new city, Kugane, into one seemless zone full of NPCs
-continue with making the large, HW style maps but make them more lively, detailed, and vertical
-add more detail to dungeons, i.e. many active NPCs in the backgroud of the final MSQ dungeon
-add extra mechanics to dungeons and bosses
-add job specific UI elements

You know, seeing that Ixion topic earlier with the instance being congested because too many ppl camping ixion, that would be a terrible idea in the long run. Cause you'd have ppl that wouldn't be able to get int othe area when leaving town/teleporting in the area that need to do questing or w/e. After that they would need to upgrade the servers to accomodate these changes to allow MORE people per instances, would just be a hassle.

I want these areas to come back sooooooooo badly! We should be able to visit these last parts of Eorzea that we can frustratingly see but can't go to!!!
