Need help with Graphics Settings

Did you take any drugs by chance or drink too much beer? It's rather sad to rant on a support forum like you currently do. Raging won't make the things you say right.
PS3-limitations is pretty valid 'cause this game uses an engine that was designed for the PS3 and the developers keep that in mind when they add stuff or alter the engine. It is supposed to be released on PS3 after all but I guess you totally didn't know that, right?
I don't see where I say SSD is a must. Stop whining and raging and let people that can actually argue without starting to cry and flame do the talk.
Also I tried that RAMMap utility long ago. It kept like 5% of the ffxiv files in my 8GB memory. They got replaced as soon as I started a different game. What you're trying to say is that RAM is the ultimate solution to every slow loading HDD which is just wrong. The data won't magically find it's way into your RAM. It has to be loaded and this causes stuttering. And even then when it's in your RAM it gets unloaded quickly since it's not used often.

Ain't those pretty noisy? I'm thinking of removing all normal HDDs from my machine to put them in a NAS in a different room xD
