FF14 Edition PS3?

[ArnoMorley]

Things happen Jpn only because people actually buy it. I've seen unemployed men spend the money on games/systems. It's a problem because they mooch off their family but like I said in Jpn games actually sell.

Same thing happens in the states really I have friends try to mooch games off of me all the time lol, the difference here is jrpg's aren't really considered "cool" in the west. That modern warfare 2 Xbox sold a crazy amount here; it's just a matter of what a culture is in to. As a whole the gaming market is bigger in the US than in Japan they just don’t want what SE is selling.

Also Wada is the boss basically, even Tanaka himself said XIV was unfinished and not ready for release mere weeks before it ended up getting a September release, those of us in the business world knows what happened all too well, especially if you're on a long running project and you're not allowed any more time.

Thank you! I'm glad somebody else finally said it. I hear people outside of these forums talking about how they miss squaresoft all the time. It's quite simple why SE sucks compared to squaresoft, Wada wasn't there until about 2000. If people pay attention there was an immediate loss in quality when he took over, I liked X but even it was significantly less than FF9 offered and it was because he forced it's release too. They stopped being a company all about providing top quality rpgs to being all about making a huge profit.


I don't think we'll get a console and here's why, I don't think it's up to SE if they produce one, it's up to Sony and I don't think they'll want to associate themselves with XIV. XIII was a bad game yes, but they were able to buy enough people out in the media to make it look much better than it was, they weren't relying on a subscription either so as far as sales go it was successful for them.

XIV imo was better than 13 even at launch but this time they couldn't buy the media out, I mean do you really think they can offer reviewers more money than blizzard? With all of the bad press and lost subscriptions XIV becomes what XIII wasn't and that's a financial failure.

Yes, SE do intend to release ffxiv multi-platform, specifically on ps3. That isn't in question. This thread is about whether or not we can expect to see Sony make limited edition ps3's for ffxiv, the way they did for ffxiii.

Why wouldn't they it looks like all it takes is stenciling on a picture in one color. What is the cost of that really? 10 cents per unit and can't they just open a few boxes in a warehouse and do that. Then they can then sell PS3's to people who already have one, and people only buying one for FFXIV which I'm sure there is a quite few (probably more than bought one JUST for FFXIII).
