Spoken by a true PC fan...I feel your pain, but its not the truth actually...PC users are and will be on constant "catch up" to rival the PS3 platform for years to come...we in the early phases of a PS3 Game pre-released to PC

I read the article as well, but since there is many FFXIV news I do not remember where, I suggest Quick-Google shall do it if you do not believe the words of others. Now this is how I see it in terms of Power, Majority of the world's computer > PS3 > High-end desktops > Servers/companies computers.

So you are saying people trying to catch up with PS3 is non-sense when the products for p.c. is out there. Why would a LQ graphic running p.c. be better than a PS3? Well because PS3 is not a p.c. simple as that, it can not do everything a p.c. can and never will.

P.S. 5 years is a long time to justify your reason. Why enjoy it in 5 years when you can enjoy now (If you have the money and passion to spend it)

@Arek_Fairbairn G19 for you keyboard!

It is obviously a Console game and will be for years to come

Like Final Fantasy XI, the game specs will be extremely high for the time, but in about 5 years, an average machine can run it on max settings with little to no issues.

so, the end result is basically fight for more power now and hope you can keep up or wait for PS3 version which will be more than equal, if not something you need to add more to keep up...we are talking the Cell ...most powerful single processor made to date and its a x6 Core ahead of its time

no there is more that i have read where tanaka directly said there will have to be graphic reductions to play on the ps3 version because the game is being designed to run on windows first which is why it is being released first, but that the graphic reductions would be mildly noticable. the game is beng made to run with a console gamepad, but computer graphics because the gamepad is more responsive for players, but the pc's have a more powerful graphic systems. he directly said that the game would be made to run as a port off the pc platform not as its own for the ps3. you are fighting over no reason because even though the ps3 is not as powerful as a high end computer does not make it bad at all. the game will just not be quite as good of graphics as the pc is.

it is now after 2am in the morning so i am headed to bed, but will try to find the other interviews later. if you really want to check at the limitations the ps3 has you are welcome to look them up because they are not too hard to find.

@Arek_Fairbairn G19 for you keyboard!

o.O thanks a lot for the suggestion ^^; with something like that in mind perhaps it'll be the first on my shopping list :P That's pretty freakin' awesome

the g19 is nice, but i have to say i absolutely love my zboard. it is an older board and have to get it online because of its age, but i love it for fps games because of the interchangable keyboard with the big wasd buttons for movement. each person has their own opinions, but i have owned a few of these and will own them until they finally stop selling them.

@Mhati The post dark posted was not the one I had in mind, there is a much clearer article that they directly say they need to reduce FFXIV for the PS3.

I am only going to say this once, please keep in mind that this thread is about sharing Rigs and the Settings, and discussions around it. Mhati, Dark and I are going way off-topic and if this is not stopping I will unsubscribe.

[darkstarpoet1]

agreed let's please let this drop as this was about our computers and what we have to assist others and show off our stuff. this is hijacking anothers thread and is improper so i will not comment again myself. my apologies to the op.

A PS3 is a Full Linux platform running on the most advanced x6 specialized core in the market...no one comes close even I7 or AMD 1070T for special internal ops...PS3 is a fully functional "computer" if you initialize it that way, once you "lock" it to Sony OS, well...that is all you get.

Many Universities use banks of Linux PS3 for power since they are better than anything available...new PS3 locked out from using Linux...lawsuits in process...older FATboy is used in many installations in many Universities because it works

no hijack intended, just responding, sorry

All I'm really trying to say is, its FFXI all over again...PS3 is the designed platform...always will be that way...just like FFXI people bitch about PS2 "limitations" eventually FFXVI people will bitch about PS3 "limitations"... its ineviatable
