They should scrap the PS3 version.

The first question is regarding exactly this.

GE- Being a long time FFXI player, I have concerns about the hardware limitations the PS3 hardware will have on the PC client. I know with PS2 and FFXI there were memory limitations and things like that- and because one console is burdened by these limitations, the other clients had to adhere to those.

Have there been any steps taken so that the PS3 hardware won’t hold back other clients?

Yoshida- To be honest, the biggest problem we had with XI was yes the memory, but also the hard disc space. But with the PS3, you can add as much as you like, so to be honest I’m not really concerned about that.

Also there was a fundamental difference between XI and XIV was made. With XI it was based on the PS2 and then that was brought over to windows. On the other hand with XIV we’re making the windows version first and then bringing it to PS3 without reducing the quality too much. We’re making sure the balance is good for PS3 players, but the foundation is on the windows version.

Wow... Yoshi's answer sounds an awful lot like what Abriael has been trying to explain to people for several posts. What a koinkydink!

Psht.. See that ps3 over there?
Yea, that one.. looking all smug..
Lets go beat it.. beat it gooodd..

Personally all I see from cross platforms, is the limitations they bring to the pc..

Until Sony makes a way, to create easily upgradeable consoles, they will always be steps behind.
Those steps will always bring limitations to the pc.

I stopped playing on consoles for this very reason.
They have always caused limitations.

Everyone just needs to go out and buy a computer already.. :P
Come on.. do eeeetttt..

Psht.. See that person that can't read over there?

Please, try to educate yourself just a little bit instead of talking about things you don't know. Your whole post has been demolished just in the previous page.

When PC is the lead platform for the development of a game, consoles bring absolutely no limitation to it, as the assets can be *easily* downgraded and compressed to fit literally at the click of a button to start a batch process.

And that is the case for FFXIV, so your "concerns" are moot.

Respond like a 12 year old much?

Your post, the one he quoted and responded to, can be considered just as bad.

No, not quite.

You said his post sounded like it came from a 12 year old. I said your post ALSO sounds like it came from a 12 year old.

Unfortunately, showing you that your post is born from ignorance and irrational platform elitism doesn't involve responding like a "12 year old". It just equates to telling you that you're wrong and explaining why.

Some people evidently take offense at that.

Ugh... You like seeing yourself talk don't you?
Since you really seem set on trying to act like cross platform isn't a problem, let me explain why it GENERALLY is..
Almost always since the dawn of cross platform they have coded the games badly..

Almost always a game that comes out on the ps3 ends up looking worse on pc, because they decided not to do the high end texture work, high animation count anims, or any of a million other cross platform reasons..

It'z lazy but it happens.. All the time.
Acting like it doesn't does not make you somehow more informed..
honestly you are bordering on being sincerely ignorant, which is far more dangerous than just ignorance..

Can they scale things appropriately always? YES, absolutely they can..
Do they? Almost never...
THAT is the problem.. But you knew that already.. Right?

Offended? No. Blandly amused...
