They should scrap the PS3 version.

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...

Yes, that does happen. Usually when the game is developed for the Console first, then ported to the PC. If it's done PC first, on the other hand....

This also happens, you just don't see it as often because many Game Devs these days do console first and PC is an afterthought. However, given that Yoshi has been honest about pretty much everything so far, I believe him when he says they will build for PC first, then scale down for Console.

"generally" doesn't necessaerily apply to this game. And in this case it doesn't.

Most of the times when a game is developed as a multiplatform that includes both consoles and PC, one of the consoles is the lead platform.

Assets and engine are created to fit the lowest common denominator, and very little can be done to upgrade them for the pc version, and quite often nothing is done to keep costs down.

This is not the case for FFXIV, as PC *is the lead platform* meaning that assets and engine are created directly for the PC and then downgraded ONLY for the console version, leaving the PC version 100% intact and untouched.

Why not everyone does that? Because it costs more and requires more resources to create better, high quality assets that fully utilize the power of the PC platform.

I get it ! That's why Skyrim looks awful on PC...oh wait, it doesn't...

Regardless of what you think. They 'promised' to release it for Ps3 ever since 1.0. They can't scrap... or else someone will sue. And you bet your ass someone will definately sue if they do scrap the Ps3.

Also they want to reach the more domestic audience. Even though the PC is considered future proof, many people don't have the time, knowledge and/or money to upgrade anyways. And yes, you can say "well they shouldn't play MMOs then" but (SE) doesn't share that opinion either...

no one can sue them for stopping a project. they can just say it impossible to make work.

but bottom line is they wont stop the release already put to much effort into it. it will still be the ugly one. in 720p

Bunch of "I know it all" kids. So you kids think if your mom get all beat up in the face, she'll stay forever ugly? She'll never heal huh? Can't restructure her face eh? If the media say this and that, you kids would be the first one up believing like "oh shiet, ice creams are falling from the sky!" Please just sit down and look cute, and let the grown up take care of the business.

And you know what make things worst? If you kids are actually adults. Now feel more pathetic.
