They should scrap the PS3 version.

I agree that the PS3 version isn't that great as the PC version, either way before judging a product before its released fully or even in beta stage, and seeing your comments I highly suggest you take some programming classes so you can see for your self first hand what optimization can do, because 25% optimization, heck 5% can make or break a program.

And lets say by some miracle that the PS3 version comes out full retail like we have just seen it, im sure ppl will still buy it. I mean how old is FFXI? 10 years, and we all know that FFXI on PC or xbox owns the PS2 version, but why do you think with the curent expansion they didn't release it on the PS2 except in japan? Over half of the japanese subs for FFXI are ppl that are still on the PS2 because its a much cheaper alternative than buying a computer. Even though everyone always bashes on "PS2 limitations" lots of ppl still play it on the PS2.

That actually accounts for a lot. I'd be fairly certain it'd run a lot smoother on a ps3 than any pc you could buy for £159.99
