Cut it out with the "SE CAN DO NO WRONG" attitude, people... look at the evidence, they shouldn't be releasing FFXIV for PS3
Im sure some people will be happy enough to put up with some framerate drops, even if it isnt ideal, and if it still persists as an issue in beta, im sure SE will try to rectify it. The main reason they will release on PS3 regardless of your misgivings is that they redesigned the engine purely to fulfil their promise of releasing on PS3, and that was a huge element of redeveloping the game to begin with; to re-instill a sense of trust which was previously lost with the "flop" of version 1.0. So framerate issues or no framerate issues, SE will release on ps3 if it kills them since they believe thats the only way they can regain trust and maintain their brand power. If they dont release on ps3, they probably see this as an admission of failure which would have repurcussions on future endeavours.
