They should scrap the PS3 version.

I have no doubt that they will be able to get FFXIV to run great on PS3. My concern is that if they release the game for PS3, that they will then bind the game like FFXI.

For years FFXI fans have been asking SE to make FFXI look better. They responded that they are not able to because of the limitations of the PS2.

Here we are now, 8 months before the release of PS4; and SE still chooses to back itself in a corner again.

Yes the game will run fine on PS3, but in 5 years when the FFXIV fans ask SE for an upgrade. Be prepared for a "sorry we are unable to upgrade due to the limitations of the PS3" response.

This is where SE fails. They always seem to be 2 steps behind.

This has been covered you know. Multiple times in this thread alone. XI's original system is the PS2, so all the ports after that were based on that. XIV is PC First, PS3 second. So the PC version is made first, with all it's HD goodness, then downported for the PS3.
