They should scrap the PS3 version.

well... I made this thread because the PS3 can't handle FFXIV graphics, and it's even more demanding being an MMO. even if they bring in extra help to optimize the game, the PS3 just isn't strong enough.

the latest PS3 footage is proof. that's not a "poorly optimized" game. that's an UNPLAYABLE game. Look how badly it's chugging in camp areas... imagine fighting a boss with a big party of players. You would be playing at 1 FPS.

It's been mentioned that a console port is important to the fans, especially Japanese fans where PC gaming isn't as popular...which is why in the OP I suggested they work on a PS4 version, which could definitely handle the game based on its specs

My question to you then. What happens if you're flat out wrong and the PS3 version runs perfectly fine?

It's not possible, but you offered a hypothetical situation. if FFXIV were to run fine on PS3, that would be great. but it won't.

And you know how?

He doesnt know, thats why this thread is laughable. Theyve been so nazi and dedicated to giving us a playable game, why the blue hell would they give us an unplayable version on console with the games future on the line. Really, explain it to me.
