And no... don't say "Well hah! I'm right because there's so many threads on this." Read the discussions themselves and see where the general opinion has already gone. We've pretty much covered everything about the topic already, anyways.

I never said that they couldn't tone down the GRAPHICS of the PS3 version without limiting PC. What about content that needs to be the same between users, like the size of areas? Also, plenty of game content is server-side and has to be the same between PS3 and PC users if they want to share servers.

There is more to a game than just stuff like textures, which can be scaled down for the ancient hardware of the PS3.

Please educate yourself... if you knew anything about ARR, you would know that 'PS3 limitations' is already a thing.

No content in modern MMOs is server-side. All the actual content resides and streams from the player's hard disk (which is unlimited for both platforms involved). All that the servers handle is positional, combat, database and character data, which obviously has nothing to do with the platform as it's extremely small in size. It's nothing else than numbers.

Before you tell people to "educate themselves" you may want to do it yourself. It would help with making your trollthreads more believable.

And with this, I'm really out. This matter has already been beat to dead horse status (and you very well know as you took part in it, showing your true colors clearly), Yoshida himself confirmed very clearly and with no space for ambiguity that there won't be any limitation due to the PS3 platform, so this thread is moot, and a thinly veiled copy of your previous trollthread.

Yoshida already addressed this.

FFXI was originally created for the PS2 then ported to PC so there were limitations, but with FFXIV it was being developed for PC and then ported to PS3.

The PS3/PC servers are shared if you didn't know, so if content needs to be limited to accommodate the PS3 version, the PC will suffer too.

/sigh. I try; I try really hard not to get sucked into these arguments for the sake of arguments. But as a computer scientist, I genuinely cannot let this go. You clearly do not have the foggiest notion of how the Server, Client relationship works. Either that, or you are being purposely obtuse to get a rise. Because that statement is quite patently wrong.

Any prohibitively expensive computational work can be pawned off to the server at the cost of ~300ms of transmittion time. Furthermore, only thing holding the PS3 back at this point is memory space (a problem intrinsic to all gen 7 consoles [though it seems the gen 8 ones will be finally rectifying that]). Memory is going to restrict any number of possible implementations on the PS3. Which, as we know, is being developed in parallel to the PC version.

Here's a real world example: Have you ever wondered why it is that you can use Facebook on your smartphone and your computer? No? Of course you haven't, because that would be silly. The two clients work in completely different ways, servering the same Data (MVC I'm looking at you) through clients optimized for their platform.

Is there something I'm missing about this Claus dude? I'm guessing his threads are usually worse than this, huh?
