I am not at all suggesting they do it this Christmas, heck even 1 year after the release of the PS4 might be too soon... but if this game is planning to go for 10 years... we are going to be very limited on what we will expect to see by way of engine overhauls and updates because of aging technology. Can you imagine still trying to play this game on the PS3 in 2020? By then we might already be on the PS5 (or consoles will have died to be replaced by something else)... Thoughts?
As of this date, FFXI is still officially supported on the PS2. I know, I have a PS2 with FFXI installed and occasionally update it to keep it running, although I never really play it on there any more.

I wouldn't worry about FFXIV's PS3 support going away any time soon.
