Re: PC Version in September. PS3 Delayed. Pre-order + Pricing Info

on a system they already have experience working with mind you (XIII was made for PS3 and ported to Xbox), is just terrible.

Because SE is actually just one big group of people who don't split off for different projects at all.

I wonder how credible this is.. That's suck BS man.. Once again, PS users will have to start months after PC. I thought everyone would be getting a fresh start together.. I'm really saddened..


Really..

FFXIII and FFXIV are both using the same engine and technology to work, with the PS3 version being in development just as long as the PC one has. There's no way people working on one team on one system wouldn't share their experiences with a different team working on the same system.

didnt ps2 have FFXI months before PC?

Well anyways they should still try to release PS3 version of FFXIV this year.

Re: PC Version in September. PS3 Delayed. Pre-order + Pricing Info

In Japan, yes. In North America, we got the PC version first, then PS2 a few months later.

Don't hold your breath on them getting it out by the end of the year. If they say March, they probably mean it.

March!!! if i am getting PC version i am NOT getting ps3 version. SEx2 (sony ericson too) are greedy bastards.

Re: PC Version in September. PS3 Delayed. Pre-order + Pricing Info

well we have yet to hear the final word and on the official site. Besides PS3 hasn't been tested in beta yet to see how much time they need, so SE probably doesn't even know exactly when it will be ready.

This announcement has only succeeded in turning me away from FFXIV. It's clear from the information released that once again the selling and storing of large numbers of items is going to be a total ball-ache and they fully intend to milk you for something that is an afterthought in other MMOs.

Re: PC Version in September. PS3 Delayed. Pre-order + Pricing Info

What the fuck.


That can't be right, that's absolute bullshit. A 6 month delay between versions!? No way. That's complete BS.


Looks like I'm dropping money on that new Graphics Card a lot sooner than I wanted to - _ -

I thought SE had learned their lesson about staggering releases for the same MMO. Apparently not.

They should just delay the whole thing if they can't get it out for PS3 at the same time. They are only hurting the PS3 release by doing this, not helping it. Doesn't matter if its platform or region, a staggered release is all kinds of stupid and sloppy. They are totally rushing this release just to get out ahead of other MMOs.

Personally, I don't want to have to build a PC around this game just to play it, but at the same time I didn't like tethering my PS2 to an MMO, even though it did give me one layer of extra security the PC version couldn't give me. So I don't know where I'll go right now, but I don't like how they're dividing the audience like this at the start.

Guess I can go get an estimate on what a new PC would cost to build, its really those damn monitor prices that kill it, though. I do need a new PC more than a PS3 right now anyway and I need that PC for other things, but the requirements for FFXIV are just unreal.

The monitor is the one thing I'm not worried about, as I use my TV for that, but I still think this entire thing is lame. I, like BBQ (I know, guys!) think they should just delay the PC version to release everything at the same time rather than have such a large delay between versions.

Well, I could just get a cheap widescreen LCD monitor, I guess. Its not like getting an HD monitor is a huge leap forward or anything, just more expensive. Its actually the PS3 that requires an HDTV, not a PC.

I just prefer to keep games off my PC because of all the resources games consume and the shit I'm given about having a game on PC. Its a family thing, but even so, when they're over at my home they'll still give me shit about it like I was still living under their roof. All I ever had was one PC game and they acted like it was the ruin of my entire life. It was just the fuckin' Sims, too.

Then again, this is why I also like Steam and downloadable games in general, as it keeps extra software off the shelf and creates a nice illusion for them that I'm "growing up" and not going out and buying more games.

This is an example of when having parents who are gamers is a positive thing.
