It was discussed before that the PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIV is at a stand-still because of RAM limitations. That's been talked about before on the forums from an interview on the FFXIV thread.
The only way that Square-Enix would fix this if they could allocate this RAM issue by making available GB space on the PS3's hard drive to use as RAM. You can already do this on the PC with virtual RAM.

Correct me if i'm wrong but the PS3 version of XIV is still under development. It's just not being released due to the game not being up to standards. They had stated that they didn't want to release it on PS3 in the games current condition. The PS3 copy is the only way they can rejuvenate the game. So they can't ship a broken game.

@Naraku: cant they just use a hard drive install to reduce ram needed to run the game. thats what i thought they did with rage (at leats i think it was rage) for the ps3 and xbox 360.
@Wagram: your response is more what i was looking for. do you know of any changes they made to fix this "broken" game?

Oh, the PS3 version is still in development, but they are trying hard to figure out RAM usage as the PS3 has very little compared to a PC, including that Square-Enix is still trying to 'fix' the game.
Spurgeonryan, the game installs on the hard drive (the PC version does), so I don't think the game will require the disc to play it. You would have to install it first, just like how FFXI had to be installed on the PS2. Once the game is installed, it will play without a disc and all updates will be installed onto the hard drive.
Right now the new update (for me) is going to take 12 hours or so because of all the people trying to download it. Plus it's quite huge.
