It's extremely frustrating as both PS3/PC player. It's nice to have the PS3 version on my big screen, but realistically, its just stupid if you actually want to do fate's. However, for dungeons and crafting its fine. =p

I play on my 40 inch Bravia so it's not bad lol.

I have a 40 inch as well, but the ps3 version is  just a bag of total suck. resolution sucks, screen feels cluttered (yes you can change the hud, but it feels so tight when you enable the majority of the hud options), chars limited on screen, slight input lag when gameplay gets heavy (fates)...it's a shame compared to the ultra-superior PC version, where, to be frank, shit just works.

It's more than clear that the game is meant for PC and kb/mouse input. It's so inferior, that even when you change the options on ps3 to use L1/R1 to enable macros rather than the default L2/R2, the GUI remains the same for the default! (remains showing L2/R2 graphic after changing the input option)

I'm glad that I have the option to play the game on multiple consoles (as the FFXI multiple console option made it very accessible), but the PS3 version is just completely inept. It works, but its just nowhere near as good. Thankfully my 560 Ti can run the game full 1080P, 55~60FPS, otherwise, if if my only option was to play the game on PS3, I would never pay for a subscription.
