Moogles Find Gold; Final Fantasy XIV Finished on PS3

Popular Japanese magazine Famitsu has provided a golden nugget of information this week regarding Final Fantasy XIV. According to the magazine, the PlayStation 3 version of the title has reached gold status. That’s right, the game’s development has hit completion and should be ready for store shelves soon.

 Revealed in the same preview is news that the PlayStation 3 and PC versions are running on the same servers and the only difference between the two were slight texture differences. After all of the news regarding problems found in the PC version, we can only hope that the finished copy on PS3 will release without issues of its own. Square Enix has given early adopters two months of free playtime, and player feedback has been sour thus far. However, big patches are scheduled for this month and December, so the PS3 version has a shot at redeeming the seemingly incomplete game.

I find it hard to believe anyone would buy this especially since there is a subsciption fee. Hopefully they will fix the issues that broke the game on PC and then make it feeless!

I don't believe this.  It's not even finished on PC!

lol, ok.  The PC version isn't even finished yet, it's still in Alpha.

The final / real game only on PS3.

The PC version was just a research labs for bug/issues.

Good..the 2 people that care rejoice!!....now what about Agito and Versus? And XV better be half way through development kthnxbye

Actually, if it really did just go gold and isn't set to release until MARCH, that means whatever they have finished now will be what's on the disc.

That means you will have four months worth of patching to do when you pop in the disc, have fun with your eight hour update on day one.

Lol you may be right. :p

They probably made the PS3 version Bug-Free cause it's where the Final fantasy sales mostly comes from... Although it may not be surprising if a lot from the final fantasy userbase in PS3 got turn off by this mess that was FF14 PC... But then it's not like the PC is a driving force in terms of sales especially for an FF online game, so it can be true that the PC was their guinea pig, so Square-Enix screwed them all over...LOL

It's cute when people act as an authority on something they clearly know nothing about.  FFXI sold on PS2, but barely anything compared to what it sold on the PC.

I don't really know the numbers but from playing FFXI for many years I know that almost nobody played on the PS2.  The few that did only did when someone was using their PC for something else (usually another FFXI account).

It may be true during those days,but Online gaming for consoles wasn't that popular in the PS2 era, it just blown up during this generation. Plus i don't think i am being an authority here, but let's think with the situation in hand... Although one should wander if one would bite on the subscription...
