Square-Enix: Trouble Fitting FFXIV On PS3

The Japanese giant explains why the PS3 version is "taking a lot longer than we first thought"
Speaking recently to Final Fantasy producer Hiromichi Tanaka, he extolled to NowGamer the problems in cramming such a massive undertaking onto a machine with the limitations of the PS3.
"The PlayStation 3 has a limited amount of memory compared to the PCs we’re aiming at," he told us "We have to optimise the data so that it will fit on the console and that’s taking a lot longer than we first thought…"
Whether this means the game will see a superior vesrion on PC is as yet unclear, but that seems to be the way his comments point. Which wouldn't be entirely surprising.
