At the start of last month we brought you the news that the PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIV had been pushed back until 2011 due to “technical problems.” The game’s producer – Hiromichi Tanaka – has now gone in to more detail about what this actually is;
“The main reason was the memory. On the PC, they have enormous memory. For PS3, there’s a restriction. They are adjusting the memory size and customising it; it took longer than we were expecting, but we’re really working hard to bring it out as soon as possible.”
By memory, we assume he means RAM – of which the PS3 has 256MBs dedicated. During my trip to Gamescom I managed to see Final Fantasy XIV in action on the PC – and it’s looking really good. Let’s hope the PS3 version will arrive as polished.

I was in the PC beta for FF14 and it is looking SWEEEEEEEEEEEET. Then my PC died and my replacement only has a dual core and struggles like hell so I un installed. It will be worth the wait. My biggest worry will be the monthly fee. Still no word on that.
