Final Fantasy XIV discontinues 90-day subscription option for PS3 players on March 18

If you’re playing Final Fantasy XIV on a PlayStation 3, your days are numbered. Support for the platform is being discontinued with the launch of Stormblood, something that the official site is reminding remaining console players about on a regular basis. This is why the option to pay for a 90-day subscription for PS3 users is being removed on the weekend of March 18th; you won’t have more than 90 days to play, so it’s unfair to have you pay for that full subscription.

Of course, if you are on PS3 and want to keep playing, the game is still running on PC and PS4, and you can take advantage of the game’s upgrade option to move your account to the PS4 at no additional cost. (If you don’t already own a PS4, it’s still a bit pricey.) It’s just the end of support for the old hardware already struggling on occasion, but it’s being done with an eye toward transparency for players on every platform.
