FINAL FANTASY XI® Seekers of Adoulin

Hmm... no official answer listed anywhere, though it seems like it will be business as usual.
Say, we did get forced to "Upgrade HDD space or be unable to play" etc.

There are people who play on playstation, i am one of them but i do also have this on Xbox 360 as well. What platform people play on should not matter. Remember this is a cross-platform game after all and supports many languages as well.

So basically, I'm glad that they're adding new content to the game because they needed it. Mind you, they still have to address the existing problems in regards to old or dead content.

I'm also glad that they're starting to think outside of the box. I'm really looking forward to the new expansion.

However, one thing I don't agree with is their decision not to try and attract brand new players. I feel that this is a critical mistake on SE's part.

FinalFantasy.de: There is no version of Final Fantasy XI for the PS3. Are there any plans to develop one? In Europe, there are no HDDs available for the PS2.

A: At the moment, there are no plans to develop a PS3 version. They already have the PS2 game, and they plan to continue supporting the PS2. They don't feel it would be the best use of resources to work on the PS3. Unfortunately, Square Enix is not a hardware manufacturer. They would love to release a HDD, but there is nothing they can do.

Just wanted to mention for those who do not know, that it is actually a violation of the User Agreement to even borrow them discs, so this might not be the best place to suggest such means of acquiring the data. ^^;

Not pointing at, or giving the wag of any fingers to anyone!
Just sayin'~

Not that they enforce the particular rules much, if at all, but yeah, I think it's something good to know.


I do wonder what they will do with the outside of Japan PS2 support, as it would seem like an expansion that indeed warrants physical release, like with Wings of the Goddess for example. Nowadays there are digital options for all those as well, but I don't know if it would be possible for the PS2 in particular...

One thing that would be great if that more than one account could be linked to an xbox account. My brother had a xbox mule he deleted and if PS2 dies in america he doesn't want to spend another $50 for a new xbox account to link it to.

Okay so from that interview there, PS2 will continue for JP/NA (never had EU release) and there wont be a release for PS3 or PSVita.
Kinda funny Square would like to release a HDD for EU PS2 players(if i read that right) yet "They don't feel it would be the best use of resources to work on the PS3".

Of course it wouldn't in their opinion. If ppl had a souped up version that was made for PS3, they might not make that jump to XIV when its planned PS3 version hits.

Just me guessing, but the HDD comment was prolly in regards to how Sony handled the HDD everywhere except Japan.

Greetings,

I’d like to take a moment to clarify which platform Seekers of Adoulin will be available on for those that have been asking. We will continue to support North American FINAL FANTASY XI players on the PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 and PC (Windows) platforms. However, FINAL FANTASY XI: Seekers of Adoulin will only be available on the Xbox 360 and Windows platforms in North America when it is released in 2013.

Just out of curiosity, why will the new expansion not be available on the PS2 for North America? What will be done with customers who only play on the PS2?
