The Perfect PS2 Solution!

[Tsukino_Kaji]

It just popped into my head. It's the simplest thing ever.

Just give the PS2 players their own server! THen the rest of us can get the updates we want

+1 would read again.

[RAIST]

sit and spin

lmao

Raist

[jeffanddane]

OMG this would be totally awesome FTW!~!!!!!!!!

[Auriga]

ps2 = own server = hmmm................

[jeffanddane]

The other solution is sending out a code that auto shuts them all of and destroys every ps2 on FFXI foreveah MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!/chokes gags

[Ryland]

Require an update for FFXI that is over 40gig so the ps2 can't use it. Shouldn't take *that* long to download huge file and then we'd be free of ps2 and maybe 360 limitations. Lower the limit to 1

[jeffanddane]

we can only wish ; ; ;

[Auriga]

Ryland - seriously size that sig pic down yo. it eats up a ton of page space!

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Ryland - seriously size that sig pic down yo. it eats up a ton of page space!I have a site feedback post on it. lol And that other dude who's sige goes past the side of the page.

[Rambus]

hmm is there enough ps2 users to have one server?

[Tsukino_Kaji]

hmm is there enough ps2 users to have one server?6% of the populous? No. lol

[jeffanddane]

But really a ps2 server would be nice . . .. . . Like if you log into ps2 bam your account perma ps2 server till you realize what wrong you have done to ffxi D:!

LOL Classic.

PC > PS3 > XBOX360 w/ or w/o Kinect > PSP > PS2
PC wins all the time! ^^b

I had that same idea in my head but the fact that Japan has many PS2 players also should encourage SE to support PS3 backwards computability since you can download FFXI anyway! There's many reasons why some servers should be different to accumulate players to their preference.

For instance: A server for those players who want or like the old style Vana diel and everything is still hard.

I have my FFXI installed on my PS3 already, the same one I bought in 2006. Many reason SE doesn't do the things that they should've but don't is beyond me.

It makes my posts easier to see by being so huge. Also the pic makes people look at my posts more, and all of my posts say LOWER THE ENTRANCE LEVEL FOR ABYSSEA TO 1!!!!!!!!1ONE

Or they know which one to skip over since you just keep repeating the same babble.

That'd be pretty awesome, they'd all be so busy exping outside of abyssea that Guku/Heqet/Amun/Tunga/Varney would be up all the time.

Bah, why would we want you lv. 1 mule to be taking unnecessary space in Aby. You're not going to power level you character with Summon burn party, are you?

I'll tell yah one thing friend, SE has a reason why the prerequisites are so high and there should be more reason why to raise it.

I say, keep it at level 75. The level break quest is the only excuse why it's at that level, so you can go it, get your rare/ex items and merits.

[Ryland]

Lowering the entrance level to 1 is the only chatter that will be allowed in this thread.

[Nepharite]

This is a troll thread anyways, so it can go off topic as much as you guys want I suppose.

Well, if Phantasy Star Universe PS2 PC had shared a server and the Xbox360 had a server of their own then why not? only problems would occur would be the lack of content on their servers, people would complain that they would be behind in updates and content than the 360/PC servers (because they don't have the space for it)

Ultimately causing the servers to shut down.... like the PC/PS2 Servers did in PSU although their reasons was because the PC version was allowing people to dupe stuff and another reason why I cannot remember...

[Starcade]

It just popped into my head. It's the simplest thing ever.

Just give the PS2 players their own server! THen the rest of us can get the updates we want and the PS2 hold outs can sit and spin or when ever it is they do! lol

Everyone's happy. ^^

*sigh*

AGAIN...

The PS2 support is NOT GOING AWAY because the bulk of Japanese players use the PS2 for their FFXI accounts.

There is no question to this, so kwityerbitchin'.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

The PS2 support is NOT GOING AWAY because the bulk of Japanese players use the PS2 for their FFXI accounts.Where's your proof?

I'm sure it had nothing to do with the game in general >_>; Want moar PSO2 info nao >>:O

[Nepharite]

I'd see them dropping support for the ps2 before thinking about making a ps2 only server.

[Ragmar]

Where's your proof?

Prove otherwise. And more importantly prove that there would actually be some benefit to FFXI if they did drop PS2 support. If SE had any intention to actually improve the game the last thing they would allow to hold them back is lolPS2 limitations.

[Insaniac]

You can play ffxi on a P4 with no graphics card and you can buy the entire vanadiel collection for 5 dollars. Why people subject themselves to the PS2 is a mystery. Having played my first 2 years of the game on PS2 and then another year on Xbox I can very confidently say that anyone still playing on a console is a fool. And if you dont own a computer but are willing to pay monthly fees for FFXI and internet your priorities are effed.

[jeffanddane]

Ryland i order you to put your sig picture back up!

[Legomike]

i would love to be on a PS2/3 only server.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

i would love to be on a PS2/3 only server.The PS3 is not limited. Please do not lump it in with PS2.

[Legomike]

its playing the PS2 game so it will be lumped

[Krashport]

The PS3 is not limited. Please do not lump it in with PS2.

LOL Taking down sony eh? To funny.

[jeffanddane]

even though its played on ps3 its still not limited to the ps2 hardrive so yeah . . . . . . PS2 is limited because space compacity . . . ps3 has the space . . . . so lets not bundle them :P

[JagerForrester]

Making the PS2 users move to a PS2 only server then giving everyone else new content sounds like discrimination.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Making the PS2 users move to a PS2 only server then giving everyone else new content sounds like discrimination.So then if you had a bad pitcher and he was left benched because of it, you'd still play him regardless?

[jeffanddane]

i say lets explode all the ps2's!!!!!

[Tsukino_Kaji]

i say lets explode all the ps2's!!!!!Now now Jeff, that kind of extremeism is best left to the crazies. Like greenpeace.

[Joslyn]

Now now Jeff, that kind of extremeism is best left to the crazies. Like greenpeace.

or those wbc asses

[jeffanddane]

lmfao XDDDD

[Zyeriis]

I say we detonate the ps2's instead.
Or we can compromise and explodonate them.

[Gaspee]

Perfect solution?

Buy a PC, and use the PS2 as a coaster. It's a far better use of the antiquated game console.

[jeffanddane]

No its not even worth that gaspee my cup is a nice cup ; ; maybe a paper weight and a nice coaster ?

[Gaspee]

lol, that works, too~

[Gilraen]

Considering that I play FFXI on my PS3 (original 60g for the win!), I would be really miffed if it suddenly exploded. Also, US players aren't the only people playing FFXI, you know. There's still alot of people in Japan still playing on the PS2. Why do you think it's still supported to this day? Sure as hell ain't because of Bob in Kentucky! Too many people like to 'not remember' that FFXI was originally made for the PS2. It was on the PC in the US first because it was easier to release here that way, that's all. Don't want your PC game 'crippled'? Go cry a river, build a bridge and get over it.

[JagerForrester]

Well I'm starting to think dropping PS2 support is never going to happen because a friend of mine believes it would cost way more than what they would make from it.
