This coming from an avid PS2 user for FFXI.

FFXI is the ONLY thing I play on a PS2 and it's only because I can because it's still supported. Other then that, the PS2 is dead, and as stated before, should be used as a paperweight. I just like it cuz I can play it still.

Would I lose sleep or be upset if they discontinued supporting PS2 for FFXI? Hell no! As stated before as well, FFXI expansion has been limited due to the PS2. If they stopped supporting it, then that would get rid of the limitation! (I think that's the reason why we don't have much much much more inventory in-game, if i'm wrong correct me).

I'm with the people that say upgrade! Spend 200 on Ebay for a laptop that will easily play FFXI. /problemsolved.

And people like you need to stop crying about something that most likely won't happen for awhile.

And? Its caused more good then harm and bottom line is SE isn't about to discontinue the ps2 support because others won't FF11 to be less accessible just so that they get more content. Hello! Why' do u think 14 was created? Because I'm sure SE knew it had limits and wasn't going to alter FF11 but cutting a system. FF14 is Sea main focus not a 9 year old mmo that people are leaving anyway.

Meh, I tried. You just gotta find it available closer to home I guess, since I'd imagine if you could snag a $5 adapter it'd beat the headache of configuring one of those weird PC-specific ones.

So throw all the resources into saving the ship that's sinking and on fire rather than scrubbing the barnacles off the one that's been sailing strong for years making boatloads of money?

That's your opinion and I except it, Also SE "might" lose support but sad to say.. only to member like you, Reason why your picking SONY over SQUARE-ENIX, (PlayStation 2 over Final Fantasy XI). ES can only help "Those" PS2 Players that are coming off like you in file form. I'm pretty sure "Their" (SQUARE-ENIX) not coming out w/ a new Chipset, DVD, RAM for PS2's maybe http://us.playstation.com/support/?s=ps2#ps2 can help. I'm pretty sure Sony moved on when they came out w/ PS3 I been hearing talk about PS4.

No Neofire Us you as well every member of the FFXI family to get more content. ^^

Also if making money ATM is tough and can't afford to upgrade, I'm sorry but paying 12.95+ a month is that helping money problems in away?

It's my opinion but I think 14 was a remake of 11 but only problem they made the same mistake twice its on PS3 as well as PC.

Also I think I speak for a lot of members not "All" it kinda feels like starting over. :confused:
