FINAL FANTASY XI® Seekers of Adoulin

To all of those who say "switch to PC" it's really getting annoying. I started out on PS2 and then got a 2nd account for my PC. So "switching over" isn't really an option unless I delete an account which aint happening. It's funny how all you say how terrible the graphics are. I have zero problems with mine. Crystal clear and looks pretty good. I'm actually very disappointed in SE for this move. They could sell it themselves if they truly wanted to. But to completely shut out a good many players...well lets just say I probably won't becoming back.

I think of it as an amputation. Doctor tells us they are cutting off our legs, we don't like the idea, we are against it even, but they say it must be done, and we already gave them permission to do whatever needed done to save our lives. Life will still go on, and we might even be happy with it in time, but for now it seems terrible and we dread the thought of it. We have had our legs all our life, we have grown used to them, and don't want to lose them, but it has to happen for our own good, and so we must accept it.

You still playing it on the big huge old boxes of a TV because that's the only time PS2 graphics look good.

PS. Bravo on NOT knowing how consoles work. You can't just make, sell and market a game for a console you did NOT make.

What would require you to delete an account?

Do you play both at the same time?

Better question is why delete one at all? Use 1 character when you want to, play the other when they are needed, if you cant dualbox you can still play both characters, or alternate between them when you are bored playing as 1 of the 2.

You should be able to use the “PS2-account” just fine on a PC as well, if that's what you are referring to?

And no, you don't need 'cheats' to use both at the same time on one computer. You can set up multiple windoze environments by using Linux, or VirtualMachine(s), so you don't necessarily need another computer, or use 'h4x' to manipulate the client and violate the User Agreement either.

Actually, From Software self-published their recent title Armored Core V in Japan. Been self-publishing for a while now and they're nowhere near as big or influential as Square. There's really nothing stopping Square from doing the same.

And what do you have against CRT-style televisions? Sure, they make terrible computer monitors (I know, I used to use one as such, made games look awesome but text not so much) but is that any reason to hate them? As for his talk of deleting accounts, he clearly dual-boxes and if he can't play both characters at once then that's an obviously wasted $13+ a month. Even you have to agree that that'd be a waste of money.

Japan is the better country for PS2 full-stop, different rules too.

I do agree with it, but that is SE's fault, with how good Graphics Cards are now, and how low the GPU FFXI takes up is, SE should allow multiple instances of FFXI.

They said they were allowing multiple instances of something, I can only hope this is it. Besides most people have an XBOX 360 now.

I understand the annoyance, but it is what it is.

Self-publishing console games in Japan is a whole other animal compared to most countries, although I have no idea if this is due to differences in law or simply large differences in how the markets operate.

I do know it is a whole other animal. An animal that often reproduces via its own younger sister after selecting the correct text options. Never the older sister, though! It is a very persnickety animal.

CRT TVs rule for Picture Quality, especially the HD ones. The only thing that comes close to it is an LED TV. (You don't need to be in "Optimal view zone" for an LED TV, unlike an LCD.

-The Huge Negatives of a CRT TV is their Bulk and weight. For example my 22" LCD monitor i use weighs in at about 10 pounds (4.5kg) at the most. an equivalent CRT monitor would weigh in at about 50-75 lbs (22.7kg - 34kg) and you'd need 2 people to carry it due to the size of its picture tube.

(I use to work for a CRT manufacturer )
