For those of us who still support the PS2 version of FFXI

I understand PS2 owners have been loyal, and have their arguments, however its a 11 year old system, since then Sony has came out with a PS3. Not only came out with a PS3, but came out with it almost 5 years ago, I'm respectfully saying its time to upgrade or move on.

Point taken, I can't argue w/ having comfort some of us can't get enough of that. But you seem like a PS2 player that would upgrade/move over to your PS3, "IF" SE did make that hard decision about dropping the PS2.

Edit: Good to see the word "Love" used on the Game and not the console, It is all about the game to most members!^^

To make more money....for the remake of FF14.
Make new content for FFXI without PS2 support as incentive to make the PS2 players move.

So what if the PS2 players whine?
If they want new content on FFXI, they will need to play another version.

It's called incentive.
Players lose some to gain MORE!!
Money made for buying the XBox/PC version of FFXI is money MADE for Square-Enix. Creating a new expansion is MORE MONEY!

You're making this as ridiculous as a customer whining that they want HD but don't want to buy an HDTV. And this argument is on such a smaller scale! I think your rebutting me just to rebuttal me.

i will say it again if the ps2 is that far keeping things behind why does SE not add ps3 content for the updated system then drop ps2 content after since we cants find a large supply of hd slotted ps2 in the US reasonable priced. Until SE does this they can blame the ps2 all they want but not adding ps3 data its SE holding us up not the ps2 in my opinion

I was on Amazon the other day getting parts for my ps2. I saw about 18 copies of ffxi, some used, some new with harddrives. The prices were't that much.

I think my guess that they wanted to make XIV the new XI is spot on. If they want to make both games available for PS3, I'd be for it. But unless Sony and SE are having some feud and don't want to make a deal, I have no idea why they haven't yet.

I would believe they would have to get the Ok w/ SONY it could have something to do w/ licensing, one would think SQUARE-ENIX would/have been trying for this seeing how good of a game it is.

Ur the 1 crying not I.

I have a ps2 and ps3, I would love for them to make ffxi for the ps3 so i can finally put my ps2 in my closest along with my nintendo, super nintendo, sega, ect..
