If they would officially ask players about it have a guaranteed graphics overhaul(at least FF13 quality) so PS3/360 could still support it THEN people would be all for it. I know I'd switch. I almost never play my PC version because I'd rather use the high end thing for better modern games.

Do you think the PS2 version looks better than the PC version? May I ask, have you tried playing with registry settings? You can make the game look rather fantastic with some tweaks that don't involve any third party tools or whatever. Just setting your background resolutions to be double of the game resolution alone makes the game look 10x better.

ho ok, your a ps2 player. Sorry :/
But you know, the ps2 limitation, stop the world of vanadiel for sure ....
you never never try to play on PC ?

ps : sorry for my bad english, i'm french ^^"

This and all the others.

Elmer's Poll does show results, but it doesn't cover the entire player base, only those who took said poll. Like the article says, many players, especially in the non-Japanese regions, would like to see support for the PS2 version discontinued and the abundance of threads from all regions support this view. For a problem that, everyone must admit, the XI Development Team brought to everyone's attention - I'm pretty sure they full well know of this issue. And in terms of game development not only is it creating difficulties for them but it's also holding back on features that the team may want to develop but cannot, however it's likely that the decision to discontinue PS2 support is a big one that the development team may not be able to make themselves. They have the numbers of subscribers using PS2, we can start polls and produce articles but we don't have the official numbers.

If anything, I'm sure the development team would like to solve this problem too. All these threads that are just asking for the PS2 version to be discontinued without any suggestions (not that we as players can give many as this is on the technical development level) are just giving them less time to read new ideas that they don't already know about.

So, no new addon on the way ... no new zone ... no new job ... and no auto translate element (lol) ...

Long time ago, there was a game called Ultima Online (well some shard prolly still exsist :P ).
Origin Soft. made a 2.0 version with a totally new look - "flying camera" 2D to 3D !! zomg -
The huge restyle and bad " luck " got Richard Garriot ,Origin founder, kicked and the house dead body, sold.
But SquareEnix its a big name and the videogame market its by far bigger than the 90'... cannot happen again!! :P

I think it would be great for the game to get a graphics overhaul. If they insist on keeping PS2, just do it for the PC, Xbox, and PS3 players.

Honestly, the only person flaming in this thread is you.

And BG is dying?

I'm not sure if the cost of converting Ps2 to Ps3 would do a whole lot in the end. FF11 is still a bad game starting out. They need a way to make it a bit more newb friendly with all these adjustments to old areas.

Maybe then it would be worth it if SE thought so.

Sorry but I just don't feel pity for ps2 players at this point. If you can't get a PC that runs FFXI then you probably can't afford the subscription either. Stop holding back the entire rest of the community because you insist on playing on an 11 year old system. I want better than 30 FPS, I want a modern UI, I want to not just see more reskins of the same zones if the 250 area limit is true. You've had 8 years to get a PC or 360 and the cost of a PC that can run this game is probably somewhere in the 150$ range at this point.
