What Platform Do You use to play?

Started on PS2 then SE came out and said ps2 limitations so didn't want to be part of the problem and decided to move to xbox360 and finally made the call to move to PC for life lol.

I'm on my Laptop for all times, no PC or ps2/3.

One time a GM said I shouldn't play on my laptop because I would not meet the requirements... I'm fine! :D

All 3 same time.

Orginally started on ps2 burned though that got a new ps2 same thing on my third ps2 now. Only problem is ps2's usb drives don't support alot of the newer Keyboards. Orginal ps2 keyboard was the biggest pos i ever used on ps2. Sharkboard was awesome but Saddly it was discontinued shortly after it was out from what i was told by game stores.

Xbox 360. looks a million times better then my ps2 did works better due to controller lay out being simlar just a bit bigger for my hands. Burned though 4 of these as well. Now im on the newer xbox with the 250 gig hd and that kinects bs. If se makes FFXI kinects friendly im quiting cuz wont be standing in front of my tv doin the stuff we do in game.

Pc. I started playing on pc in 2010. I dabbled with a buddy on comp when it was first released but found it lol to sit and play a video game all day. Anyways computer I hadbuy a for the last 10 yrs wasn't able to run FFXI. It worked perfectly fine and im to cheap to buy new one just for the abilty of playing ffxi. 2010 I got a great deal on a new laptop that I couldnt pass up. On a whim I decided to bench test to see if it would run ffxi. Its been about 8 months now and I should of switched to PC sooner.

I first tried joining last November, but after buying the PC version, I found out my credit card was not valid for the Secure Code thing. I did research and found out the 360 version did not have that feature for account registration, so I ordered a new copy of the ultimate collection online. The wait was excruciating (only 4 days, but hey I was looking forward to playing), but was glad I was able to create my account without a hitch.

Now that my account is established, I suppose I could switch to PC. But I love using the 360 controller for movement, so I'm going to wait until I buy a wired 360 controller to use on PC. Not looking forward to downloading all the updates again, though! :p

PS2/3 x2 (more characters for my answer)

I think I see where this thread is going...

PC, using a $5 USB adapter to use a PS2 controller.

I started on 360 but then got the PC version. This is just my opinion but in order to play my job most effectively (WHM) you need that keyboard to have macros ready. Its not difficult to play with a controller but it slows you down a lot and I have almost all my spells and job abilities macro'd (lol who macros proctectra/shellra and teles) and I know where they all are. Same with my BLM.

Could I put a keyboard to my xbox....yes I could but the ability to alt+tab to get on the wiki is just needed to much. IMO

I play on both PC and Xbox360. I find it better to play on my PC when doing Abyssea, campaign battles and Beseiged. I use my 360 for other things outside those areas and also to communicate with other FFXI people.

I started playing pc with windows xp, now i still play on that and 2 laptops with windows 7 :D. wanted to play on ps3, but they were no longer selling the game for ps2 here, and they haven't released it for ps3, which I was really hoping they would.

Started on the Xbox 360, got it for the PC and played that for a week.

Then returned to playing it on the Xbox 360 when I got my Asus VH236H.
I prefer playing on consoles any day of the week.
