Now you're getting a hang of it. I'm only thinking of my peers who would be better off trying to fix their lives instead of playing FFXI.

Then I'll be sad because you killed FFXI for all of us.

Think on that.

Except the PS2 population isn't even as big as you think it is. Look at how few PS2 supporters there are here compared to PC users.

I really hope they put all the PS2 users on a Separate server and just cut support. That way they don't have to Axe them. They can just let them realize the mistake on their own.

Actually i had a lot of fun with google translator this morning and i checked the japanese forums on this site.

There doesn t seem to be a topic about the survey but there is one about the ps2/ps3 and guess what? almost all of them play on ps2.

Don t get me wrong they are also asking for a port of the game for the ps3, but atm s-e said they wouldn t port it

So i don t know where everybody got their numbers( like that guy who said 6ppl played on the ps2) but it doesn t look like the ps2 version is going anywhere.

I hope this will shut up condescending idiots like eric who assume not buying a pc equal being poor.

Also I think the PS2 user should respect, try to hear their views on what once ~ V and polling. Increase even if the content is also renewed ground, but high spec PC and transfer people to feel that the PS3 a lot.

Except that this thread is talking about the exact same thing we're asking for. WE can't upgrade WS, graphics, magic, PC, and NPCs due to PS2. They want an upgrade for PC and a port to PS3.

EDIT: And yeah, if you can't buy a $60 PC, you're poor. There's no getting around that. It's a miracle that you were able to afford FFXI in the first place. The PS2 game and HDD cost ~$100 for quite a while, but now a $60 PC is too expensive?

Wow, if that's the case, then some of you have really let your lives go downhill.

Im glad to see you can t make the difference between not wanting to spend 100$ on an outdated computer that will only run ff11(especially when your ps2 can play it fine) and being poor...i think you should go back to school because clearly you still have a lot to learn about life.

I make $100 if I work on a Saturday. I'm a college student. If you can't spare that much money, you're poor.

If you want to make the argument that you're being smart with your money, NEWS FLASH: You're spending at least $156 per year on FFXI. If you're playing this game, you have no right talking about how you don't want to "waste" money.

If anything, it would be a good investment. By buying a PC, you'd be able to play FFXI at higher settings with more options to do things like using the official windowed mode to surf the ffxi wiki when you need help with things. Not to mention, it won't break down nearly as easily as a PS2. If you ever play anything other than FFXI on your PS2, chances are that you are wearing down the (cheap) PS2 laser and eventually you'll start getting disk read errors. Never mind HDD issues which are also a problem.

By the way, here's another thread about JP players who are against PS2 limitations.

Unlike other people here, I actually have evidence for my claims.

They're also suggesting that PCs are affordable and cheap.

See, you just assumed i don t own a pc where in fact i do. and no spending 100$ on an outdated machine just to play one game is not a good investment
