I'm pretty sure that less than 1/4 of the playerbase all over the world uses PS2 now.

Oh and where did you learn that their economy isn't the greatest? Yes, they suffered a horrendous natural disaster, but in case you aren't aware of it, the Japanese are far more resourceful than you could ever imagine. Wow! They even build and export PC's........................and have running water and electricity.

japanese players. Honestky you guys are dense JP have always been more keen to consules then we are. You seem to forget japan is much different then the states and EU.

If jp are not big on consules why was ffxi made for the ps2? then released on the pc. Plus even tanaka even stated he doesn't own a pc capable of running ffxiv at home. japanese pc players are a minority compair to consule players. they actually from what I looked up work longer hours then we do.

That is the only truth I can find from your post to be honest, everything else is pure speculation.

Fun Fact: Americans work the hardest, Japanese work the longest. Who's to say who works the best?

acytually i do talk to the jp players. and I did look into stuff from wiki. ffxi was out for a year on the ps2 in japan then moved to pc. It was launched in ametica on pc then ps2 after. If jp were not more keen to consules ffxi soulda been made and launched on the pc first. But it wasn't. I do not speculate I use common sence. I also play ffxiv and though jp are the bigger numbers atm, it isn't as big since the ps3 wasn't launched. (game is getting better)

But do you talk to the players now? On all servers?

Also I call you guys children for petty insult you do because I have a different opinion on things. Such as the tags. Really you guys do not need to consistently bash me for my opinions. Yet feel the need to shove yours down my throat. Learn to type with out and Insult and writing up tags to insult me then I can stop calling you children. I'm also more or less just calling out child-like behavoir that is usatisfactory for your ages. I mean really alling me dense over petty bs, or bashing me because you took something I said to literally. Jeezum crow. You guys seriously need ta stop. I can be nice if given the chance to. But you guys enjoy your pathtic taunts just to make yourself feel better. Attack the post not the poster.

I remember a survey in 2009 stating that about 30% of the players use PS2.

But that was in 2009. I'm sure a lot of people have quit since then.
