But that doesn't mean I think it's bad to play on PS2, PS3 or Xbox.

'Looks at his post' hmmm I never said anything or hinted at that the PC was bad(even though I hate pc gaming). But what is bad is how people are acting like the ps2 has done nothing for FF11 and its a curse. Bottom line is the ps2, during its era, has made SE more revenue then the PC in has in 5 decades. That is Why' the ps2 is was choosen and still is a platform that hosts FF11.

I agree with you on this. It really pushed FFXI out into the open. I don't think it's a curse, however I do think it has become a hindrance to the games progression into a new era with new graphics etc because of it's memory problem. At the same time though, I understand why they wouldn't want to get rid of it. It's bad business to screw even a small portion of your customers ;)

Started on PC (can not remember which it was but lol it barely kept up with the game) I'm still on the PC...but have a different one which has been upgraded.

I also had the game for PS2...but the HDD took a dive and that was the end of that... Since my TV was a POS for picture value, I <3 my PC for the smoother lined graphics.^^

I started on ps2 i only got it because a friend of mine wanted me to play with him. I started around ps2 release mainly wanted hard drive/adaptor for socom/Resident evil to play online lol. but fell in love with ffxi like my friend told me I would. Went threw 2 ps2 then went to pc/xbox

Cast quake and flood on PS2!!!

I originally started playing in may '04 on the PS2. I went thru 3 PS2's mostly for failing optical drives. Same HDD thru all 3 consoles tho. I still have it working too lol!
I switched to xbox360 (when i saw SS's of the better graphics) when it became available for it but shortly thereafter went to PC(when i built one good enough to run it).
I agree that the PS2 is the the thing that holds back the game but i don't forsee it being abandoned anytime soon if at all.

You can get ps2 version of ffxi on amazon. I saw atleast 18,some new sealed with hdd

Started on PS2, then switched to 360, played on PS3 briefly when my XBox died, but for the past 4 years or so, I've been PC-only.

However POL is still installed on my PS3/360 just to get around that "Verified by Visa" garbage.

Started out on PC, then bought PS2 version as backup, and then later the 360 version, again as backup. I no longer have the PS2 version though, as I got rid of my PS2, I do have a BC PS3 though so I might reinstall it on that.

360 most of way had another acc on pc for a lil bit thu
