[B]Q: There have been no updates to the auto-translate dictionary recently. Can we expect any terms to be added in the future?

A: PlayStation 2 memory limitations have placed us in a difficult situation where the addition of new terms to the auto-translate dictionary would require the deletion of existing entries. Given this, there are no current plans to add new terms, and we ask for your patience and understanding as we consider all possibilities. In a related matter, we are looking into updating the glossary contained in the Play Guide available on the official web site.

Another to report for flaming. It's not going anywhere give it up. Theirs already a bunch of selfish posts in multiple threads. If this is the only reason why you made an account here go back to the dying bg or alla.

It's a valid concern when the hardware continues to prevent basic quality of life changes from being implemented.

I posted this on Twitter, my idea wouldn't be to end support for PS2, but perhaps release a game upgrade for PC users (and XBOX 360 I suppose, if it can handle it) that would amount to a graphical update of the game. I know it doesn't solve issues like the Auto Translate limitation, but I know most in my LS would pay upwards of $40 for a prettier XI. I know I would. Certainly they could make enough to justify the development cost.

I would too. It would be nice to have some better graphics. Would be even better if the NPC's actually had voices, but that's just wishful thinking :D But, I would certainly be willing to pay for better graphics.

Other issues aside, that is a very well-written article.

I's not a flaming report, but a real problem. We can speak about this, right?

I don't see where he is flaming, the OP is actually presenting a case in a very well thought out manner. And if you think about it for a bit, maybe SE can upgrade FFXI to become what FFXIV hasn't.

That article take care just about percentage, could be usefull to know how many are Japanese/Asian PS2/PS3/Xbox active accounts compared to NA/EU. Same thing about PC users, then we could get "the reason why " maybe :D

Well I'm pretty sure you can but it can still technically be harassment against your fellow players that can't or just would rather play on PS2. The fight is getting old.

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.
