PLAYSTATION 2/3 GLITCHES NEED TO BE ADDRESSED

[Gilraen]

Why don't you tell Sony that the PS2 is obsolete. Please, do so so we can get the old PS3 back. If you haven't noticed, Sony still makes the PS2 (just not the fat PS2, which is used to run FFXI unless you went and modded a slim to use an HDD) and the slim PS3 is a far cry from what it used to be (and not in a good way). As far as Sony is concerned the PS2 isn't even beginning to be obsolete, and game makers have yet to stop making new PS2 games. The system isn't dead. It may be picking a burial plot but it's yet to actually be shuffled off to a retirement home.

All that said, FFXI still exists on it's mother console in both the US and it's home market of Japan. Square needs to step up and address whatever they broke in the May update in regards to the PS2 version.

That isn't going to solve the problem unfortunately. Ps3 fat (which I play on) is running the same game as the Ps2. In fact it has more problems with sticky npc's, and blackscreens than the Ps2 did for the years I played on it. The game would have to be basically rewritten for the Ps3 for it to properly utilize the machine vs just emulating it. SE isn't going to pay for the significant cost to do this. It makes no sense business wise.

The best thing we can do as console users is to understand this situation, and change platforms unanimously to pc. While this might not fix everything that is wrong with the game in one fell swoop it will change several issues right off the bat, and also allow the development team to focus solely on pc development which is what the game needs at this point in it's life.
