Sooo SE actually wants to know the numbers of PS2 users eh?

[Minkaa]

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.

This is kind of funny... because to my knowledge you cannot post on the forums from a PS2.

haha

You also can't play the game if you don't have a PC to manage your account on the new SE account system.

Go back a couple of page you got more than one...and come on my deleted post where the ones im attacking you, pretty clear someone got hit in is pride and reported/ but its ok bro somehow it killed your condescending tone.

The game would only be better if they actually improved it after dropping the support, wich i think they won t do

By the way, didn't they teach you that Ad Hominem is one of the lowest (and most flawed) sort of argument? I'm pretty sure you don't need an education for that.

EDIT: It also doesn't change the fact that some of the claims you were making back there are ridiculous and pure nonsense.

EDIT: Oh, sorry,I got *2* posts moderated. One of posts was only moderated because I was directly responding to the personal attack you made on my FFXIAH photos. It's quite obvious who's losing their temper here, especially since you keep on trying to insult my "pride"(pride being a ridiculous concept that's common among simple-minded commoners). I don't need pride, when I simply know that I'm superior--"pasty" white skin or not.

FINAL EDIT: I've made my case here. I've seen enough evidence to suggest that the PS2 will eventually go down. SE's already started to make the moves necessary to drop the obsoleted console, and they will continue to act, regardless of how many PS2 scrubs I continue to educate. Have fun bickering.

The vast majority of NA play on the PC because the PS2 version of FFXI came bundled with the HDD and you had to purchase the network adapter separately. Few people jumped for it. To this day I see FFXI HDD for PS2 at my local walmart and I live in the damn woods. I think there's two of them. I'm debating buying one just for collector's sake.

I guarantee you it's a different story in Japan as console gaming(and arcade gaming) is eons ahead of the PC there. It would not surprise me in the least to learn the vast majority of Japanese still play FFXI on a PS2. And I'd be willing to bet they'd be willing to jump to another platform if it meant a better FFXI. They know the clock is ticking for their PS2s.

Admitting defeat already?

And scrubs and commoner, really who talks like that? Really thinking your better just because you do not play a videogame on a ps2 is quite hillarious.

What don t you do you not get lol? some people do not like playing this game on pc(again what does the current pc version have over the ps2 version other than a higher resolution?)

It has a whole computer attached to it. If you don't know what that does I can't help you. We already discussed at length the things that PC can't have due to PS2 limitations. Your just feigning ignorance now.

i know your angry because people are proving you wrong and that the ps2 support won t be dropped, but you gotta let it go bro, no reason to get that angry and insulting over a game.

Actually I was just late for work and really awestruck at how you fell back on an argument like "nobody plays 360" after complaining for like 30 pages about the same argument being used on PS2.

in the end we all pay the same amount per account and what sounds like a good idea to you might not be to the S-e shareholders

Unfortunately that is true. but currently the money I pay goes towards people trying to create new ways to fit stuff on a 10 year old system. Not really fair to me.

Fair or not is highly dependant on how much money that 10years old system still brings into their pockets. All i hear everytime you and the Your are not on pc bashing crew everytime someone is against ps2 support is OMG YOU ARE KILLING MY DREAM and nothing more.

all you and ,me have been doing so far is talking about things we assume and none of us has concrete proof that either one of us is right or wrong.

No seriously as of today, what is different about playing on ps2 or PC other than the higher resolution? What does having a whole computer attached to it does to the CURRENT version of the game?

No PS2 limitations on PC! :3

Plus, PC has so much more potential for this game. You know this, I know this, a lot of people know this.
I'm not saying PS2 players are killing the game, because that's not necessarily the case, but I'm all for playing on a PC. Heck, I'm updating FFXI on this cheap netbook right now~.

Well for one it can do a million things the PS2 can't while its running FFXI (I can't believe I'm explaining this to a person who is clearly sitting at a computer now). For another, it runs smoother. sorry, but your PS2 runs smoother nonsense doesn't fly here. But most importantly, it is not keeping SE from adding inventory, items, NPCs, maps, textures, storyline..... and if by "assume" you mean that SE has publicly stated that PS2 is limiting the game in these ways, well then yes. I assume.
