PSN Playstation 2 catalog and renewed support for PS3 slim?

[Kaisha]

Hm...I'm not too tech savvy, and I still have the first ps3 model, so I can't really say this with much certainty but, wouldn't it use an awful large amount of hard drive if it wasn't on a disc? Last time I checked I could have sworn that FFXI and each expansion took around 10gigs of hard drive. 40-50 gigs or so isn't much for a computer, because how many games do you play that take up 40gigs or more of space? On a console though, with saves and demos and other downloaded games...

Wtf are you smoking. FFXI on PC runs about 8gb fully updated. On PS2 it's around 3-4gb.


Anyways, I don't see FFXI ever hitting it as a PS2 Classics primarily because it's a subscription based title, especially when things with POL are going to be changing once they completely phase out payment via it. I'd rather they just do a proper no-frills port to the PS3/Vita and sell it as such.

10.1 GB actually with all expansions except the three add ons that are blatant RMT content that probably already has the files installed anyway, waiting for reg codes. So 6-7 probably for PS2.

I wish there was 50 gigs to be had. That would be the most epic MMO of all time where no one could ever utter the words "there's nothing to do" or risk being dragged out to the street and shot for doom mongering.

PS2 harddrives are 40G, so 50 gigs of data is impossible for this game. Second I played FFXI via 60G PS3 for years, and I didn't have space issues at all til I started buying games off PSN. Third, I honestly can see SE putting the game up on PSN, because as it has been seen throughout the years SE loves money, and remakes, and reissues, so I expect it especially seeing as 14 is still super failga.

Thing I hated about PS2 version... how long updates took on it. God I do miss the old days of playing FFXI on 56k on ps2 tho. Those were good days. Patch all night. Lol.

Now if they would only port FFXI to PS3 in true form... but then MS 360 would cry foul. Think they had the license for it.

Well I saw on IGN's daily fix (14th October) that FFXIV on PS3 gets another beta in November 2012. Kinda nerfs my earlier comment about FFXI on PSN effecting XIV sales.

So in summary I believe a PSN release would boost the player base and give PS3 users a taste of MMO before XIV lands. Also I will be able to play on my sofa instead of on the Ikea office chair in front of my PeeCee!! (or I need to splash out on a lappy with a graphics card!)
