For those of us who still support the PS2 version of FFXI

[Detoxy]

Ps2 should be used as weight to hold ur door open or to hold books on ur shelf. Its an outdated system that sony needs to stop supporting. U peps that still have a ps2 get a job and upgrade so we can move along.

I mean really.

The PS3 is out.
More technologically advance computers are out.
And they released FFXI on the XBox360.

FFXI (PS2 version) has been discontinued.
The bulky PS2 has been discontinued.
FFXI has been problematic for PS2 users and limiting to all players because SE still has the system supported.

What's the most beneficial reason that players want to still play on the PS2 version? It's been, what? Over 2yrs since SE started declaring that the PS2 was limiting their abilities to expand the game? That's more than enough time to build a reasonable savings to upgrade so the entire community could enjoy more content in the years to come.

But guys, everyone should cater to me because I refuse to make any effort to switch from an 11 year old discontinued system to something new!

I don't even know how much longer it will be feasible to even play on ps2.

Don't those consoles eventually burn out/ break down just from normal wear and tear.

I don't even know people who use the same car for 10+ years.. let alone a video game system


It would be nice if they could continue supporting the ps2 forever.. but realistically it has to die at some point...

I think 15 years is good for a game system >_>

I'm still convinced that the N64 is blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Forged in the crystal forge of Superman's fortress of solitude.

And had the balls of Brahman brush atop its curvaceous frame.

It is god-damn indestructible.

the main problem with your argument, is that in Japan (where most of the PS2 player base is) The old PS2 and HDD are still being made and sold, it was only discontinued in other regions.

Still doesn't prove the fact that the PS2 has been causing FFXI to have problems. All they would need is reason to stop using it... why are they still making the bulky PS2 in Japan? Are they upgrading the system where it's more reliable?

Japan = Sony fanboys.

never said it was not holding FXI back, in fact I know it is, and I am on the side of updating FFXI to PS3. It seems that one of the big sides of the argument was that the old PS2 and the DVDs where discontinued, and I pointed out that they are, but not in Japan, where most of the PS2 base is.
