FINAL FANTASY XI® Seekers of Adoulin

[Aldersyde]

I see this as more of a "we really can't care any less about the non-Japanese players" rather than "we're moving away from PS2."

That's how I see it. In isolation, I might be convinced that it's a ps2 issue but given that SE tried to enact preferential tendencies in fee payment for Japanese players not less than a year ago (which they have since had to back away from), I'm sensing a "screw you" vibe in this decision. Not a good move when the whole relaunching of FFXIV is going to hinge on people who didn't see how bad FFXIV really was, a la the console player, buying it for the ps3. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional; the game's already been more or less written off by the vast majority of PC players.

I'll certainly remember the slight the next time I have a choice of games to pick from.
