If you think SE will cut off its JP PS2 player base, you are stupid or delusional and likely both, but more probably just stupid. It makes me happy to know that you are wrong, wrong, wrong and that you chase a fruitless dream. JP PS2 support will continue past 2015 or 16 when Sony decides they're not going to support the platform at all. SE doesn't have the cahones to do otherwise.

^and this is exactly why I'm glad NAs can't PS2 in the expansion. Thank you for ignoring the actual message and being butthurt. I appreciate it.

Brah, I play on PC and keep another account on my old ass PS2. But if you would had read the entire thread, you'd know that. Thanks for coming out!

Your post had an actual message? I interpreted it as "I hate PS2" and just kinda zoned out.Sorry, when I get bored, I make up my own stories.

I don't hate PS2 at all... I just get sick and tired of players thinking that it's somehow "unfair" that PS2 isn't going to be maintained forever. It's old technology, plain and simple. That's why I stopped playing on PS2 back in 2004.

But JP PS2 will likely be continued "for ever", because PC gaming just doesn't seem as big as console gaming in Japan. So the only thing you're really supporting is regional discrimination. If someone can prove me wrong on console vs. PC numbers, than do so, because I don't think any of you can.

Discrimination is a very VERY strong word for what is going on here. Sony didn't release the HDD for PS2. Ooh its regional discrimination. Final Fantasy XIII was released a few months later in the west, OOH its regional discrimination. This is why people are calling you 'butt hurt' (although I hate that term); because you are making a mountain out of a molehill.

You are right, there are lots of JP PS2 players so it would be unfair to drop PS2 support and ask them to upgrade. In the West hardly anyone plays on PS2. A lot of those who do only do so on PS3. And here's the important thing. You can still play this game on your PS2/3 just not the new expansion. Its unreasonable to ask SE to release this expansion on another platform just for you and a couple of your friends who like to dual box. I think you are all underestimating how much that costs.

Christ almighty, PROVE THIS. Is a little empirical evidence too much ask? I don't give shit about your opinion, gut feeling or so-called educated guesses. Shit or get off the pot. When you do I'll shut up and let you go back to your totally irrational belief that by eliminating PS2 support, SE will somehow find the will and resources to vastly improve this game's player experience.

I'm not "butthurt" about anything. I play on PC for Christsakes. I may even convince myself to play the expansion without my PS2 dualbox character if SE convinces me its cool enough. When did elementary reading comprehension and following a conversation go from being a basic skill to a lost f*%king art?

SE already proved it via their actions. SE is a business. Businesses do what is most economic. If there was enough of a player base on PS2 in NA, they'd still be getting support.

No solid evidence, but I do recall a poll done by SE a while ago on what platform people were using to play. It's quite possible that this decision is based on the outcome of that. I mean, what other logical reason could they have not to publish it in the USA? 'regional discrimination?'...

Also, you're spewing mad. It's delicious.

Someone's angry...

1) Walk into Gamestop.
2) Look at the walls.
3) Ask employee about new PS2 releases.
4) Open any videogame magazine (sans RETROGamer or Nintendo Power) and find the PS2 reviews and previews.

If you were able to find out about any new or relevant PS2 software information, then you are in a wormhole and have found a way to trascend time and space. And for that, I congratulate you.

[Randwolf]

Yes, and I consider this a step towards that final goal of no more PS2. Even if this dream never comes to fruition, knowing that there are fewer retarded NA players on PS2 makes me happy.

I know this comes off rather trollish, and I apologize, but my god, NA players have complained the most in 10 years about how they "deserve more from SE."

Nice try at making an attack and...

then pretend you were attacked first. Jeez, the IQ of some people on these boards...
