    Are you going to buy computers for every PS2 player? Do you expect SE to? Will you try to get all PC and XBox 360 players to get together and chip in to buy FFXI-capable computers for every single PS2 (and PS3, since they're running an emulation of PS2) player out there?

    Somehow, I doubt it.

    Adoulin is installed but still not lighting up on your title screen? Here's what to do:

    99% of them probably already have a pc that will play ffxi, either as is, or with the addition of a $10 video card.

    Ps3 players would be fine going over 32mb ram usage.

    Prove it. ALso, what about the other 1%? Are you okay with shutting them out? It seems like it would generate bad PR.

    You realize that the PS3 operation of FFXI is an emulation of PS2 FFXI and therefore subject to the limitations of the PS2 system including but not limited to RAM usage, don't you?

    I'm pretty sure no one should be shackled by 1% of people on FFXI.
    We shouldn't suffer due to them not being able to move on.

    Times change, so do computers and games.

    You realize that the PS3 operation of FFXI is an emulation of PS2 FFXI and therefore subject to the limitations of the PS2 system including but not limited to RAM usage, don't you?
    And that's why you drop the PS2 support and create a PS3 version.
    But, regardless of this happens PS2 support needs to be dropped.

    Not quite. Emulation is not exactly the same as the original system, and can take advantage of new hardware that did not exist in the original system.
