Kill the PS2 limitations end of the Dark Ages Era

Accounts are not limited intersystemly. You can log into any other version with the one account.

But I do agree, eliminate PS2 which is the smallest minority of the market so thatthe rest of us can have new content. It doesn't have to be immediate. You can easily work with a phase out period.

You can have all the new content SE is willing to make. The ps2 can hold another 30gb+ of content.

It's not a spece limitation, it's the ram that's holding it back. It can no longer keep up with the content of the game.

Adding content requires absolutely no additional ram.

It doesn't have the RAM to process all that data though.

Obviously it does, or it would not be able to run the game now.

Not sure why you think things like loading a zone, new gear, etc require more ram. Only one zone is loaded at a time, only so many gear sets can be loaded at once, etc. They can add an infinite amount of them, and the only additional ram requirements would be to allow more than 65535 zones/whatever.

Instead of all these PS2 limitation threads poping up It would be nice to have a Dev or SE offical make an official post on their thoughts about PS2 and if they would ever consider dropping PS2 support. A SGM(and GM's I believe) can tell what client you are playing on, the last time I read something about the JP having a large PS2 player base was years ago, would be nice to see how that has changed over the years and maybe current numbers?

Depending on how many players (World wide there are still NA's/EU's who play on PS2) it might actually be beneficial for them to drop PS2 support. What some people fail to realize is that some of the things players want isn't just a simple "Drop the ps2" fix and is actually in the base code since the game was orig. made for PS2, PC/360 are just an emulated version and a lot of "changes" people are asking for would require an entire remake of the game. Which I don't see happening since they are trying to keep lolFF14 afloat.

Edit: Should ask SE to drop FF14 support and focus on 11 tbh. :/

You'd be surprised. lol

They, officialy, cannot takes side in this matter.

You're not understanding the issues, loading a map is fine but stuff that's always on you like, tab translate speak entries, inventory spaces, etc that requires more processing.

Also with Square-Enix already saying the reason you can't change your hairstyle is due to PS2 limitations.

None of that is content. Auto translate phrases are not part of actually playing the game.
