Kill the PS2 limitations end of the Dark Ages Era

[Rambus]

They will never hit that point. The ps2 makes absolutely no limitations on content, whatsoever. Full auto translate dictionaries, >80 inventory slots, etc, would be very nice, but i'm pretty sure the game will survive without such features.

HDD is full, so yes it does

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

I like this idea

The HDD is 40gb, the game takes up, what? 8?

Dont use backspace to deleate information to only see it backspaced the website then you loose your post -.-

anyways I been reading the thread more and I am starting to see my logic in what I posted is wrong.

Bascially I was thinking since they had those "not enough space errors" when doing that update they where running out of room.

if it is just a partition why not make it bigger? is sony stoping them or something? I don't get it

Not sure.

My guess is either red tape from sony, and/or they are waiting until they actually need to increase the size.

Either way, 40 gb is far more than could ever possibly be used by the ps2, for all games, let alone just ffxi.

Because it is sooooo hard to change the size of a partition.

Which they did already, it used to be smaller. lol

[Swords]

It may not be entirely possible to expand the partition size limit if its hard-coded in the system itself. A computer has something called a BIOS chip which contains all the neccessary minimal instructions to start your computer, but ultimately your computer runs off the Hard Drive. The PS2 and most game systems have something similar to a BIOS chip, however it's version contains everything it needs to work and acts independantly without the need of hardware like a Hard Drive. If the data to expand the partition is hard-coded into the chip, there is likely little that can be done to change it's parimiters.

But before anyone says it, the newest generation of consoles have worked around this issue with improved hardware such as flash data storage programmers can update the consoles OS as needed allowing greater flexability to adjust these limits.

That would be nice other wise we will see these threads constantly come up till ps2 is dropped. People just want content ad hate hearing how ps2 is limiting this game is some way as square enix them self have said.

If only those people had even the slightest clue what limitations are imposed by the ps2.
