Thought just hit me....wonder if the 360 puts games on the drive like a PS2 does (an image file and not the actual files). If so...it could run into a similar space issue there too.

At this point, their only option may very well be a whole new game that is only on PC, maybe PS3 (Blu-Ray support, it should be able to handle up to 25GB partitions). Guess that's what they were hoping 14 was going to be as they made the effort to tie in the familiar faces and such. What they should have done though is just a continuation of Vanadiel, incorporating new story lines exploring more of the left out lore like the Mithra and Galka's and such. Allow you to import your toons somehow--maybe a lot of the gear wouldn't translate, maybe just specific sets (AF's, Relics, etc.--RE stuff) and your gil. That would have been a good way to take us past 75 instead of the abyssea route they took.

But anyway... what's done is done.

And yet here we are in an "age" where nearly everything people hated when playing FFXI is gone. If anything your argument is a reasoning for converting FF14 into FFXI 2.0.

Even if FFXIV became FFXI 2.0 Eorzea is still a bland soulless copy of Vana'diel populated by bland less interesting versions of FFXI's races.

Miqo'te are simply human women with cat ears and are less visually interesting than Mithra. Same with Galka vs Roegadyn. Elzen are generic tolkien elves.

The world is boring and nothing about it makes me want to live there.

But its just a reality its holding the game back, and has been, since day one. Its not the ENTIRE reason, I never implied that, But it is a driving excuse/Reason behind a lot of past issues, and present, and will be in the future.

The only significant harm to the game came on day one, when they decided to make the game for the ps2, then port it to the pc, instead of having real pc support. Only very minimal things are impossible because of the ps2.

Beginning to feel this argument is getting incredibly redundant. So I think I'll just agree with the keep the PS2 side.

The PS2 is fine, It won't limit or Stop updates now or ever in the future. "PS2 Limitations" was never used as an excuse by the Dev team to not add something in the past, and it won't cause any problems in the future.

I understand this now.

Stopping support for PS2 won't happen because it would give them no real reason to not upgrade the eingine of FFXI "ps2 limiations" is an amazing excuse to not do things, they never even upgraded to a newer version of DirectX when they said they were going to because "it was too much work". Notice how very many things can't be added because "they are too much work"?

Won't ever happen, better to just accept it. Will be funny to hear PS3 limitations excuse and for this whole thing to be played out again in a few years on their new MMO.

Not for things that actually matter it was not.

I know! I'm agreeing with you no.

Sure sounded like sarcasm to me. If not, then you are wrong, because of the statement "'PS2 Limitations' was never used as an excuse by the Dev team to not add something in the past".
