FALSE!

Partitions.

False. You don't actually know what you are talking about.

It's true that it has a 40GB Harddrive. Partition assigned to FFXI was 4GB on initial install and expanded to 8GB circa-CoP, iirc. Considering FFXI was one of the two games I can think of that ever used the Harddrive, I don't know why they didn't just give it like 20GB right off the bat.

It's rog. It comes with the territory.

what will it be?

Overhaul FFXI's Windows client for modern PCs. Update to DirectX 9/10/10.1/11 Does not mean dropping PS2 support, just a client update for PC version, texture and geometry assets would remain the same possibly with a few tweaks such as replacing dithered textures with the 24-bit RGB originals, if original textures were drawn at a higher resolution and then scaled down use the higher res versions (texture artists commonly do this). 60fps, MSAA and get rid of the whole background/overlay resolution silliness. Also implement a "draw menus 2x size" option and split chat box.

[Yugl]

Ban PC players since their delimitations have awakened the stalker.

[Atomic_Skull]

Use the XIV graphic engine and allow players to warp between games.

ewwww.. No, just.. no.

CryEngine 2 or Unreal 3 or hell, even Source but not that... thing.

FALSE!

The ps2 has a 40gb hdd.

Max size partition any application can access is 10GB though, and FFXI for Ps2 is 8 GB now so do the math.

I'd like a letter of apology for harboring posters of bad ideas..... since this is a wish list not a criticism of the wonderful, lovely, handsome and might I say dashing mods who patrol these forums. Making it safe to go out at night and post without fear of rebuke again.

Too many people rely on PS2 to play the game (Japan) for them to do away with it. Though, props to those who can still even use a PS2 and HD to play it. My ps2 long since died. A version for PS3 would be nice. but the game is all ready a port of a port. makes things tough.

I'd like to see a new graphics/textures pack released to those that can take advantage of it. (pc, xbox360 and if its ever is possible ps3) Other games have no problem with doing said things even if people as a whole can't do the same. the game is still very pretty, but these new-fangled wide screen monitors are really making the game look its age. Better texture compression and particle effects didn't show up until Toau and it is really noticeable in the starting towns, Models, and older gear. even on our characters. Extended chat log character limit would be nice too, since if you are on a wider screen you only get to use half of it but the chat box still goes across the other side of the screen. (though in retrospect I fear what that would do for town shouts)

Pretty much aware that these things can't be changed, but any effort put forth to make the game better in general is still appreciated.

Everything important except the movement and collision detection of your character happens at the server not on the client. They could update quite a lot on the PC and 360 versions without affecting PS2 support.
