FFXI death, PS2 fault?

[Angelsasuke]

I didnt readf the whole thread so if someone already said this im sorry, but did anyone realize ps2 limitations mostly is the HDD space, instead of tryin to work players outta the game. Why not convince sony to release a way to upgrade to a bigger HDD or maybe SE to develope something that will make a normal external/internal of a bigger size usable.

That is a totally original thought, and you sir should be applauded for bringing a fresh new perspective to the game.

Sure, maybe the PS2 is the cause. Or maybe it's the game being 9 years old.

I don't see where he is flaming, the OP is actually presenting a case in a very well thought out manner. And if you think about it for a bit, maybe SE can upgrade FFXI to become what FFXIV hasn't.

Come on, maybe it's time to break this?

Push FFXI in 2.0 version full windows pc developpement, and enjoy !

I think it would be great for the game to get a graphics overhaul. If they insist on keeping PS2, just do it for the PC, Xbox, and PS3 players.

Another to report for flaming. It's not going anywhere give it up. Theirs already a bunch of selfish posts in multiple threads. If this is the only reason why you made an account here go back to the dying bg or alla.

Honestly, the only person flaming in this thread is you.

And BG is dying?

Alla has always sucked. But BG, dying? Lol.
This may hurt your feelings, but regardless of what you say, the day that FFXI does die, one of the primary causes will be the PS2 service continuing to the end.

As far as people saying they'd pay for an upgrade in graphics, there's absolutely no point for them to allow you to purchase such a thing.
Once the files have been bought by one person, they will be immediately leaked for anyone and everyone to use.
Unless SE plans on revamping POL hardcore [AKA, never.], there's no way to prevent anyone from just using the new files.

Before it's release, I always hoped FFXIV would be the new FFXI with better graphics. We all know now, that was a false hope. It may not have flopped if it was true, though.

God Pizza if you don't support this then you must like playing games with no potential. Maybe thats something you and the ps2 have in common <3

Apparently Freedom of speech doesn't exist within the USA anymore.

It's a valid concern when the hardware continues to prevent basic quality of life changes from being implemented.

Other issues aside, that is a very well-written article.

That article take care just about percentage, could be usefull to know how many are Japanese/Asian PS2/PS3/Xbox active accounts compared to NA/EU. Same thing about PC users, then we could get "the reason why " maybe
