FFXI death, PS2 fault?

I want to not just see more reskins of the same zones if the 250 area limit is true. You've had 8 years to get a PC or 360 and the cost of a PC that can run this game is probably somewhere in the 150$ range at this point.

The reskins count as zones. Whether or not that ~250 zone limit is still in place (I've heard it may not be anymore), each zone takes a spot in the list, whether it looks like another zone or not.

And for all the people saying for paying customers to spend $150-300 to get a pc "for cheap" that will play this game; Until you put your money where your mouth is and send those PS2 users that $150-300, you don't have a vote. It's easy to say "make others pay more" when you're not the one of the ones being told to pay.

would pay upwards of $40 for a prettier XI

i would pay $100 for an official PS3 copy

Ok your right, but ... that's mean no New addon in futur, just some history like moogle or shantoto adventure ... in same zone, always and always ;_;

You can't go by those numbers for PS2 because u needed a PC to fill in that survey the only real fair way to find out is ask a random set of pple ingame.

I'm pretty sure there is a pretty large proportion of ps2 gamers in japan that still use a ps2 for FFXI. (i would guess 10-20% of all ffxi user use a ps2 one way or another).

As for FFXI in HD remake i'd say no thx because honestly it's a redicuolus idea the number of man hour to reskin every zone would be insane to the point you could probably have them create a new set of zones.

Honestly we really don't know what problems the ps2 is causing and so far I've seen no problems except the auto translate which is fine as it is nothing they could add to would allow me to communicate that much better lol.

Honestly you can't make everyone happy. Yes people may quit if they dropped support for PS2 which in my opinion is something that should be done if it would greatly benefit the game overall. People have quit due to lots of changes before, I saw many people quit because of the level cap raise, but new players have always come in.

Another thing is that PC players shouldn't have to be affected if they decided to revamp the graphics. They could always make it optional so you don't HAVE to have a high end PC just to play the game.

Exactly, make it a paid upgrade, just like Abyssea or the other expansions that you buy and have activated.

To Rezeak, I don't think the reskinning would take as long as you think.

Either way <droping the ps2 or not> FF11 wont die >.>;;;

I think SE should develop a PS3 version to replace the PS2 version. I don't know about other regions, but in North America, you can't even get a PS2 with a hard drive unless you buy a refurbished unit. And even then the only game that even came with and used the hard drive was the original release of FFXI.
So the real question is would a PS3 native client, which people would have to go out and buy, be cost effective.
