FFXI death, PS2 fault?

[Meyi]

There are some terms that can be deleted/shrank to make room for basic translations.

For example, all of the Dynamis zones could be removed, the term "Dynamis" added, and then the term "Abyssea " added.

It's difficult when zones and weaponskills/abilties/spells cannot be translated.

Perhaps they could make auto-translator like they did with the mog satchel and mog sack. Perhaps whatever the current auto-translator is sitting on could be like our "inventory"... and others can coexist side-by-side?

There has to be a way to work around it. SE is intelligent, I'm sure they'll think of something!

They could do so much if they drop the PS2- they could update the graphics/port the game onto the Crystal Tools engine and anything becomes possible. After 9 years this game still has huge potential, mainly because the PS2 has been holding it back since the beginning.

Because the result of that process has proven to be something I'd rather not play, while FFXI by contrast is still very appealing and has plenty of untapped potential.

Did you see the beginning of FFXI? Granted, SE should've done a lot better with FFXIV's release, but the beginning of any mmo, that you're trying to bring new elements, will be rocky. The game is much better now than it was to start, and will continue to get better. Just like FFXI. I like Yoshi-P (the new director) I have faith he and his team shall do the game justice.

I like your signature. I'm gonna steal that concept of the gear you have/want to get.

actually yes I did see the early early stages of final fantasy 11 and granted it needed some work. but it was still a solid game that could hold my attention and was fun though incredibly though to get through

in the beginning , XI was yet a great game and even if it needed some adjustments, it was already a good game and in fact XI won prizes and awards from its first appearance... not with XIV

That would be because FFXIV can only improved in graphics. You can add a few different things to do, but basically, it's an mmo. Everyone's caught up and they're all the same at the core. Quest, level up, fight stuff, and try to have the best gear. SE's presentation has always been great so people are used to seeing games come out that look great. So by now, of course no one will be wowed. FFXIV looks amazing. It's what we expected. We saw it in 13. We'll continue to see it.

More like asking them to remove a platform from a mulit-platform game so they can rework the engine to foster a richer gaming experience for the playerbase.

I agree.. the Old PS2 has become obsolete.. Its not even being sold in stores anymore unless you got some old school video game store near you that actually stock piles the big old versions of PS2.. Now a days its just slim ps2s with no room for the hard drive.. More players are using a PC and Xbox360 compared to the PS2... I say start a thread finding out who all is actually playing FF11 using a PS2, PC and xbox360 and I am almost 99% sure that the numbers for PC and Xbox360 will be higher than that of PS2 users playing FF11... I say down with the PS2 limitations
