About the PS2 users

It would be really easy and cheap to bring FFXI out for the ps3 and for it to look hugely better than the PS2 version.

It would sell really well too, current pc players woudl like a console version to relax with or dual box, old players would probably be tempted back etc.

Actually, no, it would not be cheap or easy.

-Sony requires PS3 remakes of previous system games to get an HD make over, so pay art dept. to upgrade all the textures in the entire game

-the PS3 has a totally different archetcture from the PS2, so pay the programmers to port the not very portable engine over to the ps3.

The reason they are able to consider the vita is is less dissimilar from PS2 archecture and doesn't necessitate the HD makeover.

Again, there was a reason they chose to build a new game rather than upgrade the one they already had (though when they started they did not think FFXI would stay strong for so long)

No, they wouldn't. You can just connect your PC to a TV and use a gamepad. Sit on couch, grab a beer. Bam, instant console experience.

Based on how SE never lived up to it's original FFXIV publicity about PS3 access, i`m not holding my breath this survey will bring anything good to PS3 users of this game.
