    surefire way to get SE to drop ps2 support

    now i dont really have an opinion on ps2 support, but i see a lot of people complaining about it holding back the game.

    so i thought about SE's track record, and i figured out a bulletproof method of getting them to drop ps2 support

    step1: get everyone in japan to STOP playing FF11 on ps2.

    step2: get everyone in every other region to START playing FF11 on ps2

    step3: ???

    step4: ps2 support is dropped. im pretty sure you can figure out why

    And once it's dropped then what? You really think they're going to fix all the game engine limitations?

    I don't see that as working. I play on the PS2 and, really, don't see any reasons to stop.

    It's still being supported in Japan as witnessed by the trailer on the Japanese Vana'fest stream last night.

    Not sure what they'll do for over here. If they are doing it for PS2 over here, my guess is a digital download via the patch system, as slow as it is. No way they're licensing a new PS2 disc over here given you can't run XI on anything but those who own a PS2-fat and original copy of FFXI with a still operational harddrive and dvd-rom drive.

    Well, if you have a first or second generation PS3 that will run FFXI, too. It's how I play nowadays, on a first gen 60g.

    Playing FFXI in 2012 on a Playstation 2 is like being 40 years old riding a bike to work.

    scroll down to the bottom:

    Title FINAL FANTASY XI® Seekers of Adoulin
    Supported Systems Windows®　Xbox 360®
    Release Date 2013
    Someone in LS last night said they listed PS2 on the JP version of the site, but it's not listed as supported on the US site. Guessing this is how the ps2 support ends....slowly ween people off the console with future content releases?

    You realize 40 is not that old, right? And riding a bike is not only cost-saving and eco-friendly, but also um healthy?

    I am in agreement that the PS2 doesn't matter anymore. FFXI runs on 360 and just about every computer these days, even non-gaming laptops. None of these options are expensive.
