Hello Verytus, is there any insight as to what SE plans to do with ps2 as it relates to ffxi? And will SE ever put ffxi on the ps3 console?

Both these questions were answered, specifically. They planned to keep supporting the PS2, but not add content to it outside of Japan. They also said, more than once, that they weren't gonna release it on the PS3.

Verytus is simply the gods' minion. You would need to speak to the gods themselves for that answer.

1. they will continue to support the PS2. (They've stated this multiple times) (Just no Expansion for NA market)
2. PS3 version? I would say no, because the PS4 will be announced either next year or 2014 at the latest. You'd just be trading 1 outdated system for another.

I believe I directed that question to Verytus, reason being is to see if he have any new information on the issue. However ffxi already exist on 360 which is a much older console than ps3 and ps4 will not be launch in awhile, for all we know it could have several push backs or launch delays.

You need to ask reps for that form of question, not GMs. I doubt GMs know much more than we do honestly.

the 360 is about 1 year older than the PS3, you could even say maybe a few months at that tops.

Also a lot of the 360 users will tell you that the version on the 360 isn't anywhere near as good as PC (or even in some cases PS2)

Well hopefully Veryrus can pass this information to a rep so they can give ps2 users the latest information on this issue. I would like to know where they stand on the ps2 issue, because it would be exceedingly unfair to have the new expansion available for ps2 in japan and not supported or available for ps2 in NA.

No offense but like I have said before SE is not a company you should look at for being fair to NA on games. Almost every game made for PS2 by Square Enix has had more content in Japan than in NA. Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII, Star Ocean, many others are much the same, and thats why this doesn't surprise me. I hope they are fair about it, I have no problems with them putting it on the PS2 for NA, but I am simply trying to help you understand why they probably wont be.

I'm gonna go ahead and say you're desperately trying to troll. I pointed out earlier SEs stand on SoA being ported to PS2 in NA. But just in case you were too busy pointing out spelling errors, or what year it is, here it is again.

Greetings,
I’d like to take a moment to clarify which platform Seekers of Adoulin will be available on for those that have been asking. We will continue to support North American FINAL FANTASY XI players on the PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 and PC (Windows) platforms. However, FINAL FANTASY XI: Seekers of Adoulin will only be available on the Xbox 360 and Windows platforms in North America when it is released in 2013.

First of all, the 360 version came out 6 years ago, on what was basically a new (read as: not soon to be replaced) system. Porting the game to a system (PS3) that is probably going to be replaced by a newer system (PS4) before they even finish porting it doesn't make any sense.

Second, I understand why users who already have a PS3/4 would want them to port it over, but I have absolutely no idea what that has to do with PS2 players. Why would you want them to port it to a console that will cost you $400+ to purchase, when you could get a PC (Which you probably already own) that plays the game better for cheaper?

Edit: on a side note, I played for several years on PS2 and 360 and with the exception of the minor growing pains I went through in getting my 360 wireless controller to work on my PC correctly, I find the PC experience to be better in every way.

/em goes to harass Microsoft Some more about making a driver that works with FFXI correctly so that I don't have to use these unsigned JP drivers any more.
