LOL This (PS2 being dropped for North America) only happened because SE themselves a few years ago used "PS2 limitations" as excuse for not doing what they were supposed to do.

Then the NA users decided to take an "ANTI PS2" sabotage instance. Then SE do some sort of POLL with their users to know which platform to develop for. NA players then choose anything BUT PS2 due to the anti PS2 campaign. JP users don't follow that suit.

Then here is the result: PS2 is dropped only for NA, Japanese PS2 is going strong.

That was pretty amusing. Thanks for the fun. I guess I'll just put the NA PS2 on the attic now ... :P

/me fires up the Japanese PS2 and keeps playing.

Making a thread - regardless of the topic - and then try to dictate what people can and cannot post in said thread, is guaranteed to backfire. I believe it already did in this case.

It doesn't have to "back-fire" if I could use the poll feature myself, AND if people respected one another. But people believe that this Online Shield of Amnesty gives them a free pass. It's not hard to do a simple request, but the vast majority here seem to be callow to no end.

IF it were available for PS2, I'd buy it. (PS2 is easily transportable for when I house sit for friends) Although with Laptops coming down in price, I will probably go that route eventually.

I'm am a brand new FFXI player and I play on the Xbox. I tried the PC version as well but have found for me personally, I like the Xbox version. The graphics are in HD and playing with the Xbox controller is much easier. I did find that you could play with the controller on the PC version as well but there is a tedious setup procedure that many people would probably give up on.
Also, from what I read the PS2 is not getting the new Expansion (correct me if I'm wrong) only PC/Xbox would be.

Delicious strawberry tears. PS2 is over, just like HNM. JUMP IT.

And it's most likely true that PS2 will be done in the US, minus still being supported, just no expansion.:

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.

I was just asking IF people would buy it if it was to come to the states.
I mean I would, but that's because I like my set-up in my room and my computer is really just for drawing and surfing of the webs. Also, I'm pretty sure my PS2 might blow a fuse if I tried to play anything but FFXI at this point.

To everyone: I'm sorry if my OP came across as abrasive. It's very frustrating that people are so malicious to one another for no really good reason. I'm a firm believer in it's not what you say, but how you say it. Which is why I'm going to again apologize. But we're people, we have feeling and there's no need to be mean to our fellow adventures in FFXI REGARDLESS of which platform you wish to play on. Text doesn't have inflection or modulation so what you might type in jest may come across hurtful, mean, or insensitive. We all vary in backgrounds, and what it takes to cause emotional harm to someone else may differ greatly from individual to individual.
