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.![]()
