[Dev] PS2 User Poll

[Myriads]

I've played on a PS2 since NA launch for it. I went with it back then because every computer in my house was an Apple, and back then there was no way to get the game to play on one.

That little machine is still working like a charm, and I play on it most every day.

I was saddened to hear that it would not be supported for the new expansion. But I also knew this day would come. Heck at over a decade old some night I knew the machine wouldn't work at some point.

So I decided to build a little system to just play FF on.

$60 got me a PC that could more then play the game. The needs for FF XI are pretty modest when one is looking at new computers.

I spent $18 for a PC to TV connector. I plan to still play on my nice big TV.

I spent $4 for a PS2 controller to UBS adaptor. I like to play with the game control. It just feels 'right' after all these years.

I will buy/grab a copy of the game files from either steam, or one of the hosts that keeps it updated for download, and patch it (not a process I look forward to, but its needful)

So this change will be a chance for me to get a new system that from all I hear plays a better version of the game, and will free me from the worry of my system dying of old age, yet provide all the aspects of the play experience I've liked for a decade. All for about $100. Not a crushing cost.

If the powers that be made the game available to NA PS2 users yes I'd get it. But I'm also going to prepare to move on, because, after all, things like the PS2 have a life span, and honestly, a decade on electronics is amazing.
