[Dev] PS2 User Poll

I like this line of thinking. Wouldn't it be great if all software manufacturers had to make every version of their software on floppy disk for all the tards who refuse to get a CD / DVD drive or an internet connection?

"Here you go sir. 1 copy of windows 7. Would you like the DVD version? or would you prefer 5,000 floppy disks?"

"Floppy please. It takes me six weeks to go through all the disks, but it's totally worth it so that I don't have to spend $40 on a cd drive!"

And I love this type of Mentality. I play on PC but I don't give a fuck if someone wants to play on PS2 saying they should HAVE to play on pc is just beyond stupid. I mean shit you saying stuff like "it's totally worth it so I don't have to spend $40" as if $40 was nothing. Well the fact of the matter is 40 bucks is actually more than alot of people can afford to spend so if you truly want everyone to switch to pc here is an idea go out and buy everyone a pc after all they are so cheap that people can pick them up for less than the expansion right? I am sure you can afford that.

Why don't you buy me a PS2 since you think I should get a PS2 quality game despite the fact that I paid for the PC and 360 versions as well. And $40 isn't a lot of money (Nor is it even relevant). I just watched a kid sell a PS2 and some games for $40 today at the garage sale across the street. He probably went and spent that money on a better gaming system and you should do the same.

If you can afford to pay $100+ a year for a game, but can't come up with $19.99 once every ten years to change platforms, then you either have the tightest budget in known existence, or you are full of crap. What are you gonna do if they raise the subscription price due to inflation? Will you be forced into a life of crime to pay for it? Oh gosh. I hope they don't do that. The street will be full of insane FFXI addicts. This could be worse than crack in the 80's.

I play on PC. The fact of the matter is You are telling people they NEED a pc to play this game you are trying to compare need to want which is stupid. No matter what you aren't gonna get the type of update you want even if they remove all support and put it on only PC. ps2 players have been just as dedicated to this game as any pc players if not more so. So seriously all the people playing on PC need to get off their damn high horse and leave PS2 players alone.

No, SE are telling them that. He's just trying to convince them that it's not a bad thing. SE are basically doing everyone a favor with this move, even though many people are too stubborn to see it.

Nothing about being on high horses. Simple way to say it, been 10 years, its on a 12 year old console. You can only keep things alive on outdated things for so long before they become a hindrance. People can upgrade, and if they are gamers should have upgraded by now. By the end of the next 2 years we should see a new gen on consoles, meaning the PS2 will be 2 gens behind. Games for it are mostly not sold in stores, the console is dying and it is generally time to move on, FFXI is probably the only game still even alive on PS2.

I love the PS2, I got it when it came out and played it for 9 years as my only system I ever really played, then I went to Xbox 360 around 3 years ago, I still play PS2 but I accept the system is old and dying, and I expect nothing good to come of this game keeping it around. If they were to say now that FFXI will be alive for 5 more years, I would expect them to drop all PS2s in the next year or 2 then move on and possible support another console when releasing a pack with all the expansions.

I understand that so why not make it for ps3, most people who have ps2 naturally move on too ps3. If they are not going too make the expansion for ps2 then make a version of ffxi for ps3.
