[Dev] PS2 User Poll

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.

Forcing everyone to play a better version of FFXI.

Forcing everyone to play a better version of FFXI.

That's not a favor its a blunder, and by being better is a matter of option. Paying more money for new platforms, past expansion bundles and the new expansion is an absurdity, all of this on top of my 17.95 monthly. Stuff like this will only serve to push customers away

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 You can only keep things alive on outdated things for so long before they become a hindrance.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.

Perhaps because doing so would require them to write a completely new wrapper and have to deal with the SAME limitations nested in the core code (it would be doing the same thing it is doing now). They aren't going to do a full rewrite of the game JUST for the PS3 and it's hardware environment at this late stage of the game.

I don't see why they wouldn't explore this unless they plan on ending the game soon which I doubt. They added xbox 360 too ffxi, ffxiv will be on ps3 so I don't know why SE wont explore making a ffxi version playable for ps3. They had 10 years to make a transition to ps3. Furthermore, there still space on the HDD and having all aspects of the game available to ps2 user except for the new expansion is a bit silly
