[Dev] PS2 User Poll

[Demon6324236]

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.

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 You can only keep things alive on outdated things for so long before they become a hindrance.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

This guy is an idiot there plenty of people who have it on ps2. Btw this is a video game not a cpu operating system or cpu complex hardware and there more than enough space on the HDD to put the new expansion on. SE is already getting 17.95 out of me each month. Now they want me to buy another new platform or cpu that can handle ffxi gaming plus all the expansions too continue playing, this is stupid and cost way too much especially for a game that's 10 years old.

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.

What favor is SE doing for everyone sir??

lol This thread was a good read. Think it's time to close it up though. OP, to answer your question. No, no one would buy it save the two or three people in this thread who said they would. How about it SE? Spend a lot of money to make a quick, according to this thread, $80 bucks? Or wait until the end of the month and make that same amount in a few seconds?

OP you've really got them cornered!

Ummm not everyone who plays ffxi reads these forums and moreover not everyone that reads these forums write a post, your logic is flawed

p.s. - I just saw this thread a few days ago

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.

You already have a computer that can handle FFXI. Quit trying to play the "I can't afford a PC" card. You make it sound like all PS2 players are financially irresponsible morons, when in reality they are just people who like things a certain way and don't want to change.

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.

If $40 makes or breaks you, what system the expansion is released on should be the last of your worries.

Forcing everyone to play a better version of FFXI.

What are the specs of the PC/laptop you are posting with? Chances are, it is sufficient to run FFXI, unless it's pretty old. The only reason I can't put it on this laptop is because it's an ancient IBM that can't support TNL properly (came with Win2k on it, DX7 hardware support)--but the home built PC (circa 2006, a few upgrades along the way) runs it full screen and full frame rates.

And the cost to get the PC version and all the expansions....is currently LESS then what you report to pay monthly if you get it on sale through steam. Otherwise, it's just 19.99 DLC from all the other channels, and may go on sale at one of those other portals as well (it's been on sale many times for $9.99 or less).
