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.

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.

No, Im going to keep playing that card because its a fact. Buying a new platform to play a 10 year old game is absurd. How do you know my computer can handle ffxi, already told you it cant, so not only are you a idiot but your psychic one too.

Then the question should be "Why do you even own a PC more than 10 years old?". Because anything newer than that should be able to play it.

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

Keeping a 12 year old console on a game that is still popular enough to get new content and be alive is absurd. If you don't want to buy a PC then don't, if you don't want to upgrade your PC then don't. There is much more reason than 1 single game to do those things, but if you don't want to do it then don't, just don't complain when things like this happen.

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

This is possible, but we have no word on it. We also don't know how things are between Sony on the idea. Sony may see getting FFXIV as being a reason they do not need another FF MMO. Xbox has FFXI however and they are not getting FFXIV, so thats where FF players on Xbox are getting their MMO. It also could be they don't want to spend the time and money with what seems to be a currently small team so that they can add a new console. There are alternatives to playing on PS2, you are not forced to move. You are also not forced to quit, the expansion may not be coming to PS2 but that doesn't mean you cant play the game. My gf went a very long time without abyssea, got 2 jobs to 95 without it, and in the end she lived, you can as well, may not be as fun and you will feel left out but you do have choices to change that if you want and have the money.

Last time I checked the OP made the thread for ps2 users to post, if you don't like this thread and the options of the ps2 posters then don't post, because I will continue to express my concerns.

[Demon6324236]

the options of the ps2 posters

I simply explained your options. Stay on PS2, get less content. Buy new console, get more content. These seem to be your primary options apart from leaving this game.

We all know you'll get left behind in the game if one does not have access to new expansion areas, especially this one when they are implementing a new nation and new continent. Maybe its true ffxi has a skeleton crew, I seen all the ps2 vs cpu debates back then but I chose not to post because I saw it as a stupid argument/debate. Maybe I shouldve posted in those forums seeing that SE visits regularly now. But SE needs to understand that alot of people who play this game do not read these forums, and alot of people who read these forums do not post in them.
