[Dev] PS2 User Poll

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.

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.

Well I will ask you then why should SE continue to support a console or a group if there are small amount of people who play on that console?

I'm curious....just how does one get left behind if they don't visit the new continent?

Level to 99 in pre-Abyssea areas....check
Aquire Powerful abyssea gear solo at 99....check.
Complete Empyrean weapons either solo or with LS/FriendsList contacts....check.
CoP content level cap restrictions lifted....WotG/TAU (most all older content) soloable/low-man content now....check.

Sooooo...all you are denied without having access to the new zone, is the new zone and items that can only be obtained by completing content in that new zone (if it can be bought/traded, it can be acquired without completing said content).

So again.....just how does one get "left behind"?

That is not getting left behind in any way shape or form. Being left behind implies you are rejected, discarded, left to rot and fend for yourself...you've become a modern day pariah because you don't have access to one island on the map.

All you've done is mostly make a list of new items, which as I stated earlier, if it is gear that can be bought/traded--you can still acquire them without stepping foot on the island.

New jobs....I've got 4 jobs stuck at 0, and never intend to unlock them. It hasn't caused me to be left out of any content because I don't have them available.

Events/Logistics...I don't do NNI, only hit floor 100 on NI this past year, still have a ton of assaults to do---doesn't mean I get rejected because I haven't completed that content. I have leaders in my LS that have yet to finish some of older content--haven't even finished WotG. None of that has caused them to get "left behind". I have friends that never even started Crafting or Synergy in the current scope of content, and it hasn't held them back.

People get very far in this ggame with never even gaining access to Khazaam. So, again.....how does it cause one to be spurned from the game if they don't have access to one island?

the polls they took about a year ago most likely beg to differ.

I play on PC x2 and though the PS3 with backward compatibility. And it looks horrible on PS3..even with a fancy TV and quality hookup cables. *IF* if looked better on PS3 i would be interested..but without a complete overhaul it won't...so drop PS2 support imo...technology passed that platform by.

Wheres your proof for this?? Moreover, if such a poll does exist I didn't see it or participate in it, which leads me to my next statement "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."

I saw this notification but I didn't participate in it, if they would've came out and said the data from this poll will determine how we support compatibility with other platforms, I would've participated in it. Moreover, whats the outcome of that poll? Do you have the tally?
