    IMHO the solution is simple: offer FFXI as downloadable content through the playstation network and let it work on the PS4. Then give all the PS2 players a free copy of FFXI for the pc, 360, or PS4 (they get to choose).

    The argument for the continuation of the PS2 becomes more and more outrageous as time goes on.
    No I dont, BUT I do expect them to support the game on current and future playstations consoles. If they are launching ffxiv on ps3 it makes no sense why they cant support ffxi on ps3.

    Even though it's getting harder and harder to support previous consoles, heck computers too (I'd love you to name me a game that worked on 98 that still works perfectly on Windows 8) with NEWER software/Hardware.

    The PS4 is already likely to not support PSOne and PS2 games.

    XIV is being built around PS3, or more likely by the time it comes out on the PS3, PS4. XI was not.

    I dont know anyone who has the power to keep trolls out, although SE havent said anything officially about not supporting ps2 any longer, its definitely a concern. In the trailer for the new expansion it said for pc and 360 and made no mention of ps2, but we'll see what happens there still alot of space left on the hdd.

    I’d like to take a moment to clarify which platform Seekers of Adoulin will be available on for those that have been asking. We will continue to support North American FINAL FANTASY XI players on the PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 and PC (Windows) platforms. However, FINAL FANTASY XI: Seekers of Adoulin will only be available on the Xbox 360 and Windows platforms in North America when it is released in 2013.

    I don't know about you, but where I live it's 2012. You don't need to wait for a new expansion to drop the PS2.

    The space on the HDD for Japan is for the expansion, likely some of the space will be used on the NA side for the new items it will adding people will have that you cant get. NA PS2 apparently doesn't have enough reason for them to continue with it. I am sure SE knows how many people actually play on the PS2 in NA, and knows how many people they are limiting. The fact they are losing sales for that choice I am also sure that they are doing it because there are a small number of those people.

    I understand you want it on PS2, but you wont admit its an old console, and chances are it will not be on PS3 till it drops PS2. If they ever add PS3 or redo this games graphics that will probably happen at the same time and thats why PS2 would be dropped by then. Just admit its a 12 year old console, one of the greatest consoles ever made, but its time is up, this is thing in NA that has any relevance and is updated. It should be time that FFXI moves on and stops carrying the dead weight with it. I would love them to add PS3, it makes sense but till then you will need to accept this change, and move on.
