Hey guys!

We had the chance to ask the FFXI Team some questions on the heels of this years VanaFest 2012- You can check out the full Q&A here-
http://ffxi.gamerescape.com/2012/07/...vanafest-2012/

GE- In North America Seekers of Adoulin will not be available for the PlayStation 2. Can you tell us what lead to this decision? It seems a bit odd to increase HDD capacity for the game on the console then only release the expansion in one territory. Why not release the expansion digitally?

SE (Answered by Square Enix, Inc.)- In evaluating the North American release of the expansion across all platforms, we needed to consider multiple factors, including the number of players exclusively on the system, and the costs associated with publishing or developing a stand-alone download. Regrettably, these two factors greatly determined our final decision to support the PC and Xbox platforms exclusively. However, we remain committed to supporting FINAL FANTASY XI on the PlayStation 2 platform for the foreseeable future.

This seems to be the info regarding PS2.

How often does SE actually do what they say

[Demon6324236]

Never... better than nothing though... I think

[Zerich]

well, what I see they didnt say they are dropping PS2 support.. with japan release their PS2 version more likely NA/EU will follow later on... and I still use PS2 FFXI on my PS3, its been 8 years lol.

Brace yourself for disappointment, then.

Now I laugh from all the people who voted "Down with the PS2! Q_Q" in the survey months ago.
All they got was a master trolling from SE.

Jokes aside, I knew it would happen eventually as the real reason (shops no longer stocking PS2 merchandise) was bound to happen. -_-;

I'm pretty sure there is a circle of hell that is reserved for people that use PS2 to play and hinder the development of this beloved game. I'm sure its right next to the people that talk during a movie in the theaters.

I'm sure that there's plenty of room reserved there for people who desire ill things happen to others, as well.

Guess he's safe then, since he never said he desired anything ill on anyone.

Never said. But had lots of thoughts about it. Otherwise he would not bother typing that. :P

Anyway PS2 is not dropped and even if it were nothing would change. Nothing to see here I suppose.
