This thread wants me to yell "ps2 limitations" at it. It wants it so badly, I can see it in it's eyes. Must...resist.

Anyway, yeah, long overdue.

If you have crap cluttering up your screen then you obviously have a craptacular computer, i have so much space on my screen with the resolution i use, it saddens me that there is barely anything on it. No possible way that a detailed mini version of the map that streams your position would take up anymore room than the already piece of crap mini see through compass with transparent blue or purple lines and red dots for enemies. <------- this is where u put it, replace that dum see through compass garbage

Um... no. I can gaurentee your computer wishes it was 1/10th mine. And for your information I have a 36' screen.

WTF is so ps2 limitation about this. Almost every PS2 game has a streaming minimap for your character, its not streaming from the internet, but its there. I dont even understand this stupid limitation crap, the game hasnt even used 50 percent of the HD on a PS2, so why is it so hard to fit it on there?

then wtf is the problem queen of large cumbersome computer with gigantic Monitor capable of making it near impossible for any game to clutter your screen with the proper resolution settings.

Some one missed the joke.

Your common sense doesn't belong here. What are you thinking?

lol

This doesnt even help genius. The map on the wiki doesnt stream your position on the map, so your STILL forced to check your exact position with /map, then peer at the wiki map to compare your position with wherever it is you're trying to go. This doesnt really help.

still you run into things a lot less ^^ I do admit though a mini map would be nice.

They already said it can't be done. It's not a matter of "Well the N64 could do it why can't FFXI?" There is some facet of the game's design, its architecture, its connection and communication with the servers, or some other technical aspect of the game that prevents them from implementing this feature.

That is all there is to it. It is not "Too advanced for ffxi", nor is it "too much work". It simply can't be done based on the way the game is already set up.

OK OK. so, hows about we get couple people who know wtf they are doing, and create a third party program to stream it to a third party minimap program!!!!
