I have to imagine that the software is currently optimized for the PS2, which is why it's such a horrendous CPU hog on PCs. If we lost PS2 support, perhaps its PC load would be more what we'd expect from a game that's approaching a decade old.
Cost/benefit, I know, but I really wonder if it's worth it for SE to continue dumping money into the failure that is FFXIV when they could just drop PS2 support and massively upgrade FFXI.
