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.

I have a better Idea just give everyone what they want and Make FFXIV into FFXI-2, give the jobs back, the quests and missions are like they should be, open up the AH, remove the lvling limitation, make it so I can just pay like I am for FFXI no stupid monthly time buying...And while there at it let those that still play FFXI be able to transfer there account info over so I dont have to start a new one
