NA PS2 - One Last Shot

[Alhanelem]

They can't even be bothered to optimize both PC and 360 clients of FFXI, things that aren't bound by "PS2 limitations", I doubt they'd do much if they dropped PS2.


Anyone remember when XI's engine was supposed to receive a DX9 engine upgrade? Boy would that have solved a lot of problems with modern drivers being picky with the game....

It uses directX 9 for window management, nothing else. It was never promised to recieve an "upgrade" outside of that. They had to do it for windowed mode.

Also in case someone brings it up, xbox controllers use XInput, not DirectX, so fully utilizing directX 9 would not, for instance, solve the xbox controller troubles some people have complained about.

Still, it's more likely to happen if the PS2 is removed from the picture than if it isn't. Cynicism isn't a justification for continuing to support an ancient platform.
