The only issue I see with starting this now is.

By the time you got funding, say whatever that magic number is, you will have lost some of the people willing to do it.
Everyday that goes by true FFXI fans in NA and UK playing on PS2 still are thinking about upgrading because they know they are getting left behind. Also, I would like anyone playing on PS2 who hasn't played on a PC or xbox try before requesting more support for PS2.

PS2 is 640x480
PC Well
The 1st is closest to ps2. where the 3rd is what you can get with PC

I started on PS2 stopped reading disks and tossed it. Switched to laptop till my screen died. Switched to Xbox360 started getting Red ring of death and finally got a PC to play FFXIV on and I play FFXI on it. Out of all of that. PC is the best interface hands down. Followed by xbox360 for gaphics upgrades and 5.1 sound. And finally PS2, if it was the only option to play ffxi today I wouldn't play.


Please try and play on PC or xbox360 you will not regret it.
