PS2 limitation new Zone solution.

Why exactly would they ever do this? You realize the ONLY limitation the ps2 imposes is memory, yes?

Well my idea was bit more then only that, i just did not go thru all detail.

*more bandwidth to start with, more memory for DEV, more performance, i doubt i need list all the limitation of PS2... The idea stay the same.

Only one of those is a real limitation imposed by the ps2. And that one has no bearing on adding new zones/gear/monsters/etc.

It do for amazing animation, amazing texture with detail, new armor model and so on which is probably reason #1 why WoW stay #1 as RPG, sad story too because FFXI have full potential, is just the limitation that hold his potential.

Of course i am not amaze by nice graphic, is reason i play FFXI and not WoW, but trust me is not general opinion, you have to consider more then PS2, tell me your feeling if you buy a HD1080p TV but unable to see the difference because your cable/satellite provider refuse to upgrade? You would be insulted i am pretty sure.

Pc/x360 versions already use better quality graphics than than the ps2. Not sure why you think that would require limiting zones/gear only to pc/x360 players.

exactly right.

I went out & bought the game for 360 due to the poor graphics on my PS2. But we have to realize something here. The PS2 was the original release. It is hard for a company to drop their "baby". Now i have been trying to find a mod that you could do to the PS2 to increase the RDRAM. It is possible but just how far can you go?

Another thing I am curious is why would they not make it for PS3, I am unable to find the exact reason so if someone could enlighten me that would be great.

Sony requires ps2 ports to get an HD update. I'm not sure what exactly would be required for that, but apparently it's too much effort for SE.

Extra cost that would give no benefit to SE... Not like would give any for us too.

because they prefer to do xiv on ps3 most likely, plus ps3 with backward compact works just fine.

Not alot of them in circulation, but heard it is not all that great anyways. I would be interested in a PS3 release not just PS2 game on new system.

But on another note, has SE ever stated why they never made PS3 version? (instead of a lot of peoples opinions)
