PS2 limitation new Zone solution.

[Nephilipitou]

For people who just cant afford to get a computer,

There are people playing this game on PS2 who can't afford a netbook or don't even have a 5 year old computer? This game isn't taxing. A 200-300 dollar netbook can do it. They could even get a 360 to play it since you don't have to have an XBLG account to play FFXI. I'd like to see what the minimum PC specs to getting it functioning at or better than PS2 quality would take.

But if they can't afford to get a computer that is powerful enough to play FFXI I think they have much more important problems than not being able to play Abyssea content. Like having virtually no money. I'm sure if they pawned off stuff they didn't need, use, or sell some of their old games, they could get enough money to buy a computer powerful enough.

I don't think those arguments are valid.

Having content that you can not buy through the PS2 version shouldn't be an issue, however I would argue that they fixed the PS2 limitations. Before with an update all the files would be downloaded then rewritten aftewards.

Now a file is rewritten after its replacement is downloaded. So a 3GB update would need 6-7GB of free space (including a few hundred to a gig's worth of free space for various data related needs such as temporary files)

That's why some people couldn't download updates without reinstalling FFXI on their hard drive. If they drop Xbox/PS2 support I'd hope that they'd bring on a graphical overhaul along with it since FFXIV started off as a Graphics upgrade for XI. I'd like to see them do it in the middle range though.

So I think that we should be good to get to 99 at this point personally but then again I'm just going off of what devs have said and making my own conclusions. I'm not a dev myself.

They are not for sure, even SE at this point could give them a computer for free... I mean jeez even Bell Canada was giving Laptop for new customer for only 10$/month...

I am lucky I own all gaming consoles. I do not own a PC I have a Mac. I prefer the Mac over PC any day. But I am unable to play a lot of games & refuse to run windows 7 on bootcamp again. You have to use a 3rd party UI or smtp program to control the fans or else you fry the HDD, CPU & the such (my wife did that 6 months ago). So it is not worth the money to "hope" my wife remembers to turn the fan speed up.

It's too much work to set a program to start up with windows to do it automagically...?

best i was able to do was have ifan run at start up but it reset to default values. So I had to teach my wife how to use dos to set fan speed to around 3000rpm & get the cpu speed to 2200 & video card speed to 3500.

Best alternative is smc fan, which you either setup manually or boot into OSX and then into windows so the sms fan will copy the OSX settings. would love to find a good UI that allows me to create a statup setting.

Not available for mac, PC only. So in windows I can download & run it but it is unable to pick up all my sensors & gives me zero fan control. That is by far the best UI I have seen just wish they would hurry up & make it MAC supported.

Thanks for the suggestions though.
