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.
