PS2 limitation new Zone solution.

[Nephilipitou]

Here's a list of things that could be fixed.

Less pop in
Faster load times
No more play online viewer, or a better version of play online viewer
a more robust messaging system
No more having half if not more of Jueno being ghosts due to inability to render everyone
No more hit detection problems when AoE is being used on like 20+ enemies.
More U.I. tweaks to make things easier
More U.I. Customizability to make things more versatile.
Less testing needed, bug hunting, and trouble shooting.
Opprotunity to add more worlds to the game, new lands, and maybe even new quest types that may not be possible on PS2 hardware.
and so much more could be yours for the low low price of playing on a better platform.

Now what's the argument against other than some people may have to get an old computer for cheap or a 360 to play?


Since FF XIV started off as a project to upgrade the graphics off FFXI it's not as if there's no desire in Square Enix to give the game a more updated look. Once again though that would have led to the PS2 being abandoned and so once again the PS2 is holding everything back.

I do not and never will own a PC. I paid almost 5k for my mac and I love it. I do own an Xbox 360, along with a PS3. I DO play the game on my 360 but still have the PS2 fully updated for when friends or my wife would like to play.

Ending the Ps2 support would not affect me at all, but I still feel the fundamentals of doing so is wrong.

Call me what you want, and say what you will but it is MY OPINION and I am entitled to it.

A mac is a PC. It is a personal Computer. You can install bootcamp, and load up windows of your choice, and voila...

Heck imagine if they made a mac client or even a linux client when they drop PS2 support? Your opinion is that people should just deal with subscribers decreasing, and having a hard time getting new subscribers because of the aged qualities of the game, and that FFXI should not be trying to prevent or slow its demise down at all by making the game look newer and fresher to show people who abandoned it that they are still committed to making a quality product better and to get more new blood interested?

That's your argument? That FFXI should continue getting realatively worse every year by the standards of the rest of the MMOs improving every year, while FFXI holds its ground to stay an artifact of the PS2 generation rather than continue to evolve and progress?

Not a very good opinion IMO.

I'll never understand why people pay 5k for a mac. I paid 1.5 k if you combine the price of my computer, a new power supply, a new video card, a new hard drive, 2 monitors, my keyboards, etcetera. It can even handle FF XIV.

2k is the upper limit I'd pay. Are you a photo, video, or music creator?
