Final Fantasy XIV now has a firm date for its PlayStation 3 release, and a future release for the PlayStation 4 has been announced at E3. This is all just in time Final Fantasy XI to essentially lose support on the PS2 in North America.

So I have to ask: Is there any hope of XI piggy-backing onto these platforms in the wake of XIV? I'm not going to ask for a miracle like an engine overhaul or some such, but it would be nice if something like a compilation of the original PS2 release was made available for download and play through the PlayStation Network. It would be nice to be able to play both games on the same console, especially if it was done in such a way that it allowed voice chat between the players of the different games, enabling everyone to stay in touch.
