This thread AGAIN, please, fix WK.

Yeah DJ I think they should get rid of PS2 support. But then again getting rid of PS2 support wouldn't be the only issue. Coding the game and all expansions to higher technology would be the same as Yoshi P recreating a while new game engine.

FFXI is 11 year old technology. Not today's technology. And when people want today's gaming demands would mean SE would have to bring the entire game to today's technology.

I can't imagine how many years and how many multimillion dollars and staff of programmers it would take to do this.

No one said rebuild the game, remove some limits which are brought by PS2 like inventory, that's all, I cant believe it would involve going through every expansion and area in the game as well as everything else just to make it so our inventory can go to 150 instead of 80...

This is why FF7 was never revised.

You apparently have no idea why FFVII was never redone. Anyone who has paid any attention to that game knows that they would make a ton of money off it, and it wouldn't be hard to redo. I mean really, they could literally do exactly the same thing with FFVII as Microsoft/343 did with Halo:CE, make the game exactly 100% the same, but with better graphics, and in the case of FFVII, yes, they should probably move it into full 3D, not the 3D style the original had. The reason I remember them giving for not having done a remake of FFVII is because they do not want to do it till they feel they have made a FF game which surpasses it.

This is what I'm talking about. It's because of PS2 they cannot go above 80. Unless you want to login with longer load times and a broken inventory. I play on PC and I remember a long time ago they made an adjustment only to shutdown for emergency maintenance because one day Macros and inventory was not appearing properly.

Just how I submitted a bug report a few weeks ago how my Rank level wasn't appearing on my Bokwus Robe or Soothsayer staff all because they added too many stats.

Yeah they would make a lot of money if they redesigned the game correctly. But to do that would mean investing millions of dollars risking the chance of failure if they do it wrong.

They said they need another Hit series before making such a decision. I'd hate to invest millions only for it to flop like FFXIV did round 1.
