[Tidis]

I have à pc i even play ffxi on thé pc sometimes but i wanna Keep bèing able to lay back on my sofa and play on a big screen with à controller. Idc if its costing them money Se have à réputation to save before thinking of greed like that. I dont understand why you Guys want it to shut so bad on console.. They wont update thé Game anyways. Like once 3 month they said and it will probably mean minor update. It could have à secound wind on ps4 and no montly fée. I think that could attrack lots of players back in game and as a console gamer i would bè happy but they wont so Please dont shut down ps2 lol. And Please Guys support

Out of order to be accusing SE of greed, especially since it has already been explained it's not SE's actions that are stopping PS2 + 360 support, Microsoft are closing 360 servers and Sony have only been keeping servers up as a favour to SE, it is literally the only PS2 game still with online capabilites.

As for sitting back with a controller, the PC version is more than capable of being played with a controller.

You can hook your computer to your TV via HDMI, and hook up a PS2/Xbox 360/PS3/PS4 controller to your computer and play the same as you do on your console, while running the PC version.

That's what I use to play on PC. I've never used the keyboard-only controls, I only know how to play with a controller mapped. I play on my 48" HDTV with HDMI.

Also, have you seen the PS2 version lately. I booted mine up on Friday, and the menus were unresponsive in the Mog Garden. Adoulin was a crash fest. The program is pushing the memory and CPU limitations of the PS2 right now, to the point the system is struggling.

This is the weakest excuse ever. They're dropping PS2 support, so needing a PS2 devkit to make new assets is stupid.

The JP population evaporating with the PS2 makes some sense because no company would be so insane as to support a platform that has been otherwise killing their once intensely profitable MMO for the last five or six years.

As for the person complaining about PS2 support getting dropped, get any PC made in the last decade, you can buy them used for dirt cheap (and reinstalling Windows if you're worried about the last person's files is super easy too), then get a USB adapter for your controller since that's the only legit excuse you couldn't hack it at playing on a PC, and spend five minutes mapping your controller. If you're using a PS3 controller the adapter is just the cord to charge it even.

They stated in the Famitsu interview that their tools for making new game assets are on the PS2 devkits. Their PC tools are only to convert the created assets to PC and Xbox 360, they don't have the tools to make new assets directly on PC.

Ha, so the old, decrepit bird has its uses. Hopefully, after SE finishes with the RoV updates, they'll devote more time to squashing game-halting bugs like that. I imagine that would have really sucked if you hadn't still had the PS2 setup available -- especially considering how slow SE is about fixing issues like that manually for users (or so I've heard.) Aren't you still stuck on a Bastok mission or something, Bungie?

San d'Oria mission Lightbringer, and it's a server-side glitch, not a client-side. I just haven't had much time to play in the last month, with trying to buy a house and my landlord having illegally kicked me out before I finished the purchase, so I've been couch surving. About a month ago it got escalated and GMs are noticing me when I am playing to ask about it. I haven't tried the mission again since.

i'd wonder how you guys would react , : FFXI directer yoshimoto has announced the close of support for PC , peaple will still be able to log in trough their xbox and ps2,

-No don't shut down the PC!!! the americans are on PC this will shut down the player base
- who cares SE said it was costing to much money for those players to invest cause there too much PC players and that involes too much servers soo to much staff to pay to keep continuing support on pc. Plus SE was just hosting those server has favor to microsoft windows PC. thanks you for years of involment in FFXI we looking foward see you online the FFXI team

If PS2 isn't possible (e.g. dev kit issues), why not port to PS3 and PS4? Consoles are NOT dead!

FFXI isn't worth the cost of porting it to PS3 or PS4.

yah SE is such too poor ... i mean with 2.3 million players in ff14 at 15 $ per month just for ff14 profit , they surly don't have the money to port ffxi on ps4.

He's saying that the FFXI property is not valuable enough to port. I'm sure they have plenty of money for it.... but Square Enix is not a charity. They're not going to sink R&D money into propping up a 12 year old product that's already losing popularity. They're going to sink it into potentially profitable new ventures, such as the recently announced FF7 remake.

ermm... because they would still need a PS2 devkit...
