    Since they are dropping console support entirely, can we can expect any kind of technical improvements? Like larger draw distances for the environment?

    I read about something called "windower" that will do that, but I am always skeptical of third-party software.

    DirectX limitations.

    Read: The bane of my existence. That bites. But if that's the issue how is it that Windower does it? We've dropped all this dead weight. It would be nice to see some kind of improvements since we don't have PS2 users to worry about.

    I was really excited when I heard they were dropping console support. It sucks it has to come with a cutback in development and stuff as well. Either way, if I can, I'm going to be playing this until the sun burns out and the Milky Way goes dark and cold. VIVA LA VANA'DIEL!

    I was being sarcastic. If they can't blame PS2 anymore, they need a new scapegoat.

    They don't need a scapegoat anymore, they just say no. The days when they cared what we think are long, long gone.

    It can be hard to catch sarcasm through text, plus I'm not tech savvy when it comes to stuff like DirectX. They are making those phone ports though, so... scapegoat?

    Admittedly, I started on PS2, so I'm not entirely without a bit of a soft spot, but even I can admit they should have dropped support for that years ago. It was never designed to do what they did with it. The fact that they managed it is a marvel in itself. I remember getting that huge box with the PS2 HDD extension. Lol! I went through hell getting it all to work, but it was so worth it!
