For those of us who still support the PS2 version of FFXI

Slap $2000 onto that and it'll run XIV like a charm

I figured as much. Guess I'm saving all my cookies then. :3 I have a few friends that have FFXIV and have told me its nothin special but given time SE will fix up the game and that extra $2000 should go down. Or they will release FFXIV for PS3 and I'll get myself a copy once its awesome (if it becomes awesome) and save more cash.

Back on topic FFXI for PS3 would be awesome but the updates would take a long time... Aside from that, slap my user info from PS2 version onto PS3 version and I'm good to go.

I actually have a ps3 tyvm so if they remade the game or at least let the ps2 version of the game run on ALL sp3s (seeing as mine isnt Backwards compatible) id be ok with it too... maybe release the game on a ps3 disc? then yeah I could play just fine on my ps3 but thats never gonan happen so id still have to depend on the ps2 version blame sony for killing BC

I say just make ffxi for ps3 and dump the ps2 just my opinion so sick of hearing ps2 limitations for a lifetime...

You definitely do not a $2000 computer to run ff14. You can run it just fine for under $1k, and even much cheaper if you're willing to lower the quality, and possibly deal with less than ideal (but still playable) performance.

True, I was just referring toward highest specs, while running lag free. But the main point of that post was referring to the fact that he's not missing much, the game is in a terrible state as it currently is, and dispite all these fancy letters Yoshi-P keeps writing, I've yet to see anything happen that makes me care enough to log on and start playing again. I think the most appealing thing that XIV has going for it right now, is that it's free of monthly charges, otherwise, I'd say any chinese free MMO > XIV.

PS2 user can still access their accounts if they ever switch to PC or XBox. I'm proof of that cuz i didn't want to go through of the hassle of buying outdated hardware. I'm a believer that outdated hardware will soon disappear from FFXI

Maybe SE should charge everyone 1$ extra per month for 1~2 yr, and buy a Xbox360 to everyone that still on PS2 >< i won't mind chip in, and finally see new ZONE!!!

Another option i was thinking lately is, why SE don't just limit the number of texture, number of armor model for PS2? Simple you play on PS2 then everyone look like they have Scorpion harness, it would free up enough space for new zone, plus it give a good reason to PS2 player to move on another console: "Sorry if everyone/everything look the same and graphic is very poor is due to limitation of PS2 " Can be sure everyone that play on PC, Xbox360 etc would love that limitation.

I am sure FFXI would be more popular and more player would join the game if more zone would be created. Please no more duped zone ><

Please no more duped zone ><

This has nothing to do with ps2 limitations.

The PS2 is 11 years old, I find it absolutely ridiculous that SE is still supporting it. Simply give all PS2 players a free 360/PC client and drop it completely. Just imagine a what can be done without those limitations! Most PS2 players have a PC anyways.

If anyone wants this game to live longer, SE MUST drop support for the PS2 and move on to better things.

I know PS2 accounts work on xbox and PC, back when I had money (and a working pc) I used to switch between playing FFXI on my pc and ps2 all the time
